The linear scale remains the same in both directions of latitudes and longitudes around any point. In other words, this map is conformal, also known as orthomorphic, since this mapping preserves the local shape of features. Nevertheless, the longitudes are projected as they are within the scale of your operations. Therefore, you will end up with a grid of equal spaces, that is, a projection chart for small regions. There are 60 NM for every one-degree longitude in this region; however, as you move away from the Equator, the meridians get closer to one another—meaning that the scale changes depending on the latitude. Departure (the difference between the current longitude and that of the destination for the given latitude) is then defined based on equation (176) as a function of the change of longitude in minutes (ChLong) multiplied by the Cosine of latitude (Cos(Lat)):
