Calculated Aviation Distances Between
Longitude And Latitude Points
This calculator requires the use of Javascript enabled and capable browsers. It is to determine the distance between two different points of longitude and latitude for aviation purposes. Select an originating point by entering the longitude and latitude associated with it. Then select a destination point and do the same thing. Any field value with no entry will be calculated as a zero (0) entry for that value. Click the Calculated Distance button and the calculated trip information will be displayed. Be aware that this calculator does not take into consideration weather, winds, magnetic deviation, altitudes or other navigation factors which may effect the course and ultimately, the distance. For a different view with additional information, try our Flight Navigation Information Calculator. For distance between airports, try our Flying Distances Between North American Airports calculator. Also, we have a GPS Longitude Latitude Distance Calculator application yielding distance and bearing information and a conversion utility to allow interchange between all three major designations. The GPS Longitude Latitude Converter is also a general source for latitude and longitude information and knowledge.
The values for the Origination are for Palm Springs, CA, our home airport, and the Destination is the Thermal airport, now known as Desert Resorts Regional, in beautiful downtown Thermal, CA. If you click on the Calculate button, you should see the "barely break ground then land" flying distance of 21.110382115272006 nautical miles, as well as other calculated distances.
