Are airplanes really on continiously for 51 days? Sounds pretty impressive to be honest
Typically yes. Usually for faster turn around times. When they pull into a terminal ground power is attached so they don't need to restart the computers and realign navigation systems during the day. At night when nobody is flying there really isn't a reason to go fully cold.
