The document provides information about navigation concepts including:
- A flight between two points 49°S 180°E/W and 58°S, 180°E/W is approximately 1000 km.
- Conversion angle is the angular difference between the rhumb line and great circle between two positions.
- Meridians converge at the poles meaning the angular difference between meridians decreases as you move towards the poles.
- GPS uses 24 satellites equally spaced around 6 orbits to determine position using trilateration.
