an aircraft descends 150m from an altitude of 650m to avoid turbulence. The plane ascends 830m after the descent. at what altitude is the plane flying?
1330m
If a jet plane is flying at an altitude of 8000 meters drops 600 meters what is the new altitude?
8600
An airplane descended 150 m from an altitude of 650 and then ascended 830 m immediately at what altitude wa the airplane flying?
plane was flying at 650m
How does the pilot use the altimeter when flying the Cessna bush plane?
to measure their altitude
Which is faster between a plane flying at an altitude of 6000 feet and a plane flying at an altitude of 15000 feet if they are both using the same amount of fuel?
The higher up in the atmosphere you are, the thinner the air and therefore the less the drag on the plane. Thus if both planes' engines are under the same power (using the same amount of fuel) the plane at the higher altitude will have a faster airspeed.
Two planes are flying at the speed of sound Plane X is flying at an altitude of 6000 feet and plane Y is flying at an altitude of 15000 feet which is flying faster?
As altitude increases (to about 35,000 ft) air density, pressure and temperature all drop. As density decreases speed of sound increases, but with drop in pressure it drops; these two practically cancel each other out. As temperature drops, speed of sound drops. Thus at 15,000 ft the speed of sound is slower than at 6,000 ft so plane X is flying faster than plane Y.
Why one of the windows of a plane flying at high altitude breaks?
If a plane window breaks when the plane is flying at high altitude, all the air in the plane will instantly rush out - along with anything that isn't tied down. Watch the "getting the snakes out of the cockpit" scene in Snakes on a Plane or either of the first two Airport movies for a good cinematic demonstration of this.

When a plane is flying which 2 forces must be balanced?
When a plane is flying, lift and weight must be balanced to keep the plane level and maintain altitude. Lift is generated by the wings and opposes the force of weight, which is the gravitational force acting on the plane.
What is the distance from earth to a jet plane?
Zero, if the jet plane is on the ground, otherwise it depends at what altitude the plane happens to be flying. Cruising altitude for many passenger airliners is around five to seven miles. Military aircraft often fly at much higher altitudes.
What is the cruising altitude of a commercial plane?
There is no certain cruising altitude for a commercial airline. it depends on where they are flying and how long they fly. most airlines fly above 10,000 ft. the max altitude is around 41,000 ft.
When piloting a plane east to west should your altitude be even numbers or odd?
When flying from the east to west you should fly at an even number altitude to the nearest thousand. But when flying using Visual Flight Rules you should fly at an even altitude to the nearest thousand plus 500 feet.
