What the aircraft actually flies over
From Miami the path crosses 284 km of open water, then Cuba, then 1,355 km of open water.
The furthest the great circle gets from the equator is 25.8°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 out of Miami, south into Panama City. Over this distance the curve has too little room to bend the compass.
