Data Recovery Glossary > Flying Height

The drive head glide over the disk surface and accesses all the data even without physically touching the platters of the disk. This is possible because they are magnetized. Flying height is the distance between the read/write head and the disk surface or platters. Flying height is also called as flying height and head gap. It is made of a cushion of air that keeps the head from connecting the hard disk.
