Answer the question turbo, why is the most accurate way to map the distances and relative positions of points / places on the earth is by a spherical globe.
One irrefutable fact, demonstrable and a practical way to show the earth is spherical.
Two paragraphs that destroyed your manifesto of lies and BS.

Why are the same properties not inherent to Jupiter? So Jupiter is a normal planet the proves the heliocentric model?
Another paragraph that destroyed you little rants. What about Mars. Mercury?
And all have no bearing on the shape of the earth.

They all prove them liars, and that INCLUDES lying about Earth being a ball, because all those lies are based on the ball Earth lie. Not just about Saturn, about everything else, too. Lying about Saturn is just one of many more lies, yet to be revealed.
They've lied about stars being trillions of miles away,
appearing as tiny points of light through magnification,
because they all look, and move differently from the other stars.
They've lied about stars, and Saturn, and everything else, too.
We measure for the flat Earth, NOT a ball Earth, ever. No magical 'forces' are used to support the flat Earth, only the absurd ball Earth needs magical 'forces', and tricks, and deception.

At least, think about how all stars look and move differently, and how it is impossible to do this, by an effect of atmosphere, or by an 'out of focus' camera, because those are their excuses for it, and they're completely absurd, and ridiculous.
The stars all look and move differently, because that's how they really DO look and move, all differently, all so amazing, and beautiful.
When you accept that is what makes them all different, you're on the right path, to see all of God's creation, no longer hidden in lies and deception.
The stars just move like a liquid in the center
The moving around is normal. It is due to atmospheric turbulence, which happens all the time. Unless you're in a vacuum, the images will always shimmer a little. Sometimes they will shimmer a lot. Other times not so much.
One night I noticed a star changing colors and moving perceptibly. But through binoculars, a few dimmer stars in the same field appeared steady. The behavior continued throughout the night, but not a couple of nights later. Why?
You’re absolutely right that stars twinkle — and sometimes appear to move around — due to our atmosphere “scrambling” their light as it travels from the top of Earth’s atmosphere to the ground. This phenomenon, also called scintillation, tends to occur more obviously in bright stars.
When observed with telescopes, why do some planets and stars appear to look more like "living cells" under a microscope?
...The movement is caused by light from a point source passing through moving variations in air temperature and density; the resultant slight variation in refractive index distorts and displaces the image. The amount of movement indicates very poor seeing; possibly because the star is close to the horizon. The polygonal (pentagonal?) shape is from the camera’s diaphragm. The bright streaks are diffraction artifacts, distorted by both the unsteady air and optical aberrations in the camera lens. The image also appears to be out of focus. Many people, not understanding the point nature of a star image, think the defocused image is correct because it’s bigger. The flashing colors are often seen in bright stars low in the sky; because you are looking through a lot more air close to the horizon, the refraction, including prismatic effects, is much stronger than when observing high in the sky.
In short, the apparent form of a star depends entirely on the air and optics that it is being viewed through. Planets will show a clean disk if properly focused, but here again, some optically naive YouTubers marvel over their defocused images and think they have discovered the secret knowledge.

Flat Earth Insanity
Flat Earth Follies: Planes would have to constantly pitch down to fly!
Conclusion
I think that about wraps it up for this Flat Earth Folly.
Planes are not 'dropping' 8 inches every mile (per se), they are flying along the constant curvature of the gravity equipotential, while constantly adjusting pitch ever-so-slightly by means of the elevator trim setting which controls the pitch RATE of the airplane. ANY deviation from that rotation results in the plane climbing or descending which immediately shows up in the Vertical Speed indication and power settings would be adjusted accordingly. This constantly rotates their 'tangent' so there is no 8" to drop at the end of each mile, it's a constant, smooth, and VERY SLIGHT curve that presents no problems for pilots, and would be virtually undetectable in the face of other forces acting on the airplane, even at 500 mph. The plane is simply tweaked for near zero vertical speed and that's all that is required.
The Attitude Indicator is very clearly compensating for all kinds of precessional forces acting up on it and to remain accurate over the longer term must be tied to the gravity potential as well (so it remains vertically aligned over time, reacting only to sharper movements of the airplane over the short term).

