    The detour ratio is based on great-circle distances between segments and the origin and destination. It compares route structure only and does not represent an actual flight path or flown distance. Airport information and coordinates are for geographic display and distance calculation only, not navigation, flight planning or operational decisions.

    Frequently asked questions

    How is the AKL–SCL detour ratio calculated?

    The tool adds the adjacent great-circle segments to 5212 nautical miles and compares that total with the 5212 nautical-mile direct distance from AKL to SCL. This route's detour ratio is 0.0%.

    Is the AKL–SCL distance the flown mileage?

    No. It is a spherical great-circle comparison from Auckland to Santiago, not an actual airway, flight path, flight time or operational mileage. Weather, airspace and routing can change the flown distance.

    Why review the AKL–SCL segment details?

    This route contains 1 segment. The list shows where extra distance is introduced and confirms that the total is built from every adjacent airport pair.
