Aircraft altitudes can vary for multiple reasons, but primarily relate to whether a flight is an arrival or departure:

• Arrivals: Aircraft remain at higher altitudes until they join the final approach, where they descend in a steady, controlled path toward the runway.
• Departures: Departing aircraft climb at steeper angles, gaining altitude quickly as they leave the airport area.
• Transit Flights: Aircraft that are not operating in or out of Dublin Airport typically fly above 10,000 feet and are not included in this data.
