On a polar stereographic chart, meridians appear as
Straight lines
On a lamberts conformal conical projection, a great circle track away from the parallel of origin appears
Concave to the parallel of origin
On a Mercator projection a straight line represents
A rhumb line
On a polar stereographic projection, rhumb lines are
Curved concave to the pole
On a polar stereographic projection, great circles are
Represented by straight lines at the pole, becoming concave to the pole at low lat
In the northern hemisphere, the great circle track bearing decreases when flying
West
On a lamberts projection, the distance scale is expanded
Outside the standard parallels
FYI rhumb line is the avg of the great circle track at either end, or equal to the great circle track at half way on a lamberts conformal conic projection
Got it spunk
