Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes confuse "airborne" with "on board". "Airborne" means in the air and flying, while "on board" means inside a vehicle, such as a plane or ship, whether it is moving or not. Learners may also overuse "airplane" and say *"the airplane was in the air"* instead of the more natural "the airplane was airborne" in aviation contexts.
