About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Marin County Airport (NOT), Novato, California, United States and Roxas Airport (RXS), Roxas City, Capiz, Philippines would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,006 miles (or 11,275 kilometers).
A Great Circle is the shortest distance between 2 points on a sphere. Because most world maps are flat (but the Earth is round), the route of the shortest distance between 2 points on the Earth will often appear curved when viewed on a flat map, especially for long distances. If you were to simply draw a straight line on a flat map and measure a very long distance, it would likely be much further than if you were to lay a string between those two points on a globe. Because of the large distance between Marin County Airport and Roxas Airport, the route shown on this map most likely appears curved because of this reason.
Try it at home! Get a globe and tightly lay a string between Marin County Airport and Roxas Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- There is a plan to extend the length of Gnoss' runway by 1100', to 4400'.
- Marin County Airport or Gnoss Field, formerly O56, is a public airport two miles northeast of Novato.

This is because the air density is higher closer to sea level than it would otherwise be at higher elevations.
- The typical Gnoss Field crosswind landing conditions on runway 31 are a stronger than reported headwind on right base and, in a typical training aircraft, a slight amount of wind shear about 100 feet before the runway 31 threshold, settling down to a steady crosswind - but then adding to a slight headwind component, just past the near west side hangars.
- The closest airport to Marin County Airport (NOT) is Napa County Airport (APC), which is located only 16 miles (25 kilometers) ENE of NOT.
