Nonstop flight route between Tengah, Singapore and Novato, California, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Tengah Air Base (TAB) (TGA), Tengah, Singapore and Marin County Airport (NOT), Novato, California, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,423 miles (or 13,556 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 Tengah Air Base (TAB) and Marin County 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 Tengah Air Base (TAB) and Marin County Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• The typical Gnoss Field crosswind landing conditions on runway 31 are a stronger than reported headwind on right base and, in a typical training aircraft, a slight amount of wind shear about 100 feet before the runway 31 threshold, settling down to a steady crosswind - but then adding to a slight headwind component, just past the near west side hangars.
• In addition to being known as "Marin County Airport", other names for NOT include "Gnoss Field" and "DVO".
