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)
A
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).
B
The entire track line is to the west of the Northern Hemisphere vertex.
C
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.
D
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.
