Great Circle Sailing - How it accounts for the curvature of the earth? Watch full video!

In this video I use an example of an airline and how they traverse the surface of the earth (taking into account its curvature as well) to find the shortest distance between two points.
This video explains how Great Circle Sailing occurs in the context of both maritime and airline industry, and why diagrams are drawn the way they are.

amazing how accurately they were able to find their way home, especially when those ancient mariners all knew the earth is measured, mapped and navigated flat. angles dont come from curved lines, the GP is 90° below the sun, polaris, etc. and derived with respect to a flat horizon. the dip correction is calculated using a flat plane of reference, surface level and eye level - which are parallel to each other. we dont take measurements of earth using an imaginary line from the center of earth. a mariners sextant is used prior to departure to set a base for future measurements. welcome to flat earth.
