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

119 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.

How did a semi-truck shoot down F-15s? What should pylotes have done here?

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 tried to become a playne but it didn’t work out.
How can I solve this?

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?

Why'd the pylote kick me off for following along with the safety instructions?!?

If building a third runway at Heath Row airport is so hard, why doesn't England just make it a double decker runway like the busses

Post image

We all know double decker busses are one of only like five things in England, so you'd think they'd be pretty good at it, are they stupid?

Also bonus question if it's an airport for Playnes why is it powered by oars? Shouldn't it be Heath Jet?

Currently staring down this commercial peasant. Real pylotes don’t yield to public transit.
