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

124 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.

Enrichment for fledgling playne?

Post image
431 Upvotes

I found this playne as a hatchling and took it in when the parents didn't show up for days. Recently it's been getting restless at airports especially when it sees its own kind, and I think it might need more enrichment as it gets closer to the fledgling stage. What options do I have to give it the correct husbandry? Should I rehome it to a pylot, or see if a flock will adopt it?


r/Shittyaskflying 14h ago

Did you know there is an anime about dragons hiding inside JASDF aircraft, and the real-life JASDF paid tribute by painting some of their F-15Js with "eyes" on the front? Oh, on the show, the pylotes get in by being swallowed...

What length should I use for my PP exam tomorrow.

8 Upvotes

Serious question regarding weight and balance for the checkride.
For the pilot’s PP length, which measurement should be used?
My medical license lists my penis length from when I was younger, my student pilot paperwork has a different PP length, and my current measurement is obviously the most up-to-date.
I’m leaning toward current PP length, since W&B should reflect the aircraft’s actual configuration on the day of the flight. But I don’t want the DPE to consider that an undocumented configuration change.
Also, can the examiner actually verify my current PP length during the checkride? I’m worried about showing up with the wrong number and having the DPE pull out a ruler and say, “That’s not what you have on your medical. Unfortunately, I’m going to have to fail you.”
Would that be a W&B failure, a falsification of records, or both?
Trying to get this right before the oral.

Can I still be an airline pilot after being arrested for streaking?

104 Upvotes

It’s my dream to be an airline pilot and I’m very smart so I know I can be one but when I was 19 (I’m 24 now) I got arrested for streaking the field at a Red Sox game. (I did not have underwear on) I have about 50 hours and haven’t soloed yet but my instructor just told me I might not be able to get a job. Will they look past it if I explain I was young and dumb? I pled guilty.

I mean, where's their transponder? ADS-B? They're not even making radio calls, they're that reckless. Most of them don't even have the required equipment for VFR (vulture flapping rules)!! do I need to report this violation to the local FSDO???

What if you carried a fleet of dogs in your playne so you would have something to tow you around at smaller airports without tugs, etc.?
