the hilarious world of Tirooon Jokes, where controllers take silliness and fun to a whole new level! Picture this: when the operator asks a pilot and say "TIRON?" and like clockwork, at least two other people respond in the background like a PARROT BIRD with an enthusiastic "TIROOOOON!!" It doesn't stop there, though.aviation humor It's an ongoing cycle of banter and playful teasing that never fails to bring smiles to our faces.🤣😂😆 Must watch: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2Ht100hWtXTx2YhGYVFHejldUeNIcJ2l https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2Ht100hWtXSFB-KhJwrBI67JMmWDnBM-

"Masters of the Air details: Part 1-Graphics
"[...]I had the pleasure of working with the graphics department on many topics from navigation to mission planning, forms, manuals, research and just plain answering questions.
"Dan Burke was the department head but I mostly worked with Megan Jones and her wonderful pup Indy.
"When on set, like in one of the offices that you have seen in the first two episodes or anywhere else in the series, you will see bulletin boards, clip boards, file folders and in/out trays and typewriters filled with paperwork. If you were able to pick up one of these documents you will find actual 100th BG documents faithfully recreated and they are also pertinent to the specific time of the scene. And I am not just talking a page on top but all the way through the stack!
"The mission orders came in to the bomb groups via teletype machines and were printed out on special sized roll paper. Meg found a guy who had working WWII teletypes and then she found the exact paper. She printed up the correct mission reports and they were coming out of the machines and looked great!
"One of the things that Meg asked me about was the navigation paperwork. Crosby had several scenes where he was navigating and just what kind of paperwork would he have had?
"Charts, maps and navigators logs was the answer to begin with and I had brought examples of those with me to teach the actors how to look like they could navigate. I even had some of my Dad's paperwork and nav kit along. Meg recreated his bare nav log to use with Crosby's scenes.
"We then looked in to the mission routes so we could fill out the nav logs and mark the charts and big briefing wall map accurately. I dove in to the archives mission files that they had procured from sources in the US but since this was deep in the middle of COVID the archives were closed down and getting additional research information was problematic. The National Archives in the UK opened up and I was there on the weekend doing research. Instead of the multi generation degraded copies that production received from the US these files were all original and in perfect condition. Incredible stuff for sure with all of the photos complete with Air Ministry water marks on the back of the paper.
"In the mission files were the planned route of the mission and also the actual route flown which were often quite different. I dug in to the files and was able to plot out the planned and actual mission routes on charts that Meg had reproduced. For the pilot types reading this I also plotted all of the routes on ForeFlight to help with quick calculations for the headings as we actually put in the winds that were encountered and reported in the mission file. Meg ended up getting Foreflight so we could share the plots and work out the future missions.
"One of the things that I hadn't realized but was revealed in the reports was just how much time was spent in forming up the whole attacking armada. Each bomb group would all take off and form up over their own air field. Then they would go to specific assembly areas and form up the wings and full task force. It took two, three or more hours of flying just to do this over the UK before they headed toward fortress Europe. Amazing really and it explains why so many aircrew died during this from collisions climbing through the ugly weather. Hundreds and then thousands of aircraft all coming up through the heavy cloud layer on instruments trying not to hit each other. A lot of them did and a near miss sequence is depicted in the series.
"So when you see the paperwork, posters, maps, teletypes and amazing other details you can appreciate the efforts of Megan and the graphics department. And all of the other departments, Some of which I will try to highlight in future posts if this is of interest." - (Taigh Ramey on Facebook)

