Airline miles, also known as frequent flyer miles or travel points, are loyalty programs offered by airlines and credit cards. First off, the term “miles” doesn’t equate to the actual number of miles you’ve already flown, or can fly in the future.

Q. What do you mean by air distance?
air distance (AD) A distance measured relative to the mass of air through which an aircraft passes. The no-wind distance flown in a given time. Also, it considers the distance increase caused by the altitude above the earth’s surface.
Q. Is nautical miles the same as air miles?
Guidance: The term “air mile” is internationally defined as a “nautical mile” which is equivalent to 6,076 feet or 1,852 meters. Thus, the 100 air miles are equivalent to 115.08 statute miles or 185.2 kilometers.
Q. How many land miles is 150 air miles?
172.6 statute miles
Q. Why is air distance less than land distance?
The term air mile, also known as a nautical mile, refers to the distance between two locations measured by traveling from one to the other over water or in the air. Because of the difference in the way the two are measured, an air mile is established as a distance of 6,080 feet while a land mile distance is 5,280 feet.
Q. Why do planes not fly in straight line?
The reason for this is that the earth revolves on its axis, forcing the middle to bulge out slightly. The curvature of the earth and its extra equatorial width mean that curving towards the poles is a shorter distance than flying in a straight line.
Q. Why can’t planes fly over the Pacific?
The main reason flight don’t go over the Pacific Ocean is because curved routes are shorter than straight routes. Flat maps are confusing as the earth itself isn’t flat. As a result the straight routes don’t offer the shortest distance.
Q. What increases landing distance?
An uphill slope increases the take-off ground run, and a downhill slope increases the landing ground run. For example, an upslope of 2 percent increases take-off distance by about 15 percent and a 2 percent downslope decreases it by about 10 percent.
Q. What affects takeoff distance?
The lift and the drag during takeoff depend on air speed, but the distance required for takeoff depends on the ground speed. A headwind therefore reduces the ground speed at a required takeoff air speed and reduces the takeoff distance.
Q. Where is the longest runway in the world?
Qamdo Bamda Airport
Q. What are the factors affecting takeoff and landing distance?
Influencing factors
| Influencing factor | Takeoff Distance Increase | Landing Distance Increase |
|---|---|---|
| Dry short grass (under 5″) | 20% | 20% |
| Dry long grass (5 – 10″) | 25% | 30% |
| Wet short / long grass | 25% / 30% | 30% / 40% |
| 2% uphill slope | 10% | -10% |
Q. Does the Navy have C-17?
Joint Base Charleston C-17 deploys to deliver U.S. Navy’s undersea rescue. A C-17 Globemaster III from Joint Base Charleston joined six other U.S. Air Force C-17s and three C-5M Super Galaxies deployed to Argentina on Nov. 18 to deliver the U.S. Navy’s undersea rescue capabilities to aid in the search for the A.R.A.
Q. How many seats does AC 17 have?
158
Q. Is there a toilet on a Learjet?

Q. Do helicopters have bathrooms?
The Sikorsky S‑92 helicopter offers a standard 9‑passenger interior within its spacious cabin, and can incorporate custom features including a galley, wet bar, closets, and lavatory. The S‑92 helicopter not only gives you more room to move about; it also provides more space for you and your staff.
Q. Does Cessna Citation have toilet?

Q. Does a Pilatus PC 12 have a bathroom?
The PC-12 comes equipped with a toilet, a fully integrated luggage area and a completely flat floor – unlike many other aircraft which have a recessed, tiered central aisle.
Q. How far can a Pilatus PC 12 fly?
Through clever aerodynamic refinements, it is five knots faster than its predecessor, with a top cruise speed of 290 knots (537 kilometres per hour). Maximum range has been extended to 1,765 nautical miles (3,269 kilometres).
Q. Does the PC 24 have a bathroom?
The PC-24 features a fully enclosed, externally serviceable private lavatory that is highly discreet and seamlessly integrated into the forward area of the cabin.
