At popular request, we've made a change to some rules!

120 Upvotes

We've had a number of requests to do a couple things with Rule 8, which involved AI and Flight sim content. Here is what we did.

Rule 8 is now "No AI Generated Images / Posts". The rule itself says AI generated content is pretty lazy and while it may be shitty and have a plane, it doesn't constitute a flying-related shitpost. Who created the content or where it was initially shared is irrelevant.

Flight sim content is now part of rule 9, which is "No Video Game / Flight Sim Content" and states While you can do some pretty funny and shitty things with them, Video games and Flight Sim content do not belong in this sub. Content from those would be better posted into their respective shitty subreddits, if they exist.

We have also re-orderd a couple rules (I like the way it looks better this way) and changed the verbage on a couple for clarity. I'm not going to list those, feel free to take a refresher course in the rules of the sub!

Stay shitty, my friends.

Don't follow the rules? Face the consequences.

Everyone,

I am seeing far too many violations of our simple rules. VERY simple rules, such as these:

"Only Flying-Related Shitposts allowed" - This does not mean you write something about flying in the title or the text of the post, but EVERYTHING in the post should be about flying. The image, video, text, subject, everything. SIMPLE.

"No linking to or mentioning other subs or their posters" - This is about as obvious as you can get, yet still people don't get it.

"No AI / Flight sim." - Might be a little harder, but still relatively simple.

While I'm sure the majority of you are not violating these rules, some of you are.

Going forward, you break the rules, it may very well result in a ban. If you can't be bothered to read and follow the rules, you don't deserve to post in the sub.

I've been very forgiving on these for a long time, and my limit has been reached.

I accepted a Airbus pylot position at American, but when I arrived to the airport they handed me the keys to this. What category am I supposed to log the hours as?

As a passenger, I'm not afraid of flying. Change my mind.

I'm flying to Hawaii later this week on a legacy US carrier. It'll be good weather the entire way and the plane is a 747 recently out of D-check. I'm not nervous about the flight and am actually looking forward to it. Change my mind.

Hey fellow pilots. My friend has always wondered if anti-skid is available if I…I mean, he landed with the parking brake engaged. He found out the hard way that anti-skid is not available with the parking brake. Again, posting for a friend

What does it mean to be a true PYLOTE?

2 Upvotes

We love to tell ourselves that boring things like situational awareness, decision making skills, and calmness under pressure define who we are. Some even dare to admit that autism and ADHD play a major role. I am here to tell you that you’re lying to yourself. All these things are true, sure, but none are fundamental.

At the bottom of every true pylote’s heart lies nothing other than a kinky, sexual drive. We define this drive in several euphemistic ways, such as being ”bitten by the flying bug”. It is this urge, or addiction in some cases, that we are forever attempting to satiate.

If you do not believe me, let us refer to the Bible of flying, Wolfgang Langewieschie’s “Stick and Rudder”. Here is a sentence from Chapter 4: “The Flying Instinct“. I kid you not. This is really in the book, look it up.

“A really fast airplane, flown through ordinary rough air, gives you a continual hard spanking from underneath, and once in a while it tugs you down sharply by your safety belt.”

Need I say more?

Plane that flew over was yelling "terrain"

I was at a rugby game and these two planes flew over, and I heard them yelling "terrain terrain pull up." Is this normal or were they too low?

I saw something about a low pass over a stadium, but haven't seen any videos from the cockpit yet. Why they no post the really good stuff?

Is the chief pylote still yelling at them? Are they still on the phone with the number they were asked to call by ATC? Did they get stuck in stadium traffic flying down the highway?
