You have been provided with easterly track bearings, and the question requires you to calculate the westerly bearing. This is the opposite direction or "reciprocal" track. To calculate a reciprocal, you add or subtract 180 (as appropriate).
Why do you think the red line is the GC? A great circle approximates a straight line on a chart. Rhumb lines are (a) curved lines, (b) on the Equatorial side of the great circle and (c) constant bearing - they intersect each meridian of longitude at the same angle. If you think the GC is on the equatorial side of the RL, I suggest you go back to your instructor and ask for more clarification. Best of luck.:-)
MrWhiteSnow1986 because you must find the reciprocal track. On a compass rose in order to find the opposite of a number you must add 180 degrees if it’s till 180, or to subtract 180 if it’s more than 181.
One of the nicest explaination with a very fundamental approach. Very good for new learners like me.
Thank you Rishiraj. Stand by for lots more coming soon on a new platform.
Sir why you stopped vlogging???
So nice instructor never see sir.
Please start vlogging again.
Very clear explanation
Great videos, I wish my groundschool instructors were like this
Perfect Explanation

Helped me a lot ! Thanks so much
you wrote N for both hemispheres. great video thanks
Yes he did that on purpose. The second hemisphere is supposed to be the southern hemisphere, but N is still on the north like he said.
He is amazing !
Very nice.. Thx
Great Explanation
Kindly do one on the southern hemisphere
Wow, great one.
Thank you!
Thank you so much!~
Nice.
THANK YOU
Awesome
dude, thanks.
merci
Great!

GC IS THE ONE WITH RED PEN , THAT IS NOT THE RHUMB LINE SIR
Hello . Why I have to add 180 plus 83 ...why 180 ?? How come ?

the sound of the pencil is horrible !!!!!!!
Awesome
