i get what you are saying.
i mean if you think about it, the aircrafts mass would be pulled towards earth, therefore making it sort of a parabolic/curvilinear motion question. you'd have to also factor in normal air drag (even if its still)
this oculd be over complicated to high level calculus/dynamics, however, for the sake of making it damn near impossible to solve, i guess we assume a "point particle" as the plane (as in, having in infintesimally small mass, which can then be neglected, etc)
typos are cuz im drunk and just got home from clubbin lol
