    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.

      @@GeoEstes 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.

    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.
    Also for 3:55 there are some A340s fitted with oxygen tanks so if there is a decompression, the air supply would last longer that the average 15 mins.

    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.

      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.

Ten years ago, a private pilot wanted to check what would happen if he flies over the Planalto Palace (where the president works) and he was followed by Brazilian air force planes that forced him to land and he got arrested and sued for violating federal air space.

    @cyanidegaming2599 5 років тому +3

    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.

      You seem to have not listened. They can fly over it but choose not to as, apart from Hawaii, it would be a major detour that could be avoid simply by flying over the Atlantic.

    What? Everytime I fly to and from Japan from Canada, we go over the Pacific, you'd fly even further going over Europe first. Even going from Newfoundland, it's always a stop over in Toronto or Montreal, and then to Japan going west in Canada, never east.

      Kulet Loft Flights in the fall and winter from the orient to North America fly over the Pacific Ocean to take advantage of the “roaring forties” the jet streams that help shorten the flight time by increasing ground speed. This video has so many errors it is shameful.

    We use magnetic headings to fly. But these days with modern avionics and with the help of inertial navigation system we are able to fly using true headings. As a matter of fact inertial systems measure headings based on true north and use earth variation to calculate headings based on magnetic north.
