    I can fly a plane.

    Landing a plane. That is more difficult.

      Flying and landing planes, and even helicopters is actually really easy. Turning them on is the complicated part. Every craft has a different startup sequence that’s like 50 steps and you’ll break something if you don’t do every step in the correct order.

        Flight instructor here. It usually takes 5 or 6 flights for students to become comfortable working the startup and shutdown procedures. By the tenth time they climb in the plane I can normally say “okay start up and let’s taxi out” and that’s detailed enough instruction for them.

        It takes about 6 to 8 hours of practice flying the plane, from straight and level flight, turns, climbs, descents, slow flight, stalls etc. before I even try letting them land, and then usually another 6 to 8 hours of practice before they can put the airplane down gently more often than not.

        Landing a plane isn’t particularly easy.

        This is the most correct answer.

        The silliest answer is that the most difficult part of flying a plane is attempting to taxi while avoiding Blimps buzzing the tower at Mach 2.

        =P

      Might be the odd one out but I thought landing was the easiest step besides takeoff. It’s been 25 years since I’ve flown tho

        Don’t mind me I am being a goober, all my ‘flight time’ iis from DCS and other flight sims.

        You ever see the video of a guy who spawns in a P 51, on an incline, aircraft rolls off a cliff backward, then he does the entire start up sequence while freefalling, pulls the aircraft around such that the nose is now pointing the direction the craft is falling, guns the throttle and pulls up with feet to spare?

        Found that video once on YouTube and have never managed to find it again.

        Flying is the easy part as long as you count not hitting the ground as success.

      Have you checked your planes’ blinker fluid?

      source
      • Localhorst86@feddit.de ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I am not falling for that stupid trick again. Everyone knows planes don’t use blinker fluid because that would freeze during flight, they use plasma.

    Not only planned, I’ve been priced in

    How? Why? Don’t even ask the question. The answer is yes, me, you, everyone, everything is priced in. Think Amazon will beat the next earnings? That’s already been priced in. You work at the drive thru for Mickey D’s and found out that the burgers are made of human meat? Priced in.

    You think insiders don’t already know that? The market is an all powerful, all encompassing being that knows the very inner workings of your subconscious before you were even born. Your very existence was priced in decades ago when the market was valuing Standard Oil’s expected future earnings based on population growth that would lead to your birth, what age you would get a car, how many times you would drive your car every week, how many times you take the bus/train, etc.

    Anything you can think of has already been priced in, even the things you aren’t thinking of. You have no original thoughts. Your consciousness is just an illusion, a product of the omniscent market. Free will is a myth. The market sees all, knows all and will be there from the beginning of time until the end of the universe (the market has already priced in the heat death of the universe).

    So please, before you make a post asking whether peor have been planned or not or whatever, know that it has already been priced in and don’t ask such a dumb fucking question again.

    Technically I know how. I just have no experience in actually doing it.
