Yeah, it's really annoying for all these people who want to travel from New Zealand to the Falkland islands.

Yeah, ice tends to crash planes, weird huh, retard

>OP thinks airline companies are there to give them the shortest possible route to their destination

They did until we crashed a plane into Mt Erebus.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_route

Its mostly because it is extremely cold as shit, colder than what most planes can handle, in the interior of the Antarctic. Not to mention basic environmental protections.

Planes do fly over the North Pole, though.

It's more popular than you'd think.

>wanting to fly over literal weather hell

>lets travel through the shittiest weather conditions in the place where compasses and navigation dont work and the ozone layer is the thinnest
>said no pilot ever.

Planes don't go to Tasmania

The locals try shooting at them

Antarctica is not a continent. It is a huge ice wall that surrounds us.

/thread

i am pretty sure that from sweden to iceland they have to fly like that

I always kind of assumed navigating around the magnetic poles must get fucky.
But I'm defaulting to air bergs.

more of these

Why don't you write up your dissertation and claim your Nobel Prize then?

>that image
Are you retarded

>Making the vast majority of your flight path over a desolate, inhospitable continent with 0 landing strips built for commercial airlines.

Pilotfag here, flight paths have to take into considering gliding distance to nearby airports in case one or more engines going out. You would think there aren't airports in gliding distance going over big oceans, but you would be surprised. God forbid you have an IFE directly over Antarctica during their winter.

Then what's beyond the ice. Any photos?

(((They))) want to stop all news of this from reaching the public. (((They))) try to discredit every Flat Earth study.

There is so much evidence out there if you just open your eyes.

The Firmament. (((They))) don't want us to see it for some reason.

If an emergency landing, all survivors freeze within a few minutes.

You wouldn't use magnetic navigation, you would probably make sure your GPS is working good (Think ADS-B). It also requires some chart work putting in your coarse, speed and verifying where you are periodically.

I miss when these threads had semi passable bait that on the surface looked believable. Made for much higher quality (You)s

>ice
You're flying over the clouds, retard.

omg yes, i've been saying this for years!

this is how physics works

>not using trade winds for extra fuel efficiency

lmfao kill urself it doesnt make any difference at these altitudes

the sad thing is that this guy is probably allowed to vote for anything

>Fly over Antarctica
>Fly and hit the south pole, crash the plane with no survivors
>Its 9/11 all over again

This antarctica bs is great bait. Delicious.

If you can't understand why airlines wouldn't want to fly over antarctica, you should KILL YOURSELF RIGHT NOW.

>berg

>looks in the sky
>sees shere moon
>sees sphere sun
>welp, guess the earth is flat

I mean really?

You guys do realize due to the curvature of the Earth those lines are not the shortest route right?
>Inb4 flat Earth, kys

>water is always level, because gravity pushes it down
>water is still level, because what is level is determined by gravity
>centre of gravity is the globe, meaning that despite earth's curvature it would still be considered level, as it aligns with the gravitational pull of the earth
I love flat-earthers.

Can you prove that the Sun and Moon are "spheres"? They look pretty flat to me.

I love this meme. Even if the earth is flat, you still need gravity to explain why we remain attached to it. If gravity exists the earth has no requirement of being flat to explain why we stay on it.

It's entertaining.

you are seeing discs buddy dont lie to yourself

this mostly has to do with the fact that the earth is a spinning spheroid

you can't fly in a straight line from australia to south america, you'd end up in africa


also, south pole doesn't have a very flight-friendly climate

See you just don't understand those are flat discs facing us...

This gets better.
>see sphere planets
>see sphere-esque asteroids and moons around sphere planets
>see sphere planets outside of sphere star solar system
>the only flat planet in the universe is earth

The (((theory))) of gravity starts to fall apart once you apply some logic to it. Sad!

Yeah that's the fun part.
>the earth being flat explain's why we don't fall off it!

How long do these flights take?
If they don't take 30 hours you're wrong.

This bait is too good.

Also I think it's just "gravity" now. They found higgs bosons didn't they?

>look at meteors
>they're enclosed volumes
>look at asteroid
>pieces of rocks in space, once again enclosed volumes

>rest of things somehow are not

That's because the plane doesn't actually move.
Your flight just floats in space while the earth rotates and lands when your destination arrives below your plane.Since Antarctica lies on the axis of rotation,it's not possible to do that.

It's terrible bait. No one cares at all. It's just amusing.

Did you make this? Add to the left panel that the flat earth is moving 9.8m/s upwards to "maintain" gravity.

You'd think astronauts would notice they were flat when they were going around the earth and moon.

Ancieng Greek mathamaticians in Alexandria proved the world was round hundreds of years before Christ. Even in the days when Colombus sailed the Atlantic, the globe was the common thought. They just thought it was smaller.

Sorry, right* panel.

>what is temperature?
the south pole is far below freezing at the surface, meaning it's much, much colder at high altitudes

flying a plane on any of those routes, where the nearest airport would be thousands of miles away, is fucking suicidal

flat-earthers are fucking retards who don't understand any of the shit they talk about

You need to be very careful with all those icebergs out there

You would think they would notice they never left a closed sound studio in the middle of the desert, too, but the intense training regiment does crazy things to the mind.

