Nonstop flight route between Battle Mountain, Nevada, United States and Ine, Arno Atoll, Marshall Islands:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Battle Mountain Airport (BAM), Battle Mountain, Nevada, United States and Ine Airport (IMI), Ine, Arno Atoll, Marshall Islands would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,942 miles (or 7,953 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 large distance between Battle Mountain Airport and Ine Airport, the route shown on this map most likely appears curved because of this reason.

Try it at home! Get a globe and tightly lay a string between Battle Mountain Airport and Ine Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• Because of Battle Mountain Airport's high elevation of 4,532 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at BAM. Combined with a high temperature, this could make BAM a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• Battle Mountain Airport (BAM) has 2 runways.
• BAM is home to the Battle Mountain Air Attack Base which is run by the Bureau of Land Management.
• The airstrip at Battle Mountain was used as a setting by novelist Dale Brown in his techno-thriller novel Battle Born.
