About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Clermont Airport (CMQ), Clermont, Queensland, Australia and Los Alamos Airport (LAM), Los Alamos, New Mexico, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,996 miles (or 12,869 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 Clermont Airport and Los Alamos 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 Clermont Airport and Los Alamos Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- The furthest airport from Clermont Airport (CMQ) is Agostinho Neto Airport (NTO), which is located 11,827 miles (19,034 kilometers) away in Ponta do Sol, Santo Antão, Cape Verde.
- Because of Clermont Airport's relatively low elevation of 908 feet, planes can take off or land at Clermont 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 closest airport to Clermont Airport (CMQ) is Dysart Airport (DYA), which is located 49 miles (78 kilometers) ENE of CMQ.
Facts about Los Alamos Airport (LAM):

- Because of Los Alamos Airport's high elevation of 7,171 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at LAM. Combined with a high temperature, this could make LAM a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- Because of the restricted airspace immediately to the south of the runway, and the noise-sensitive residential area just west of the runway, Los Alamos Airport employs a non-standard traffic pattern.
- Los Alamos Airport (LAM) currently has only 1 runway.
