    Runways are numbered according to how close they are aligned to magnetic North, not true North. Also, magnetic North is not located at the North pole, which invalidates your answer as to why they won't fly over the North pole. On routes between Canada and Northern Europe, they do fly very close to the poles. Commercial airliners are not 100% dependent on an accurate magnetic compass. Their primary compass is gyroscopic. The magnetic compass only serves as a backup should the gyroscopic compass fail, GPS fail and whatever ATC radar is available for vectors fails. They use chart software built into the Flight Management Computer (FMC) to determine what their course over ground needs to be which translates to the heading they need to follow to stay over their trackline. Whoever provided your information is wrong. Maybe check your information with a professional pilot next time? It is quite a disservice to provide inaccurate information to the public.

      @@E3ECO Redundancy is key in aviation. There was a time when ariplanes with 2 engines could not fly between US and Europe. Specifically because people thought they would have no redundancy. Also, the airspace is not 'free for all'. While Gyro and GPS work as back-up to one another, ATC vectoring exists to also facilitate safety margins between different aircraft in the sky.

    Planes do fly over the Pacific Ocean when they are heading to Hawaii, when they fly to Asia from the West Coast they head North over Alaska and head West. They fly this route to avoid the headwinds which would cause them to burn more fuel fighting the headwinds blowing from West to East.

    Santiago - Sydney is an Antartica route, performed by a 4 Engine Aircraft under a maintenance program for high reliability, Performed only during the south hemisphere summer, not for weather reasons, but for comercial reasons. Inertial and GPS signals are now the primary source of navigation, per law, a regular compass is installed on every aircraft, a special permit is given for such routes that magnetism navigation is not practical. Aircraft don’t flight over the Everest because there is no airway over it, and who doesn’t like a photo of the highest mountain. Many twin engines aircraft can’t flight routes if they don’t have an airport with in 60 minutes in-route, but if is maintain under ETOPs maintenance program, the could fly up to 120 minutes of flight to the nearest airport in-route.

    Actually there are a few passenger flights from Melbourne to Antarctica each year. They are sightseeing trips. They dont land in Antarctica just fly over it low to give great views of the ice. Because they don't land the Antarctic flights are actually classed as Australian domestic charter flights using Qantas aircraft. Either a 747 or A380 typically. Tickets for them are sold by Croydon Travel in Melbourne Australia.
    They have flights on new years eve and Valentine's day each year.

      Umont12 for example, airplanes do fly over over the South Pole just not normally. It is VERY common for planes to fly over the North Pole. The reason that planes normally don’t fly over the South Pole is a certification called ETOPS (Engines Turn Or People Swim) basically if they loose an engine, how long can the plane stay aloft on one engine. If the time that it can be aloft isn’t long enough to make it to a airport, then that is out of the certification zone.

    1:00 there’s a thing called IFR- Instrument Flight Rules. Basically, you fly mainly using instruments, so you can fly in low visibility conditions. Also, if you are at cruising altitude, there’s a very high chance you’ll fly over the windy/snowy conditions.

      @@TonyP9279 All the Asian flights from the west coast do, only the east coast ones fly over Europe and central or southern Asia. For example, Singapore Airlines flights from LAX/SFO/SEA direct to SIN and SIN via HKG/Tokyo fly over the Pacific, while SQ flights from Newark fly over Europe and South Asia. Of course US/Canadian flights to Australia and NZ also fly over the Pacific. Dallas/Houston flights fly over Mexico and then enter the Pacific Ocean for the long haul down under. Vancouver, SFO and LAX flights fly across the Pacific Ocean to Australia and ditto for Honolulu-Aus/NZ flights. Soon there will be a Chicago-Brisbane service which will also fly over the Pacific Ocean.

    The reason why planes don't really fly above Antarctica is because of the ETOPS rating for most planes are too low for it to make a landing as it's going above the Antarctic. Nearest airport from there would be somewhere down in New Zealand or Australia which is around 8-10hrs away from the center of the Antarctic. Planes that flew above it were 4 engined planes. Pan Am flight 50 is a good example, they used a 747SP to go through there.

  • @adamdavis8332
    @adamdavis8332 5 років тому +5

    I've been on flights that have taken me over the north pole Bright Side multiple times. (JFK-ICN or Seoul Incheon) Aircrafts have a setting in instruments that change the compass from Magnetic North to True North when they fly over 70 degrees North, so that they aren't subject to magnetic variation. Below 70 Degrees, they fly using magnetic heading. Above 70 degrees it is switched to use the GPS signals to see what direction the aircraft is pointed in. Two, airport runways are marked based on Magnetic Heading, not True Heading. Also, there are a couple of airports that I can name to you off the bat that have 4 runways in the same direction, but the runway numbers are different. This includes one very busy airport with the code LAX. I'll let you figure out what airport I am talking about so you can look it up. You have zero idea what you are talking about. You didn't do your research prior to publishing this, and it shows. Oh, and incidentally, for more flights that take you over the North Pole, there is Newark-Singapore, Newark to Hong Kong, NYC to just about anywhere in China. I could go on. GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT BEFORE YOU PUBLISH SOMETHING.

    I have flown direct from Sydney Australia to California. Years ago we would stop in Hawaii then continue to America. All I ever saw was water below. If it wasn't the Pacific ocean I don't know what else it could be.

    Planes actually does fly over tibet, the Chengdu airlines, and the Yunnan airlines are two airlines that have flight routes that flies over tibet. Normally on a plane that flies over the tibet, 2 pilots and 1 co-pilot will be flying the plane.

      Mountain climbers that want to climb the Himalayas will fly to Kathmandu (If I spelt it correctly) Airport, also known as one of the most dangerous airports in the world; there would be parts of the Himalayas terrain in its approach path.

      @@nacoran They most certainly DID say planes don't fly over the Pacific. Then they turned around and said "it isn't true per se, because there is a shorter route." But this is STILL WRONG. EVERY flight from the mainland US to Hawaii, and EVERY flight from much of the western US to Asia, Oceania, the Phillipines, New Zealand, etc. fly over the Pacific. This video is GROSSLY misleading on that point.
