POINT-TO-POINT
B iid air-line distances printed below moy provide some help for listeners following an aircraft’s progress on the map. The places listed are those given by entrants in the speed section as probable and as possibie stopping places. The distances are in naufical miles, and are Great Circle measurements, which means that they are the shortest distances between the places mentioned. It will be found that they do not always correspond with flight-plan distances, the reason being that political, geographical or meteorological considerations may require aircraft to deviate from the great-circle between one stop and the next.
