A flight path is the route that an aircraft follows while flying from one location to another. It is determined by various factors, including air traffic control regulations, weather conditions, and the aircraft's performance capabilities. Flight paths are designed to ensure safety and efficiency, allowing planes to avoid obstacles and other air traffic. Flight paths can vary in altitude and direction, depending on the specific journey. They are often represented on maps and can change during a flight due to air traffic management or unexpected weather. Pilots and air traffic controllers work together to monitor and adjust these paths as needed for safe travel.
