Hi,
The INS or the IRS/FMS was my favourite calculator. We also had tables which gave the Initial Great Circle Track and the average track between waypoints 10 degs apart at various Latitudes, and the GC distance between them for cross checking.
I suppose there's an APP for the iphone now is there?

A PC App is exactly what I want, Mathy; thanks heaps. I'm downloading it right now.
Yeh, I used to use the DC-10 AINS-70 RNAV for this job back in the 1970s and 80s.
