But a hovercraft is intended to be used for flight in the air, only

Does anyone know the official definition of "flight"?

...But they do not operate out of Ground Effect which has already been
offered as a way to define it. Don't know that you'll get any better
than that, but I think its a pretty good one.

About 20 years ago I took the hovercraft from Dover to Calais. I remember
that the ticket had a time and flight number. The channel was very choppy
that day (from memory, the swells were over 6 meters high) and the "flight"
was almost cancelled. It is the only time I came close to having a flight
cancelled due to high seas!
