The distance is not the problem, the problem is that the planes that JFK and Athens International Airport are separated by almost 97 degrees, yet they are parallel to each other.

This can not happen is a spherical earth of the size we are told.

Either the Earth is not a sphere or the sphere is much larger than we are told....

I stand corrected, it is not 50 degrees but around 97 degrees difference, since one is West and the other is East, thus you add the two numbers.

John F. Kennedy International Airport (40.6446° N, 73.7797° W)
Athens International Airport “Eleftherios Venizelos” (37.9362° N, 23.9480° E).

73.7797° W + 23.9480° E = 73.7797 +  23.9480 = 96.7 Degrees

John F. Kennedy International Airport is at an altitude of something like 13 feet above sea level.

Athens International Airport "Eleftherios Venizelos" Is like 300 feet above sea level.

They are at different altitudes by almost 300 feet? 

Note.  Added.
And an aircraft would fly over the Pyrenees mountains on the border of France and Spain?


Not sure how the earth is “level” in the context of the opening post?

I have stated that I made a mistake in using the word "level," but parallel planes are the terminology to use.

Both airports lie in parallel planes, which means that either the Earth is flat or it is only a small section of a large sphere. The height above sea level is irrelevant.

What about the two tangent lines between the two airports, will they intersect or are they parallel to each other???

See the below two images...

I can fly above a sphere at a constant altitude and “not” interest the sphere.

What about the two tangent lines between the two airports, will they intersect or are they parallel to each other???

I can travel a parallel curved path to a parallel sphere.

You lack the basic geometric understanding. Two lines are parallel to each other if and only if they never intersect each other, regardless of how far they are extended on either side. This is not the case on a sphere unless the two points are relatively close to each other...

How does the instrument “know” or detect this?

When the plane is on the ground, they have a vacuum pump that spins a gyroscope. The gyroscope has locked the plane that is parallel to the ground. Everything from that point is relative to a parallel plane to the takeoff airport. The video below might help:



The artificial horizon is irrelevant to what I am saying. I am looking at only the start and finish position of the gyroscope, nothing in between since the pilot does not touch the gyroscope while on flight.

Attitude indicators have mechanisms that keep the instrument level with respect to the direction of gravity…. The vacuum powered instruments that uses gravity?

No, gyroscopes are independent of gravity; they work on centripetal forces. It is basic physics.

Maybe this video can help to understand tangent lines and a sphere.

I stand corrected; leveled is not the correct word, but PARALLEL TO THE GROUND.

No, the attitude indicator is spun up, and the self-erecting mechanism makes it upright.
As it flies, and the local direction of down changes, it corrects for that.

When the attitude indicator is spun up, the gyroscopes has the airplane PARALLEL TO THE GROUND of the airport, say JFK Airport. When it lands to the new airport, say Athens International Airport, it is again PARALLEL TO THE GROUND, thus the two airports are PARALLEL, even thought their should be a 50 degree difference. This could not happen on a spherical body, unless the distance between the two airports is very small.

You have a choice, either the two airports are very close to each other on a very large sphere, or the Earth is Flat. I personally believe that the two points are very close to each other on a very large sphere.

What is your problem, if the Earth is a sphere, but on a much larger sphere than they have told us?

Or the third option, that Earth is round, and you are simply misunderstanding things.

Even a flat dinner plate is round, that does not make it a sphere…

The attitude indicator is leveled before the airplane takes off.

The instrument shows the level with respect to the airport it took off and when it lands, it is also leveled, thus both airports are leveled.

End of Game!!!

The two airports are leveled.

I remember that some University students measured the state of Kansas a few years ago and found it to be leveled.

We have two options, either the Earth is flat, or we are on a very small section of a huge sphere, which gives the reading of a Flat Earth. Either way, the truth is hidden from us.

Has anybody looked into the possibility that the section we call Earth is only a tiny section of a spherical planet? If this is the case, then we are in a relatively flat section of a giant planet, say, the size of Jupiter. If this is the case, we have a vast part of the planet that is unexplored, and the government is hiding it from us.

We know that the section of the planet called Earth is flat since the airplane’s attitude indicator shows the aircraft’s relative position to the horizon, showing that any two airports are leveled. In the 1930s, they developed a vacuum pump to spin the gyroscopes of the attitude indicator and showed that the airplane was level with the ground relative to the airport where they took off. The pilots use it to see if the plane is climbing, banking, or descending, and when the airplane lands, it shows that the level is the same in both the airport where they take off and land. It is the case from John F. Kennedy International Airport (40.6446° N, 73.7797° W) to Athens International Airport “Eleftherios Venizelos” (37.9362° N, 23.9480° E). The two airports are level even though there should be an almost 50-degree difference; thus, the Earth is level. It does not matter if the pilot has a downward, upward, or level flight; the only thing that matters is that the two airports are at the same level.

I am interested in obtaining a high quality Flat Earth map in an electronic form with Latitude and longitude. Is their any thing available, and where?
