Nonstop flight route between Mbarara, Uganda and Camden, New South Wales, Australia:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Mbarara Airport (MBQ), Mbarara, Uganda and Camden Aerodrome (CDU), Camden, New South Wales, Australia would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,891 miles (or 12,699 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 Mbarara Airport and Camden Aerodrome, 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 Mbarara Airport and Camden Aerodrome. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Mbarara Airport (MBQ):

• Because of Mbarara Airport's high elevation of 4,600 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at MBQ. Combined with a high temperature, this could make MBQ a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• The closest airport to Mbarara Airport (MBQ) is Kasese Airport (KSE), which is located 62 miles (100 kilometers) NNW of MBQ.
• Mbarara Airport (MBQ) currently has only 1 runway.

Facts about Camden Aerodrome (CDU):

• The FAC was wound down in 1998 and Camden was transferred along with Bankstown, the former Hoxton Park Airport and Kingsford Smith Airport to Sydney Airports Corporation Limited, but at this stage was still a government controlled enterprise.
• In 1946, ownership of the airport was transferred to the Department of Civil Aviation who oversaw the development of further civil aviation infrastructure on the site including the sealing of runway 06/24.
• Because of Camden Aerodrome's relatively low elevation of 230 feet, planes can take off or land at Camden Aerodrome 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.
• In 2003, it was controversially sold by the Australian government to a private company, along with Bankstown and Hoxton Park.
• Camden Aerodrome (CDU) has 2 runways.
