CJ should not be so hard on himself. The line between even+ and odd+
may be an exact mathematical number, but nobody can fly that exactly,
and even if they could, there would be people flying 358 at the same
altitude as people flying 181. It's a fact of life. And all it takes
is a slight crosswind for the 181 degree aircraft to need to fly 177 to
maintain course, and then 181 again.
I thought the hemispherical rules were based on magnetic course, not
heading?
