Flightpath. The path of the centre of gravity of an aeroplane relative to the air. If the aeroplane is climbing steeply or gliding flatly the flightpath may be at an angle less acute than the attitude of the longitudinal axis of the machine.
The flightpath of the aircraft around the airport

The vortex ring state can be completely avoided by descending on flightpaths shallower than about 30 degrees (at any speed).

Capt did not recognize deteriorating flightpath and airspeed conditions due to preoccupation with locating strobe light on ground. Strobe light, used as visual reference during approach, inoperative; crew not advised.
The essential idea of the clearing turn is to be certain that the next maneuver is not going to proceed into another airplane's flightpath.
Command Bars - A flight director display that presents roll and pitch instructions (generally, V-shaped visual cues) to help the pilot maintain the flightpath/flight track to the selected point.
LAHSO- An acronym for "Land and Hold Short Operation." These operations include landing and holding short of an intersecting runway, a taxiway, a predetermined point, or an approach/departure flightpath.
They would also monitor the surrounding airspace for other aircraft that could pose a hazard to the flight, either by straying into their flightpath or threatening any kind of secrecy associated with that particular project.
then the bird will see it in advance and has time to move out of the way. Interesting point: birds have a problem telling in which direction a turning aircraft is moving so bird strikes seem to occur more when aircraft are changing their flightpath.
