🔍 Key Concepts

• Great circle vs. rhumb line on a gnomonic chart (WOXZC 5270) • Location of the vertex of a great circle in the Northern Hemisphere • How a composite sailing track with a limiting latitude (e.g., 51° N) interacts with the Aleutian Islands

💭 Think About

• First, sketch or visualize the great circle track between the departure and arrival positions on the North Pacific—does it pass near or over the Aleutians, and where would its highest latitude (vertex) likely fall? • Think about which quadrant the final course from the great circle track to the arrival point must lie in, given that you are starting in the western Pacific and ending on the west coast of North America. • Consider what changing to a composite sailing with a limiting latitude of 51° N does to the track—does it move it closer to or farther from the Aleutian chain?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm the approximate longitude of the great circle vertex relative to the arrival longitude (124° W). • Check on the gnomonic chart whether the direct great circle passes close enough to the Aleutians to be a hazard. • Verify the general direction (NE, NW, SE, SW) of your final leg as you approach 46° 15' N, 124° 00' W.