Nothing is "stupid" about it, except claiming that it's all caused by 'out of focus' cameras and/or an 'effect of atmosphere', of course!
Again, I've asked you to prove this can happen by those ridiculous excuses, which you cannot prove, because it's nonsense. By YOUR argument, all stars look like tiny points of light, so any 'effect of atmosphere', or 'out of focus camera', should make all stars look the same, but they're all completely different, in movement, and shape, which proves it is NOT caused by 'effect' or 'out of focus camera'!
Stars are very close to Earth, and are small, energized sources of light and movement and color, EACH one unique from all the other stars, and THAT is exactly what we see, through magnification. It's not caused by millions of different magical 'effects of atmosphere', nor from millions of 'out of focus cameras', either!
You cannot POSSIBLY see differences in all stars, if they were actually 'trillions of miles away',
so you make up nonsense excuses for it,
instead of facing the truth, which is that stars are CLOSE to Earth, NOT 'trillions of miles away', which is why we can SEE each one is so unique, in movement, shape, and color. It's impossible for us to see all this, if they're all just tiny points of light.
That's the lie, and to know it's a lie, by seeing all stars are unique, in every way, cannot be denied as an 'effect', or 'out of focus camera', simply because it's impossible to make millions of stars look and move differently, from 'effect' or 'out of focus camera'!

Answer the questions turbo…
Now. If a pilot is flaying to a specific altitude as read by altimeter by reading pressure, and leaves power and flight controls alone except for battling turbulence, why would the aircraft change altitude?
If the earth was flat like your delusion, why is the most accurate representation of the earth and distances and relative positions between points on the earth a globe?

"....they are flying along the constant curvature of the gravity equipotential"
It's all BS. Make up a non-existent, magical 'force', called 'gravity', to solve all problems, because it doesn't exist in the FIRST place! It's easy to make up something that doesn't exist, claim it DOES exist, without a shred of PROOF it exists, and then, claim it has super-powers, to make instruments on planes measure 'level', as not really 'level' at all, but to a 'curve' as 'level' instead, because you claim that it does!
There is NO PROOF that 'gravity' even EXISTS, but why not claim it DOES exist, has magical powers, to make our instruments measure a 'curve', 50,000 feet below it, and read as 'level', to this 'curve' 50,000 feet below it, on the surface of Earth, within it, as a ball, with a core at it's center, where the magical non-existent 'force' called 'gravity', shoots through the ball, into air, where planes fly, and causes their instruments to read 'level' flight, to 'curvature' of Earth, at 60,000 feet below!!!
'Gravity' doesn't exist, nothing PROVES it exists, nothing HAS proven it exists, in fact.
They made up a magical, non-existent 'force', within all objects, all things, Earth and moon included, to attract other objects towards it, if smaller mass to it, or to be attracted to other objects, larger in mass.
All of the objects on Earth, are attracted to Earth, being smaller in mass than Earth is.
They cannot claim Earth is a ball, without making up a 'holding down to the ball' force, to 'explain' how come everything doesn't fly off into 'space', from that ball!
A 'holding down force', surely must 'exist' within Earth, or everything ON Earth, would 'fly off into space', right?
'Space' is the area 'all around the ball Earth', and it's endless, without this 'holding down force', or very, very 'little' of it, compared to Earth, for example!
Your side doesn't have actual evidence that objects are attracted to other objects, by some sort of 'force', other than real, proven forces, like magnetic force, which DOES exist.
Now, how would magnetic force be true, proven to exist, CAN be proven to exist, at any time, BUT NOT YOUR 'FORCE', that makes ALL objects 'attract' to other objects, with greater mass, for your magical force is based on the MASS of objects, and applies to ALL objects!
Every object has mass, and 'gravitational force', within it, and 'attracts' other objects, and IS 'attracted' to other objects, based on their MASS, and Earth is so massive, compared to most things, it holds us down, pulls us down from above it, which is why all of us are ON the Earth, instead of 'floating' around in 'space', which has little 'gravity'.
So when they decided to first 'show their heroic astronauts', who they said went into 'space', which is the blue area that turns into black at night, without the sun's light, and they lie about it, as being 'endless space', with 'distant stars', their favorite illusion, of all time! It worked so well, and sadly, it still works today.
Where we 'float', is in 'space', where we never go, and never will go, it's made up, this place where we 'float' around, is NONSENSE, and does NOT exist, in the real world, in reality, it's all made up, and told as real, genuine, there's never been proof, or any way to confirm their claims, it's all BS.
So do you, or anyone at all, really, honestly believe it's for our 'safety', and 'to protect us', like they claim? They've proven it's all BS, letting all of us go to the most dangerous area of all, the launch sites, so their excuse is a complete joke!
There's never been restricted areas around commercial airports, or other areas of lethal hazards, like the launch sites, or many others, like we all know about.
It's far more hazardous to cross a Manhattan street than to see rockets drop debris at 15,000 feet above the Atlantic Ocean, from a boat, even if it was directly below it, from such altitudes flown at the time, whatever it is, any debris is far above the ocean, and would easily be avoided, anyway.
They specifically made their rockets with external engines, or 'boosters', to quickly 'drop' off over the ocean, only a few minutes after launching, to leave them with much smaller engines, containing far less fuel, supposedly for flights into 'space', and 'orbits' of Earth, and later on, to 'return' to Earth again, several days later on!
As if.
They simply made all their rockets WITH 'booster engines', to have them 'drop' over the ocean, a few minutes after launch, which gave them an 'excuse', to 'restrict' those massive areas of the ocean, for our 'safety' from the falling debris!
It's still a ridiculous excuse, but that's the best they could come up with, to prevent us from seeing them crash into the Atlantic, minutes after launch, and that's what REALLY happens to rockets, all the time, and they'll never let us see it, every lie depends on keeping it a secret.
Unless you believe it's for our 'safety. If so, then you'll believe anything they say.

