10.Method for Calculation of Airline Mileage
10.The airline mileage between two cities can be calculated using the Vertical (V) and Horizontal (H)
coordinates of the serving wire centers associated with the Company s POP locations. The method
for calculating the airline mileage is obtained by reference to AT&T's Tariff F.C. No. 10, using
the following formula:
the square root of'(VI-V2)2 + (H1-H2)2
where V1 and H1 correspond to the V & H coordinates of City 1 and V2 and H2
correspond to the V & H coordinates of City 2.
Example:
City 1
City 2
5004
5987
1406
3424
the square root of' (5004-5987)2 + (1406-3424)2
The result is 709.83 miles. Any fractional miles are rounded to the next higher whole
number; therefore, the airline mileage for this example is 710 miles.
