Do they need to refuel or can one tank of gas get them from USA to NZ?

You gave the flight paths. In any case, the NY to NZ flight is non-stop.

The transAtlantic route.

Once you leave the Irish coast, there’s Iceland and Greenland to divert to, before reaching Nova Scotia.

Correct me if l’m wrong.

Greenland and the northern part of Canada. But Iceland is the other direction. If you are flying over Iceland on your way to America, you had better fire your navigator fast.

So, can you explain the interchange of aircraft between NZ and the Americas?

 

[okfine]

I'm finding it hard to work out how aircraft fly to NZ from the Americas then. Anyone got an explanation?

But it can't cross the Pacific because it will have no options, remember?

But no matter. Only someone as ignorant and gullible as The Bat would post such a bullshit OP anyway.

This has nothing to do with it. We are talking about the route not the interchange of aircraft. This does bring up an old joke, "How long can YOU tread water".

Why make this upstairs thread personal?

I started this topic to explore the options of emergency landings over the vast Pacific, should there be some kind of serious emergency. And the airlines and flight crews being prepared for this.

But you just had to turn it into something about New Zealand, and me.

Usually is about me, as far as you’re concerned, for some obscure and unknown reason; 20 years of it.

Sure. How come the route is over the Pacific when they have no options?

With an absolute bullshit c&p that has no relation to reality and screams smug ignorance.

If you can’t control yourself, take it downstairs, where all the ugliness, personal insults, and vendettas hang out. Instead of coming up here to ruin an interesting and informative thread.

It's not direct. It's a curve where they can divert to land if they have to.

I know a route from Sydney to Honolulu, that pauses in Fiji.

The thread is neither interesting nor informative, consisting as it does of arrant bullshit. "Aircraft don't fly over the Pacific."

Oh. You mean aircraft don't fly over the Pacific?

Is that over the Pacific?

So even before you posted it you knew your c&p was bullshit.
