That depends on the angle of elevation
If the reference point and an object are both on the horizon then the angular distance to the object, relative to the reference point is simply the angle formed between the two rays from the observer to object and to the reference point. If either the object or reference point (or both) are not in the plane of the horizon then the appropriate rays are the projections of the rays from the observer onto the plane containing the horizon.
Aircraft fly in the direction of their destination regardless which way around the world that may be. That's a trick question. To an observer standing at the North Pole, a plane flying east to west is going clockwise. To an observer standing at the South Pole, a plane flying west to east is going clockwise. And, of course, some planes fly over the poles. But if you only consider planes that are flying east/west, they are going both clockwise and counterclockwise, depending on which direction you are viewing them from.
because they are parallel to the plane of the horizon
The answer depends on how fast the plane is flying.
linear motion

This is an ambiguous question. There are too many variables: pitch angle, fuel level, rate of descend/climb, trim, airspeed of plane, wind direction and speed....... ----------------------- That's a trig question (it's not ambiguous:RTFQ) Do your own homework ! -----------------------
The zenith is the direction directly above the observer. The astronomical horizon is the plane that is perpendicular to that direction, i.e. horizontal. The "true horizon", however, is the cone from the observer to the point on the earth, below which you can not "see over", so it is a small amount lower in angle. In practice, the two horizons can be considered to be the same, because the height of the observer is often small in comparision to the diameter of the earth, unless the observer is standing on a tall point, such as a mountain.
Zero. I am currently sitting in my chair in my room. If the plane is my chair and my room is the reference plane as long as I don't move my chair around the room it has no kinetic energy. Now if I expand my reference plane to an observer on the sun (I know) they are going to see me and my chair hauling butt at about 30km/s around the solar system along with my room my house and the rest of the planet this velocity and my mass mean there is kinetic energy.

You can see the horizon from any altitude on a plane. The horizon is the line where the sky meets the earth or sea, and it appears at eye level regardless of how high up you are.
Flying in a plane has always been open to the public.
The horizon runs horizontal. Perpendicular to that is VERTICAL.
There is not a map for flying on the plane
No plane has trouble flying in the rain.Only the smallest like cessna may have trouble flying in the rain.
The height of the plane is quite insignificant, compared to the altitude at which it flies. In old times, the altitude couldn't be measured with such precision. Nowadays, with GPS, it might refer to wherever the GPS device is located - but it doesn't really make much difference.
