Flying level does not mean flying in a perfectly straight line. You are conflating them.

You have no room to talk boy. Especially since you just dodged the point I made which smashed your stupid notion.

if a pilot is holding the plane steady and the nose is NOT dipping, then it must be traveling in a straight line.....and will eventually fly off into outer space if the land below is curved and always falling away

you can't be traveling straight and curving at the same time, it is impossible, so which one is it?
the plane is flying straight over a flat landmass below, you don't need a fricken math formula, when you can verify it with your own eyes inside the cockpit


He will be flying at the same altitude above sea level. There, is that clear? It's not literally a straight line, but at any given time he's flying straight from the point of view of a ground observer directly underneath him.

It was already explained to you quite coherently, go back to the posts just after your pic and retry.

and it's called sea level cos it's flat and water always finds its level right?

It's called sea level because the sea is by convention considered to be at 0 altitude. It's a nice reference point.

Neither. I said level, so I meant level.

Why do you even think the nozzle has to be tipping down in order to make the plane follow anything but a straight line?

Have you ever watched an airplane while it was landing?
