About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Bembridge Airport (BBP), Bembridge, Isle of Wight, United Kingdom and Clovis Municipal Airport (CVN), Clovis, New Mexico, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,892 miles (or 7,872 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 Bembridge Airport and Clovis Municipal 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 Bembridge Airport and Clovis Municipal Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Bembridge Airport (BBP):
- Bembridge Aerodrome no longer has a CAA Ordinary Licence that allows flights for the public transport of passengers or for flying instruction as authorised by the licensee.
- Because of Bembridge Airport's relatively low elevation of 53 feet, planes can take off or land at Bembridge Airport 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 furthest airport from Bembridge Airport (BBP) is Dunedin International Airport (DUD), which is located 11,920 miles (19,184 kilometers) away in Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand.
- There is also a Gliding Club operating from the south side.
- Bembridge Airport (BBP) currently has only 1 runway.
- Bembridge Airport is an unlicensed aerodrome located 2.3 NM northeast of Sandown, Isle of Wight, England.
- The closest airport to Bembridge Airport (BBP) is Chichester/Goodwood Airport (QUG), which is located only 20 miles (32 kilometers) NE of BBP.

- Clovis Municipal Airport (CVN) has 3 runways.
- The furthest airport from Clovis Municipal Airport (CVN) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 11,127 miles (17,907 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.
- The closest airport to Clovis Municipal Airport (CVN) is Cannon Air Force Base Clovis Air Force Base/AAF (CVS), which is located only 14 miles (23 kilometers) WSW of CVN.
- Because of Clovis Municipal Airport's high elevation of 4,216 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at CVN. Combined with a high temperature, this could make CVN a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
