This indicates we are dealing with a great circle which is not along the equator, nor along a meridian
- actually, bfisk first part right, second wrong. All that part of the question is telling you is that the route is NOT along the equator in which case rhumb and g circle are identical and you WOULD arrive at destination.
an aircraft is tracking a great circle track, there is a large bearing change between departure and arrival points
If there's a "large bearding change between departure and destination", then how can said great circle be along a meridian? Surely a track along a meridian has no bearing change (it can only be 180/360?)?
Perhaps we are speaking past each other...
