Flight is considered to be when the weight of the aircraft is off the ground. The definition can be more complicated if you want to apply for a record. "Powered Flight" is demonstrated by an airplane that can fly on its own power and is not dropped from a height. To test this, they usually required the airplane to fly a circuitous route or fly out a distance and return. This was to ensure that the aircraft was not being lifted by a strong wind.
