Content: Challenges of an aircraft flying too close to the ground
As you already know, aircraft fly very high in the sky. Commercial jets, for instance, fly in the range of 35,000-40,000 feet above the ground. Military aircraft fly at different altitudes, depending on their operational requirements. This is to say that most aircraft fly at quite a high altitude, and there are a few reasons behind that. First, flying too close to the ground poses the obvious danger of ramming into or striking objects on the ground, such as tall buildings, towers or even trees. You also can’t look very far ahead, since your field of vision would be blocked by stuff on the ground. Too much hindrance in front of the airplane
There are countless technical reasons as well, such as high air density, poor radio reception, chances of engine inefficiency and so on. However, there are moments in every flight that occurs anywhere in the world, when you have to fly too close to the ground – the crucial minutes of takeoff and landing. Take off and landing are, for obvious reasons, the two most critical parts of a flight. ( Photo Credit :