Trying too hard.

What about hollow globe theory though???

How can the earth be flat...

...if it's hollow?

not gonna lie this would be a cool concept for an alternative earth kind of game

>How cute, fedora faggot who thinks he understands Bible .

If somebody from a station in Antarctica had internet access and posted on here, what flag would display? If it wasn't just displaying a proxy for the country the research station was based out of, would it be the rarest flag possible?

Grab a shovel and prove it.

>there are people that actually believe we never landed on the moon
>there are people that actually believe the USSR would not have leapt at the chance to embarrass the US

this is actually for safety purposes, as crashing over the antarctic would be a death sentence.

No one is there to rescue you, hundreds of miles to cross in order to rescue you, and no one to know if you crashed.

At least in the ocean you MIGHT get lucky and a ship sees your plane go down, but even the ocean is a risk.

They sometimes do.

It's a plain white flag, much like Frances military.

>entire milky way visible in the firmament when we can only see an arm of it looking out in the universe

You're all wrong! The earth is a wheel, and all the souls flow towards the center point, what we know as the sun but was actually magnus escaping when the world was being formed, with the daedra forming the "gaps" of the wheels and the aedra forming the "spokes". If we look at it from above, as when in the dreamsleeve, we see the world as a wheel, and reach CHIM. Until now everyone zero sums when they realize it, but when we reach CHIM then the world will be as Lorkhan intended! Praise Talos!

>muh (((gravity)))

There's a literal experment you can do by which you can see that America left something on the moon

>""""ball"""" earth
a claim no one but flat earthers has ever made

>the earth being flat explain's why we don't fall off it!

Now they just need to figure out why we don't constantly burn to a crisp and why we don't have half days/nights instead of what we currently have.

I'm just spitballing here, but isn't it possible that it's a safety thing? If a plane goes down on or near to inhabited land, there's a possibility of rescue. If you crash in antarctica, you're fucked.

Do you even relative velocity?

God you people are retarded, you know you can't tell in any reference frame if you're moving at high speed or stationary right?

Oh wait, you people just blindly believe this shit without actually reading up counter-arguments.

>we're actualy a very ugly asteroid thing
wew lad

Airliners have structural and engine de-ice features to be use mid flight.

/thread

Yes.

Even crossing something like the Atlantic, you actually stop talking to ATC for quite some time. You work out a plane saying where exactly you will be and what speed you will be, and file it before you fly. You leave European controllers for a blackout and after a bit you report into Canadian controllers. That's why you have flights going to Europe and those coming back in separate times...because there is no contact between the aircraft flying around over the Atlantic, it helps avoid possible midair collision.

Is that an abstract painting of a jew?

All spheroids are beautiful, stop planet-shaming you fucking cis white pigs

Those only go so far, senpai

If it's so cold that your flight controls are freezing up, you're fucked. de-icing equipment can and does fail.

not to mention there are no alternate airports out there to land at. when we fly over the north pole, there are many possible alternates along the way thanks to Canada, Russia and Greenland. not so with Antarctica

To keep ice from forming at high altitudes. Even landing in a winter storm is dangerous you think they could handle the poles?

Airline pilot here, flying over Antarctica requires a 4 engine jet, since the extreme distance is not ETOPS approved.

...

There are no flights over greenland as well faggots
Jet fuel freezes at really low temperature thats why planes don't fly above 30.000 feet

meteorologytraining.tpub.com/14269/css/14269_75.htm

If average tempeture is around -4C do you imagine whats the tempeture above greenland and antartica at 30.000 feet?

You need special fuel fucking faggots.

youre saying a flight from england to new york goes through alaska?
thats alot excessive.

Now this is good shitposting.

Ahhhhh so much autism

Laser> moon mirror placed by astronatuts to verify the speed of light , an amature can do it

Also you can bounce radio waves off the moon to check speed of light and distance based on speed of light.

Any and all doubt can be killed by building a small radio tower if earth is flat then you can build a radio tower to cover the entire surface , yes communcation between USA and EU using radio waves or microwaves is done via statelites. to bounce crap around (something)

The low temperature limitation on aircraft is due to the battery, not the fuel.

I suppose you guys are going to explain why pilots can fly over the North pole which is just as cold as the South pole?

FFS would you just admit you are making shit up?

To scale earth is smoother than a cue ball.

Yea because it impossible that there are just some shiny rocks on the moon that America acts like they put there.

Underrated poke.

>>not to mention there are no alternate airports out there to land at. when we fly over the north pole, there are many possible alternates along the way

fuck off retard

>instruments freeze up

Wrong. They have pilot heating system as well. The more likely scenario would be their instruments go crazy due to being so close to the magnetic pole.

...

Why do all the pictures from orbit look curved instead of misshapen like this pic?

I was addressing the temperature issue, not the alternate airport issue.

They are making shit up about the temperatures being too cold to fly over it.
