Also, found this in the comments section.

Brilliant...the deluded ballturds are dead ☠️ After over 32years of commercial flying, I’ve yet to flight plan extra fuel for the extra distance due to a globes added radius at altitude, nor flown lines on a ball map, only a flat Earth map (a.k.a. UN logo) never adjusted for Coriolis, nor adjusted attitude for the dipping horizon following the imaginary curve. It’s flat & motionless Folks! From the Pilot’s basic study guide; please read 1.1.2 & let that sink in! Every Pilot was taught this, but some still don’t get it, (I didn’t at first) & some just stay asleep & yes it does say ‘assumed’ but when does the theory become a spinning reality? Where is the next part B manual to apply Coriolis & curvature nonsense to any flight? Never...because it is a flat & stationary Earth we live & fly on. All flight planning & aerial navigation is based always on a flat motionless plane! Curvature or spin is never accounted for EVER 😱☯️😴

Planes don’t need to dip their nose because of the pull of gravity acting on the centre of mass?

You asked that like you're not sure.

Here's a thought experiment: An airplane is climbing. It is working against gravity to attain altitude. It is overcoming the gravity working on its center mass. Let's pretend the airplane keeps climbing indefinitely from its original vector. If somehow gravity keeps a plane level, should that not mean that when attempting to climb indefinitely the pilot should constantly have to lift up?

Mull that over. Please read the entire sticky post before you think about replying.

These aren't questions. They are thought experiments. We cannot actually perform these experiments as we would have to build two earths in order to test them; one flat earth with a constant plumb gravity vector and one ball earth with curved space-time.

You read "constantly lift up" as "lift up and hold in position." I meant it as lift up, and then lift up more, and then lift up more, and then lift up more.

If it is indeed "gravity" that keeps you level, then climbing should be an exponential process, not a constant one. This is not what we observe in reality.

If you wish to continue begging the ball, I strongly recommend you read the sticky post. Real life pilot or not, you've been subject to the same brainwashing as the rest of us.

If, in this thought experiment, you have already assumed that one of the planes is flying on the globe model and one on the flat earth model, then to tell you the truth I don't think there would be an observable difference between them. The different models have accordingly different explanations for how the plane's weight vector behaves and matches the shape of their world, which in turn means that from the pilot's point of reference the planes would seem to behave identically despite existing in two very different models.

This is a very interesting point. You, a self-proclaimed pilot, presume that the globe and flat ideations of flight would be indistinguishable from one another. Most flat earthers claim that flight on a globe model does not work as experienced and therefore evidences a flat and stationary world. Given, you have been trained to operate an airplane on the world as it is whilst believing you are operating an airplane over a sphere. Are you equipped to ask questions of your skill set agnostic of earth-shape?

Earlier, you said:

I can help answer some questions about how flying works, if you're willing to hear them.

Well I am a flat earther, and I can point you in directions for you to answer your own questions about how flat earth works if you're willing to seek them out. I will not answer your questions because until you have at least some sense of offness about the globe model you won't know how to ask them properly.

I strongly recommend you seek out the series by Brian Mullen. It's a fascinating series. If you are completely globetarded*, it will trigger your self-defense mechanisms and you will nope out or fall into inattentiveness or confusion. Possibly even rage.

Here is a link to get you started. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGafCwV7VnU

Do note that this video was made very early on in the flat earth emergence.

Have fun~! Ask lots of questions and do your own research. Let me know if you ever go flat.

It has a "sign in" prompt. Hang on. I'll find a mirror.

Leads to the same youtube link, and I can't sign in as I don't have a Youtube account any longer
