I need your help on the following questions-sentences.
Please,correct me if I am wrong!


1)The two points are on the same parallel of latitude (60o).The part of parallel of latitude that connects them is a rhumb line since it cross the meridian of 10 and 20 degrees of longitude at the same angle (which is 90 degrees).
Do you agree?

2)An aircraft that will fly from A to B (eastward direction),will have a constant TRUE TRACK of 90.


3)The gyro compass is aligned on the point A with TRUE north.So,when the trip starts the gyro compass shall indicate 090 (since there is no wind,right).But as the aircraft flies due to precession the indication of gyro compass is altered.
Do you agree?

4)In order to fly on a constast gyro track we have to alter the TRUE HEADING in the beginning of the trip by the half of the precessions?


Thanks for your time!
