Earth's rotation has no direect effect on the flight of aircraft. Aircraft fly in and through the atmosphere, and the atmosphere rotates with the earth. Technically, there is some effect though ... the rotation of high- and low-pressure weather systems is a consequence of the earth's rotation, and commercial aircraft have to be aware of the winds and weather when they plan their flight paths.

What is a flight engineer?

In plne time of flight is not same in going and come back?
The time of a flight, especially internationally, may differ between initial and return flights because the aircraft is going in the opposite direction to the rotation of the Earth's axis in one, making it longer, and the same direction in the other, making it shorter. Note: Other factors such as wind and the type of aircraft may also play a part in flight time.
What is flight deck effect in Boeing aircraft?
The flight deck is the name given to the area from which the aircraft is actually controlled, as in, pilot, copilot, flight engineer, and any other persons that are a part of the crew tasked with the actual control of the aircraft. The cockpit is a part of the flight deck.