Everyone who requires accurate measurements of Earth's surface, which include all surveyors of real projects on Earth. They could not make up excuses about why our surveyors always assume surfaces are flat, because everything else is based on it being flat, and to have flat surfaces, for their projects.
Every pilot uses his instruments for level flight, altitude settings, and so on, as accurate, correct measurements on flights. Level flight means it is flat, and straight across, same as surveyors who always assume surfaces are flat, means level, and straight across. It doesn't mean 'flat/level to the Earth's curvature', or some 'equipotential of gravity' BS, either!
Measuring level flight, is equal air pressure around the plane in flight, which is confirmed by steady altitude readings while it indicates level flight, or the other way around, with steady altitude readings, confirmed as level by their other instrument(s), at the same time.
Nothing measures any sort of 'curve', or any 'curvature', and trying to claim a ball Earth map is 'the most accurate representation of Earth and their relative distances or positions on Earth.... is absolute nonsense.
Every measurement uses the FLAT Earth, and FLAT surfaces on Earth, and NONE use a 'curve', or a ball Earth, to measure anything at all.
Have you ever known any instruments we use, that measure 'curvature' at all? Anything that indicates a rate of 'curve', over some sort of distance? What instrument exists, which would measure a 'curvature', over a half-mile length, or a two mile length, etc?
What you have here, is a made up claim, of Earth being a ball. That requires a curved surface, which means it's MEASURABLE by instruments, as a real 'curve', with an actual RATE of curvature, what instrument(s) were used to measure this 'rate of curvature', what did it measure, can it measure any distance, or only short distances, of a mile, or two miles, or 500 feet or yards at one time, etc.
If you really believe Earth is a ball, you require ACTUAL measurements for it's 'curvature'. But there aren't any such instruments, to measure your 'curvature' claims, are there?
If you believe that the Earth is a ball, would we actually have nothing that MEASURES it, as a ball?
When we have NO Instruments that can measure 'curvature', while ALL of our instruments measure it as a FLAT surface, what would that suggest to you, is the ACTUAL surface of Earth? It's more than a suggestion, it is PROOF of the Earth's surface as flat, and nothing else BUT a flat surface.
