Airplanes DO fly straight. Jeppesen Flight Charts are two dimensional maps that have straight WAY POINTS. Flight plans contain WAY POINTS ..... A to B ......B to C .... And so on. Auto Pilot & Air Traffic Control directives & corrections work with exact constant Course Headings from a 360-degree circle of a magnetic north compass. If airplanes really flew like the moronic indoctrination video (above) the correct course HEADING would be constantly changing throughout the flight.

I knew this earlier but am glad you discussed this here. My query is just how does the pilot accomplish this route? If you set your route by setting the plane to fly a constant compass heading, say 270 due West, does that give you the shortest route or does it just follow the same Latitude you’re already on? How does the plane fly a great circle route? Thank you, Dr. J.

Anyone curious enough feel free to look up Flight 8 from Delta on Thursday November 2 from Haneda to LAX, I Don't understand why they took a direct flight over the ocean and through several portions of severe weather....I was on that flight and the turbulence was horrible.

K I know I sound dumb but why when I fly on royal Jordanian going from Amman to Washington 13 hours and it fly’s in a straight line it dosent curve but other airlines like Qatar airways fly over greenlend

Love from Nepal ❤ can I get a reply?

For those who are not going to check the full video (and yes, i totally agree because it is boring to watch) The reason why is that is, is because there is jet streams (Between cold and warm place) where the winds pushes objects in the sky, and this applies to planes, they use this to save fuel. The thing about jet streams is that jet steams are mostly only common in winter months so there’s no point right? No, Air Traffic Control towers (ATC), ATC are usually not placed in a straight line, and ATCs or Airports would be scattered in different directions, so the planes have to usually go approach the ATCs nearest to the straight path to the destination for communication with the ground incase of a emergency, similar to checkpoints like in car racing games or car rally games. (Extras) This is also to prevent planes from colliding into each other

Lets say we had a bad mathematician who put too little kerosene on an aircraft. What would happen if they only realised that they had low fuel when the landing airport was the nearest. Would they go in a straight line to conserve fuel?

Such a situation is virtually impossible as there are so many layers of safety to prevent that. However, if that theoretically happened, yes, the airplane will get priority as it’s in an emergency situation and everything will be done to make it possible to land

This is rubbish. They do fly in straight lines, as you can check on a globe. Maps are distorted so routes appear to be curved. Routes will vary due to restrictions on where they can fly over.
