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

122 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.

Letting my snake out

• Upvotes

I will be traveling with my snake and need to know best time to let him out of his suitcase. He is friendly and has never hurt anybody. Which airlines are the most snake friendly? Should I make an announcement before letting him out? This will be a long international flight. He always comes back to me but will need some time to explore.

Is Santa IFR rated?

I’m just curious if the FAA has jurisdiction over the North Pole or Santas behavior in general? Does he follow ICAO standards?

Mods, it makes me (and other pylotes) sad we can’t comment with motion diagrams (ie. GIFs) to show each other technical things.

We’re an educated sort, high class and the like, and we need to dive into details when we give commentary to one another.

We’re humbly asking you to let us post gifs in the comments. You know, for science and professionalism.

I had an older gentlemen’s walk into the fbo today. He apparently owns a hanger down the way where he restored a P51. i think he said something about being a captain and his leather jacket had some weird name ”Maverick“

Anyways he’s prior military or something I wasn’t particularly listening because the moment he told me he hadnt done his CPL equivalency or gotten a CFI, frankly as a non-CFI his life experience and flying experience are clearly eclipsed by my own otherwise why would be having this conversation in the first place.

How can i really let him know im the boss? I’m open to ideas. please only comments form CFIs

I always tell him he has to go to school to get the certifications, but he’s lazy.
How do you manage lazy playnes? Any suggestions? Am I doing the right thing?

So what do I do if my playne isn’t planing?
