Where are the planes in San Diego?
LINDBERGH FIELD | KSAN | SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA San Diego International Airport has one of my favorite spots to watch both the airport and the airplanes. Due to the way the airport is situated in the city, the airplanes come so low over your head that you fell like you can reach out and touch them.

Can pilots text while flying?
Controllers and pilots aren’t using their cellphones to text, even though many passengers now do using apps and in-flight Wi-Fi. Instead, planes with modern cockpit systems can log on to new systems at air-traffic control centers and link digitally.
Can pilots go on their phones?
A pilot may not use his or her phone for non-flight related tasks during takeoff, landing, or while flying under 10,000. Upon reaching cruising altitude the pilot is free to use their phone at their own discretion. This is, however, the FAA policy so for commercial pilots it may vary company to company.
Do planes fly above clouds?
One reason that planes cruise above the clouds is so they can fly fast. The higher airplanes climb, the thinner the air gets, and the more efficiently they can fly because of less resistance in the atmosphere, according to Ryan Jorgenson, an aviation data analyst.
Do pilots use binoculars?
The vast majority of binoculars won’t cut it because pilots have very different needs to bird watchers, hunters, and even plane spotters from the ground. A good pair of binoculars for use in the cockpit needs to produce a stable image and a wide field of view. If not, they won’t be of much use.