It's funny bc the FAA is so against any type of neurodivergence in pilots (if you dont know it's EXTREMELY difficult to get a flight medical certificate if you've been diagnosed with... anything, any kind of neurodivergence really. It's insanely restrictive and a hot button topic in aviation) but every pilot I've ever met have been like. Extremely on the spectrum [positive]
Like there's So Much to being a pilot. You HAVE to be autistic as fuck to do it. Not only do you have to understand the basics of how to control the airplane, you also have to understand aerodynamics, physics, meteorology, engine mechanics, how all the instruments work, tons of math, how radio signals work, navigation, and a bunch of other shit I've probably forgot. My current study unit is about the Earth's magnetic field and how it affects the magnetic compass in the airplane. This is a whole deep dive of a chapter. And it's important and not some kind of tangent. You have to know this just to make turns with any accuracy 😵‍💫 You have to be processing all of this all at once while flying and also just physically fly the airplane at the same time.
So all this to say it's real funny the FAA says ohhh no you can't be autistic and be a pilot. Bc like my instructor is the most autistic adult I've ever met in my LIFE and I relate him so much lmao. I told him I finally got gifted an iPad (for navigation, foreflight is Apple only) by my lovely partner and he went on a 20 minute hyperfixated explanation of lesser known features of foreflight. When we were supposed to be doing our preflight lmao. He'll text me that we should fly soon and that he misses seeing me and I'll text him right back asking if we can schedule next week and he clearly got distracted and doesn't answer for three days lmao. He's one of my favorite people and I get him so much lmaoooo but man if the FAA got rid of all undiagnosed pilots they'd have none left lel
Anyway I'm still waiting for him to text me back kdkdkdkf

Hello!💖 Can you please make a quirk marriage between Fierce wings and Foresight?
I know some of my Quirks can eek into the horror category, but I don't think I've done nearly enough angelic horrors.
New Quirk Name: Divine Wing, Ornithomance, or Foreflight
This Transformation type Quirk allows the user to grow a set of wings with white feathers. The user can remove and control these feathers, which are capable of sending them out and receiving information from them over medium ranges, and are strong enough to be used as weapons. From these feathers, the user may open a series of light blue, crystalline eyes. These eyes perceive and transfer information much faster to the user, effectively letting the user see the future through advanced prediction. The user can handle this influx of information and can still react to it, like seeing someone about to shoot them and dodging it or moving a feather to intercept it. The more eyes that are open, the more the user can predict the future and react to it, letting them act and react to several instances at once. This gives the user a versatile power, capable of effortlessly maneuvering impossible situations with their senses. They can react to attacks before they happen, scan over large areas with their feathers, have them fly around allies to protect them, glide around on their wings, or just freak foes out with giant eyes. Though opening more eyes can overwhelm the user with information, making it difficult to react, keeping them open for too long will cause the feathers to lose energy when they are not in contact with the user. The feathers can still be destroyed and will take a few days to grow back.

Voyager
Tomorrow is the day that Apple Vision Pro becomes available, and today, Apple announced over 600 new apps built for it. As Apple typically does, they seeded certain companies with advance units, allowing them to develop and test on the device. Our design organization has a partnership with Apple, so we were one of those privileged companies. If you scroll down through the linked article, you'll see a short video clip of an app called Voyager by ForeFlight. ForeFlight is a Boeing subsidiary and the leading electronic flight bag provider for pilots in general, business, and military aviation.
No, I didn't get to work on the app, but one of my colleagues did. There were strict restrictions on who had access to the device, so I never got to see it. The app is a really interesting use of the technology—cool enough to be one of a handful featured by Apple.
Apps like Voyager by ForeFlight give spatial context to the coordinated nature of air traffic control, creating the ultimate playground for aviation enthusiasts…
The app combines satellite imagery, high-resolution terrain, and live traffic data to represent airports and the airspace above them.
Using a live traffic feed, Voyager depicts commercial and business jets, turboprops, piston aircraft, and helicopters flying near the selected airport, all shown at their actual to-scale altitudes with realistic pitch and bank. Users can select any aircraft to view detailed information about its flight plan and aircraft type, as well as live speed, altitude and heading information.
You can read and see more details about the Voyager app on ForeFlight's blog. It reminds me of the holographic tables in the first Avatar film.
It’s going to be a lot of fun seeing what else our teams cook up as we further explore the device.

