Aeroplane

Aeroplanes (or airplanes) were a form of transport that travelled in the air. Whilst in flight, passengers were cared for by air stewardesses. (TV: Logopolis)

The Fifth Doctor "expected" to be able to fly a plane, and would have managed to do so properly had the Daleks not attacked the craft. (AUDIO: Fugitives) The Eleventh Doctor was due for a lesson in flying a bi-plane in 1911. However, it may have in fact been a knitting lesson. (TV: The Impossible Astronaut) Despite this, he couldn't fly a plane at all. (TV: The Bells of Saint John)

According to Petronella Osgood, the odds of dying in a plane crash were 1 in 11,000,000. (AUDIO: Tidal Wave)

Paper could be folded into a shape resembling a plane, producing an aerodynamic paper plane capable of short but accurate flight when thrown. (PROSE: The Wrong Hands)

In 2013, Rosemary Kizlet, who had control of all of humanity through the Wi-Fi, made everyone on an aeroplane, including the pilot, fall asleep, and the plane came crashing down towards George Maitland's house. Using the TARDIS, the Eleventh Doctor and Clara Oswald entered the plane and changed its course to prevent a crash. Everyone on the airplane woke up when the Doctor disabled the plane's Wi-Fi. (TV: The Bells of Saint John)

Missy froze all the Earth's planes, totaling 4,165 at the time, in the world to get Clara's attention. She later released them. (TV: The Magician's Apprentice)

In a dream future created by the Kantrofarri, Clara learned to fly a plane. (TV: Last Christmas)
