About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Tonopah Airport (TPH), Tonopah, Nevada, United States and Nanortalik Heliport (JNN), Nanortalik, Greenland would travel a Great Circle distance of 3,382 miles (or 5,443 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 Tonopah Airport and Nanortalik Heliport, 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 Tonopah Airport and Nanortalik Heliport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Because of Tonopah Airport's high elevation of 5,430 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at TPH. Combined with a high temperature, this could make TPH a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The furthest airport from Tonopah Airport (TPH) is Pierrefonds Airport (ZSE), which is located 11,197 miles (18,020 kilometers) away in Saint-Pierre, Réunion.

This is because the air density is higher closer to sea level than it would otherwise be at higher elevations.