Maverick ForeFlight Integration
Over the past few months our team has been working on this new feature, and we are super pumped to announce its release. This update allows the pilot to quickly and precisely load the flight planned pax, fuel and cargo information into the performance calculation.
How do I use this feature?
Once I've released my flight plan in ForeFlight, it becomes available inside the Maverick app. The "Flights" screen will contain all future flights (and flights that are slightly in the past).
Tumblr media
I hit "Load" for the leg that I'm about to fly, and magically, all my passengers are distributed across the stations; my cargo is loaded into the cargo station. Also, my initial fuel as well as the landing fuel numbers are both taken from the flight plan, populated into the app, which allows me to be super precise with my speed and distance calculations. Of course, I can make quick last minute modifications to the weights and positions if I wish.
How do I add ForeFlight into my Maverick app?
Very simple. Log into your ForeFlight account, and go to "API Console." There will be a button that says "Generate API Key." This essentially is a key that allows Maverick to talk to ForeFlight and fetch the flight plan data. Please note that this requires ForeFlight Dispatch add-on.
Tumblr media
Here is some additional documentation about API keys from ForeFlight.
Once the key is generated, paste it into the Maverick control panel (www.maverickapp.com/integrations,) and voila! Reload the app, to see your flight plans.
I love using this feature, because it gives me another level of precision, to make sure I transferred all information from the plan into the calculation.
In the next few iterations, we are planning to integrate more flight planning vendors. Which one would you like to see integrated into Maverick?
Check out the latest version at www.maverickapp.com or on the App Store.

#Iphone x plane simulator#
There is no official GameFAQs app, and we do not support nor have any contact with the makers of these unofficial apps. Continued use of these apps may cause your IP to be blocked indefinitely. This triggers our anti-spambot measures, which are designed to stop automated systems from flooding the site with traffic.
Some unofficial phone apps appear to be using GameFAQs as a back-end, but they do not behave like a real web browser does.
Using GameFAQs regularly with these browsers can cause temporary and even permanent IP blocks due to these additional requests.
If you are using Maxthon or Brave as a browser, or have installed the Ghostery add-on, you should know that these programs send extra traffic to our servers for every page on the site that you browse.
The most common causes of this issue are: To fix this, remove all "XAVION OR FLYQ" connections, and also any "Control Pad" connections.Your IP address has been temporarily blocked due to a large number of HTTP requests. A symptom of this is instead of seeing "X-Plane" on MORE > DEVICES (per step 4) you see "ADS-B". The link to ForeFlight Mobile will not work correctly if a "XAVION OR FLYQ" connection is active to that iPad or iPhone. Symptom: Position not showing in ForeFlight Mobile.
#Iphone x plane simulator#
IMPORTANT: Remember to re-enable Location Services for ForeFlight Mobile when the simulator session is complete. Turn Location Services OFF for ForeFlight Mobile, in APPLE SETTINGS > PRIVACY > LOCATION SERVICES. Symptom: Position in ForeFlight Mobile "jumping" or "lagging" behind the position in the simulator. X-Plane will show "1m" in the ACCURACY instrument when X-Plane is connected Once X-Plane is Enabled, accuracy will be reported as "Accuracy (X-Plane) 1m". Go to MORE > DEVICES and tap on the X-Plane box Note: when using X-Plane version 11, the flight simulator connection sometimes appears as "1" or "2" instead of "X-Plane." Open ForeFlight, tap on MORE > DEVICES, and then tap on the X-Plane box. Go to the iPhone/iPad tab and check the box next to "Broadcast to all copies of ForeFlight." IMPORTANT: 127.0.0.1 is NOT your iPad's IP address. Enter the other address. Enter that IP address in the box on the X-Plane Settings screen. Tap the "i" button in ForeFlight > MORE > DEVICES to see your iPad's IP address. Note: If using FlyThisSim and you need AHRS data to display in ForeFlight, choose the "Send GPS data. Enter that IP address in the box on the X-Plane setup screen.
