Airplanes in flight can be just a few feet from the surface, during air shows and demonstrations, or when more than 500 feet from people or structures over water and in remote areas.
Airliners usually fly around 35,000 feet or about 11,000 meters above the "standard datum plane" which on a "standard" day would be the same number of feet and meters above sea level. So by subtracting the "height above sea level" of the land the airliner is above from the number shown on the airliner's altimeter you get the "height above ground."
Usually this means a distance of an airliner in the air to land of between five and six "statute" miles.
What else can I help you with?
What is the deference between air distance and land distance?
Air distance will be a straight line; land distance will not.
Will the amount of air movement affect the distance of a paper air planes?
Yes, the amount of air movement can have an impact on the distance a paper airplane can travel. Stronger air currents can help lift and propel the plane further, while turbulent air may disrupt its flight path. It is important to consider wind conditions when trying to achieve maximum distance with a paper airplane.
Is a hovercraft like an airplane?
No, a hovercraft is not an airplane. a hovercraft is a craft capable of moving over water or land on a cushion of air created by jet engines.
Can hot air balloons go higher than an airplane?
No. Air pressure and temperature keep hot air balloons from going past a certain distance. At any rate, the air is to thin at 35,000 feet (average airplane height) for any human to survive.
What is the distance of airplane?
Depends on the airplane size and engines used.
Does the air above the airplane move faster than the air below the airplane?
That's true for the airplane's wings, when the airplane is flying upright.
Are coach seats in an airplane nice?
depends on the airplane and the carrier and the distance
What can a triphibian do?
A triphibian is a person skilled equally in combat on land, at sea, and in the air. Triphibian also refers to an airplane that can take off from land, water, snow, or ice.
An airplane flew for 4 hours with a 20 km hr tailwind The return flight against the same wind took 5 hours Find the speed of the airplane in still air?
Let the speed of the airplane in still air be represented by V.Velocity = Distance ÷ Time, thus Distance = Velocity x Time.D = 4(V + 20) = 5(V - 20), then 4V + 80 = 5V - 100 : V = 180 kphThe speed in still air is 180kph
An airplane flies at a rate of 356 km If the plane travels a total distance of 1424 km how long was it in the air?
356 kilometres is a distance, not a speed. Therefore, the two units are incompatible.
Sentence using land to land?
Is there enough land to land the airplane safely.
What energy is used to land an airplane?
3 sources of energy are used to land an airplane: # Thermal energy from the airplanes engines. # Kinetic energy from the airplanes movement through the air # Potential energy from the airplanes loss of altitude. The airplane pilot balances the airplanes flightpath and slows the plane taking into account these three energy sources sometimes using one of these to bleed off another (e.g. using the engines to provide an air brake to dissipate the remaining kinetic energy after the airplane is on the runway).
