Hey guys,

Thank you very much for all the interesting replies. Really learn a lot of things from you guys, hope to fly with you one day, Old Smokey :P.

I totally understand that there will be a change in the IMT for each great circle with a change of latitude.

So can I safely say, the FMC will fly a Great Circle track from point A to Abeam point B and another Great Circle Track from abeam point B to point C and the distance travelled is THE SAME as the Great Circle Track from point A directly to point C ?

Just to conclude the discussion. To make sure I got the concept right.

Thanks guys !!

Cheers.
