"A repülőgép felszáll a földről."

Translation: The airplane takes off from the ground.

It seems to me that "takes off from the ground" is a more literal translation from Hungarian to English, and sounds better in English too. Comments anyone?

Yes, "takes off the ground" is wrong, and your version is good.

[Claire64000]

I agree!

"The airplane flies up from the ground." why not correct?

I got marked wrong for the exact same translation, but then another sentence in the same exercise translates "A legyek és a méhek felszállnak a fűről" to "The flies and the bees fly up from the grass." Felszáll in both cases, but inconsistent English translation. I reported this question, hopefully it will get fixed.

I think this is the first sentence that uses a real world scenario for flight.
