Pilots typically use an aircraft's onboard instruments, such as the flight management system (FMS) and the altimeter, to measure distance. The FMS calculates distance based on the aircraft's speed, heading, and time of flight. Additionally, pilots may refer to navigation aids like GPS, which provide real-time distance information. Ground-based VOR (VHF Omnidirectional Range) stations and distance measuring equipment (DME) are also used to determine the distance from a specific point.
