Flying Instructors & Examiners A place for instructors to communicate with one another because some of them get a bit tired of the attitude that instructing is the lowest form of aviation, as seems to prevail on some of the other forums!

Some question please

Some question please

Hello pilots.

My name is Nina am not a pilot. I have watched videos that by those who think the Earth is Flat. I do not believe this but they say all pilots secretly know it to be true? Can you tell me what it is?

Please not to be annoyed by this question as I come directly to you for answers and will be thankful for a kind reply.

Nina

I've never met any pilot who believed it - secretly or otherwise. I've never bothered to look into what the flat-earthers think, but most theory about weather systems and navigation would be hard to explain if the earth was not a sphere (ok, an oblate spheroid). the GPS System too.......

Total nonsense.

Actually, it's not flat, it's a slightly domed disc, supported by four large elephants standing on the back of a giant turtle, swimming through space.

It's all true. The earth is actually flat, and every pilot swears a secret oath not to tell anyone.

Of course it's flat - Aussies would fall off otherwise
