Did you also learn that planes have to constantly nose down to take in account of this "arc"?
Not that I can recall, but it's been almost a decade since Combat Control Apprentice Course (ATC). I always thought the micro bursts were crazy. Also, long range shooting and surveying takes into account the curvature of the earth.

No, they do not. Pilots adjust elevator trim, they don't sit there and constantly hold the nose down.
Flat Earthers.. smh
Well you wouldn't, because space is curved. Flying at a constant altitude means flying on a curved path. It's about the reference frame, after all.
Does the moon constantly have to 'nose down' to orbit the earth?
You seem confused and accidentally down voted facts. I'm posting the comment again so you can properly provide an up vote which indicates you are interested in facts and truth. Clearly you learned something and that's good, right?
A down vote here clearly communicates you are dishonest and hate facts and truth. My linked comment also has links to indepsputible facts. Perhaps seeing facts for the first time are what confused you?

This is to which I previously referenced and you declined to challenge me. But that's okay as I already answered it for someone else.

Another flat earth talking point completely destroyed.
Next.
Other factors play into it more. Slight thrust adjustment can change it more, lift, attitude, altitude...
Thrust isn't normally adjusted for this. Aircraft have trim which is adjusted. Autopilots frequently adjust trim but some directly adjust control surfaces. In either case, pilots adjust trim for a variety of reasons. Most commonly is altitude tweak and fuel burn.
As fuel burns the weight is reduced. This frequently changes center of gravity. Which changes angle of attack. Tweaking with trim changes angle of attack which reduces drag. In turn improving speed.
I was intentionally using something not normally done for the purpose of control to show it has an affect on control.
