Flight Path

A flight path is the route an aircraft follows from its starting point to its destination. It includes the specific airways, waypoints, altitude levels, and turns planned in advance to ensure safe, efficient, and predictable travel through the airspace. Engineers and pilots use navigation systems and air traffic control instructions to adhere to this planned route, optimizing fuel use and avoiding obstacles or other aircraft. Essentially, it’s the airplane's predetermined journey through the skies, designed to ensure a smooth and safe flight from takeoff to landing.
