1
Q
Departure
A
Departure(nm) = CHlong x 60 ×cos(Lat)
2
Q
Convergency
A
Convergency=CHlong×sin(mid. Lat)
Used to find difference between initial and final great circle track.
3
Q

A
1/2×CHlong×sin(mid. Lat)
Used to find difference between rhumb line (midway route) and Great Circle
4
Q
Lambert’s Projection
A
Chart Convergency=CHlong×Sin(PO)
