Information Calculator

This script creates an initial true course heading from the field of departure to the destination field. Both airports are identified by inserting the latitude and longitude, degrees and minutes for each, or degrees, minutes and seconds for each. If you do not use seconds, you may use decimal minutes. If you use seconds, that field will use decimal seconds also. Be sure to check the hemisphere indicators for each airport's co-ordinates. Then click on Calculate to determine the course and approximate distance in a direct route. This calculator does not take into consideration weather, winds, magnetic deviation or restricted areas.
