Abstract
It the “mean effective on-track wind components” along the Great Circle track and any other track of known length are known, it is possible to compare flight-times along the two tracks. A graph is devised whereby it may be determined whether or not the longer track offers a shorter flight-time. By comparing several likely-looking tracks, that one which most closely, approximates the best-time track may be found.
