This Is Why Planes Don't Fly Over The Pacific Ocean
Anyone who has traveled to locations in the Pacific knows that there are very rarely flights that fly over the entire ocean. Rather, they choose curved routes that fly over larger bodies of land. If you are interested in becoming a flight dispatcher, you are most likely curious about the best way to plan a flight from one end of the Pacific Ocean to the other

Your entire video depicted the atlantic ocean though! Nice explanations anyhow, thanks.

Non-stop Pacific flights from Sydney and Melbourne to LA and San Francisco, for instance, by Qantas and United as well as Air New Zealand from Auckland, have been operating DAILY since the early 1980s. Originally using 747s and now also longe range 2 engined planes like the B777 as well as giant A380s etc. This is surely common knowledge? Thousands of flights have operated since then only partly suspended during the Covid pandemic.

Why do they keep showing the Atlantic ?

I don't be under-standing jet streem as from behindé it will be cawse plain to be stalléđ in Airé untt cráshéd

[@Slippindisc]

Why are you typing this way?

[@MeaHeaR]

@@Slippindisc Well they say a jetstream from the rear "pushes" the Plané Along yet wind from the Rear will Stall the wings of an Aeroplane ????

[@john9349]

It is like a boat in a flowing river. The speed of the river + the speed of the boat is how fast the boat is passing the bank. So if the plane flies at 500mph and the jetstream is 100mph, the plane is traveling 600mph over the ground. The speed of the air going over the wings is what matters regarding the stall speed. This speed is the same if you have a headwind or tailwind, the difference is the ground speed. Hope this makes sense.@@MeaHeaR
