You can put this solution on YOUR website!
you don't say how far it travels on the bearing of 66 degrees, presumably from point C point B.

my understanding is that the plane flies from point A to point C and then to point B.

no distance from point C to point B means point B can be anywhere along the bearing 66 degrees trajectory.

that makes the determination of the length of AB not possible as faras i can tell.
