The great circle is the shortest distance between the two points along the surface of the spherical earth. Notice that th e intersection between the plane and the earth goes considerably north (pole ward) of the constant latitude path. At the maximum the difference in the two paths is about 350 km.
Use Great Circle Mapper to calculate the distance and flight duration between all airports worldwide and draw the flight route on a map.

A great circle path is the shortest path on the surface of a sphere between two points on that sphere. Since Earth is not a true sphere, the proper term is a geodesic path though great circle is commonly used.
29 gru 2015 · I used my six-letter grid square identifier for centering the map. Depending on the 'distance' value used, one can tailor the map for local / regional work or for a worldwide setting. This is the map generated for a distance unit of 500km and would be helpful for local VHF'ing:
