Abstract
The problem of analytical approximation is solved for the functional dependences of navigation parameters of aircraft, the flight paths of which are the geodetic lines of an ellipsoid or spherical orthodromic lines. The obtained functional dependences make it possible to significantly reduce the instrumentation of the measurement and navigation system of the aircraft and the computational costs in solving flight navigation problems.
