The principal advantage of calculating great circles this way is that once PA and PB have been calculated, the rest can be left to the calculator and no ambiguity concerning sides or angles bigger or less than 90 will occur.
When calculating spherical triangles it is best to convert all sides and angles into decimal angles.
This can be done using the '" button on your calculator, or by dividing the minutes by 60. Always work to 3 decimal places of a degree when using decimal angles.

DECK 122 (NAVIGATION-II) Great circle sailing- Napier's Rules
Vertex of a Great Circle The vertex of a great circle is the maximum latitude point
of the great circle. The vertex has the following properties: There is a maximum latitude point in both the northern
and southern hemispheres; these points have the same value of latitude (eg if northern vertex = 40N then southern vertex = 40S).
The longitudes of the vertices are 180 apart (e.g. if one is in 20W, the other is in 160E).
At the vertex the course on the great circle is exactly 090T or 270T, depending on whether you are proceeding towards the east or the west. This means that the angle between the great circle and the meridian at the vertex is always 90.

Sin mid part = Product of tan of adjacents.
Sin Co PA = Tan Co A x Tan Co P
Cos PA = 1 / Tan A x 1/ Tan P
Multiple by Tan P
Tan p x Cos PA = 1/Tan A
Tan P = 1 / (Tan A x Cos PA)
This gives us P, the D.Long between A and V, and hence the longitude of V.

To find the position of the vertex you will first have to find the great circle initial course angle A. This will be found by the cosine rule
We will then know two parts of the triangle and can find any other part. The parts we know are Angle A and the Co-Latitude of A (PA).
We need to find PV (when taken from 90, PV will give the latitude of the vertex), and angle VPA (the D.long between A and V) which is applied to the known longitude of A to give the longitude of the vertex.

DECK 122 (NAVIGATION-II) Composite GC sailing
It is not always possible or desirable to travel along a great circle for some of the following reasons.
The great circle track may pass through high latitudes where weather is likely to be rough and the ship may encounter large waves and swell.
The great circle track may pass over land.
The saving of distance is small in low latitudes, or if the course is nearly north/south.
A great circle track may take the ship into head winds and adverse currents.

To find initial course A
Sin Mid Part = Cos Opposites
Sin PV1 = Cos Co A x Cos Co PA
Sin PV1 = Sin A x Sin PA
Sin A = Sin PV1 / Sin PA

To find distance AV
Sin Mid Part = Cos Opposites
Sin Co PA = Cos PV1 x Cos AV1
Cos PA = Cos PV1 x Cos AV1
