The type of map projection used by pilots is called a Polar Projection. It shows the Earth from one of the two poles, which helps show what is known as The Great Circle Route. This states that if you live on a rounded object such as the Earth, you travel on a curved line. This makes a Polar Projection the best choice and most commonly used map projection used by pilots.

Why does flat-plane projections used by airplane pilots?

Airline Pilots use flat plane projection maps to plan flight paths because these maps provide "straight line" paths that appear curved on a globe, but in fact are the shortest distances between two distant points on the planet. Mercator Projections cannot be used as it is a false representation of the actual sizes of landmasses the further from the equator you go (The maps where Greenland looks almost as big as South America).

What is the type of cylindrical map projection that is commonly used and shows straight meridians and parallels that intersect at right angles?

The type of cylindrical map projection that fits this description is the Mercator projection. It is commonly used for navigation purposes due to its property of showing straight meridians and parallels that intersect at right angles, although it does distort the sizes of landmasses at higher latitudes.


What type of projection uses vanishing points?

A perspective projection uses vanishing points to represent the way objects appear to converge at infinity when viewed in perspective. This type of projection is commonly used in art and architecture to create realistic representations of three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional surface.

Does the airline pilots association support democrats or republicans?

The Airline Pilots Association, or ALPA, does not by default support either party. Furthermore, by law, the pilots' union dues cannot be used for any kind of political contribution. ALPA-PAC (PAC stands for Political Action Committee) receives volunteer donations by ALPA pilots for political lobbying of aviation issues and other issues that affect airline pilots. ALPA-PAC supports politicians depending on their views with regard to these airline pilot issues - and support is given regardless of the party affiliation of the politician. ALPA-PAC chooses who it supports very carefully and does so based solely on candidates' voting records and their views on specific issues. For this reason, many times the PAC decides not to support anyone (as in the last Presidential election where it did not endorse either candidate). For more information, visit the ALPA-PAC website at the related link.
