The Atlanta to Miami route drawn as a great circle arc on a globe
What the aircraft actually flies over
From Atlanta the path crosses the United States.
The furthest the great circle gets from the equator is 33.6°N, 0% of the way along.
Holding a single compass bearing the whole way would cover almost exactly the same ground, so on this route the flat map and the globe agree.
The heading barely moves: south-east out of Atlanta, south-east into Miami. Over this distance the curve has too little room to bend the compass.
