About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Dabra Airport (DRH), Dabra, Indonesia and Paya Lebar Air Base (PLAB) (QPG), Paya Lebar, Singapore would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,394 miles (or 3,853 kilometers).
A Great Circle is the shortest distance between 2 points on a sphere. Because most world maps are flat (but the Earth is round), the route of the shortest distance between 2 points on the Earth will often appear curved when viewed on a flat map, especially for long distances. If you were to simply draw a straight line on a flat map and measure a very long distance, it would likely be much further than if you were to lay a string between those two points on a globe. Because of the relatively short distance between Dabra Airport and Paya Lebar Air Base (PLAB), the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

- Because of Paya Lebar Air Base (PLAB)'s relatively low elevation of 65 feet, planes can take off or land at Paya Lebar Air Base (PLAB) at a lower air speed than at airports located at a higher elevation. This is because the air density is higher closer to sea level than it would otherwise be at higher elevations.
- The air base currently houses aircraft such as the C-130 Hercules and the upgraded AMRAAM capable F-5S/T Tiger IIs.
