Nonstop flight route between Dschang, Cameroon and Golubovci (near Podgorica), Montenegro:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Dschang Airport (DSC), Dschang, Cameroon and Podgorica Airport (TGD), Golubovci (near Podgorica), Montenegro would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,612 miles (or 4,203 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 Dschang Airport and Podgorica 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 Dschang Airport and Podgorica Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Dschang Airport (DSC):

• Because of Dschang Airport's high elevation of 4,619 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at DSC. Combined with a high temperature, this could make DSC a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• Dschang Airport (DSC) currently has only 1 runway.
• In addition to being known as "Dschang Airport", another name for DSC is "Dschang Airport (Dschang)".
• The closest airport to Dschang Airport (DSC) is Bafoussam Airport (BFX), which is located 21 miles (33 kilometers) ENE of DSC.
• The furthest airport from Dschang Airport (DSC) is Canton Island Airport (CIS), which is nearly antipodal to Dschang Airport (meaning Dschang Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Canton Island Airport), and is located 12,215 miles (19,658 kilometers) away in Canton Island, Kiribati.

• Standard runway 36 approach includes spectacular 200° low level steep turn over Lake Skadar to align with the runway, only 524 metres above the water surface.
• Because of Podgorica Airport's relatively low elevation of 141 feet, planes can take off or land at Podgorica 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.
