How to acess direction information of drone using flight records

I suspect that your code has a bug. Here is my Java code

public static void destnation(double latitudeDegrees,
        double longitudeDegrees, double brng, double distance) {

    System.out.println("Origin Lat = " + latitudeDegrees + " Long = "
            + longitudeDegrees + " brng = " + brng + " distance = "
            + distance);
    double radius = 6371e3;
    double brngRadians = Math.toRadians(brng);
    double latRadians = Math.toRadians(latitudeDegrees);
    double longRadians = Math.toRadians(longitudeDegrees);
    double destLatRadians = Math
            .asin(Math.sin(latRadians) * Math.cos(distance / radius)
                    + Math.cos(latRadians) * Math.sin(distance / radius)
                            * Math.cos(brngRadians));

    double destLongRadians = longRadians + Math.atan2(
            Math.sin(brngRadians) * Math.sin(distance / radius)
                    * Math.cos(latRadians),
            Math.cos(distance / radius)
                    - Math.sin(latRadians) * Math.sin(destLatRadians));

    double destLatDegrees = Math.toDegrees(destLatRadians);
    double destLongDegrees = Math.toDegrees(destLongRadians);

    System.out.println("Destination Lat = " + destLatDegrees + " Long = "
            + destLongDegrees);
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Util.destnation(37.4815207267064, 38.6497129186169, 310, 450);
}

and it’s output

Origin Lat = 37.4815207267064 Long = 38.6497129186169 brng = 310.0 distance = 450.0
Destination Lat = 37.48412198992392 Long = 38.64580610647096

You can compile and execute this code. Or, you could provide your inputs and I’ll run the code
