How is Flight Time Calculated?
Flight duration is calculated by dividing the Great Circle Distance (the shortest path between two points on a sphere) by the aircraft's average cruising speed.
Common Flight Speeds
- Commercial Airliner: 800-900 km/h (500-560 mph)
- Private Jet: 700-900 km/h (430-560 mph)
- Single Engine Prop: 200-250 km/h (120-155 mph)
Real vs. Estimated Time
Actual flight times vary due to:
- Wind Speeds: Tailwinds can shorten flights, headwinds lengthen them.
- Air Traffic Control: Holding patterns or routing changes.
- Taxi Time: Time spent on the runway (added in our buffer option).
