(Use gnomonic tracking chart WOXZC 5270) Distance is measured in 60-mile segments using the length of a degree of latitude at the mid-latitude. The vertex of the great circle track is north of the Aleutian Islands. You can sail a great circle track between the two points.

Using gnomonic chart WOXZC 5270, determine which answer is TRUE. (The great circle distance, Unimak Pass to Honolulu, is 2013 miles.) The northern vertex of the great circle track would lie between Unimak Pass and Nome. A great circle course would offer no significant advantage because the rhumb line course is close to 180°. A great circle track results in a significant savings in distance when compared to a rhumb line. Distance of the great circle track is measured by using the length of degree of latitude at the mid-latitude of the track. Great Circle Sailing

At your highest latitude, the sun will be visible at upper and lower transit if the voyage occurs on 21 June. Military exercises north of 53°N, between 150°W and 165°W, will not affect your voyage. The northern hemisphere vertex lies to the west of your arrival position. You must plot a composite sailing to remain south of the Aleutians. Great Circle Sailing
D Which statement about a great circle track between Cape Flattery (LAT 48°30'N, LONG 125°00'W) and Guam (LAT 14°00'N, LONG 145°00'E) is TRUE? (Use gnomonic tracking chart WOXZC 5270) The entire track line is to the west of the Northern Hemisphere vertex. Distance is measured by determining the length of a line in minutes of arc from the midpoint of the track to the point of tangency. When plotted on a Mercator chart the great circle track will appear as an S curve with the curve reversing at the latitude of the point of tangency (30°N). Military exercises being carried out within a 150 mile radius of LAT 47°10'N, LONG 137°30'W will interfere with the proposed track line. Great Circle Sailing

A great circle track is not significantly shorter than a rhumb line track. When plotted on a Mercator chart, the track line will be convex to San Francisco. You will cross the Northern Hemisphere vertex where the track line crosses LAT 45°N. Distance is measured by using the length of a degree of longitude at the mid-latitude line. Great Circle Sailing

The entire track line is west of the Northern Hemisphere vertex. Distance is measured using the length of a degree of longitude at the point of tangency. You will cross the Northern Hemisphere vertex at the approximate longitude of 159°W. A composite sailing should be used to avoid the Bonin Islands. Great Circle Sailing
