INS units have compromised software which has been modded by the Conspiracy. Their data recordings are invalid.
Wouldn't that make it rather hard for fellows who use them?
Would constantly be off track because of this... At least; I would think so.

They still work in the intended fashion, but they give false data that indicates a round earth instead of a flat one.
Again, how would that work?
In order to give enough; the readings would be completely off.

Only to an observer looking at raw data, which pilots don't. All they need to know is that they think they know where they're going. As long as they get to where they're going, I don't think they're going to bring up a fuss about it.

Those missiles only use raw data... How do you explain that?

Missiles aren't people, I doubt they're going to contemplate the shape of the earth on the route to their destination. If they are, then we have much bigger problems than we are currently discussing.

They have to know the shape of the earth in order to navigate. And they are given coordinates in longitude and latitude, which an INS could not make a mistake with and still reach its target.

Iconoclast and Clocktower: I request that you do not assist Irushtocvs with his trolling and instead urge him to answer the important question of whether he thinks these doctored INS devices are capable of distinguishing between a path that curves to left or right and one that doesn't. You guys are being trolled, don't feed him.

I still am waiting for an answer how pilots are supposed to know how much fuel they are supposed to be carrying with this supposedly false system.

The system isn't false, it is modified to show round earth variations in a flat earth system. If you didn't know, on a flat earth all of the land masses are the same size as their RET counterparts, it is the ocean that is stretched out.

For who? A private pilot? They don't normally fly overseas and the ones that do have a tendency of disappearing. The ones that live think "Maybe my route was longer than expected. Maybe it was a higher drag on the aircraft forcing the engine to run harder."

A commercial pilot? They don't monitor their own fuel in any way other than a meter via the cockpit. The company handles all of it, which just happens to be heavily subsidized by the government. I doubt they would miss a little "too much" fuel.

For example; I do doubt you have any proof that private pilots have a " tendency of disappearing", do you?
As well as the fact that each gallon of fuel effects flight, so in fact commercial pilots do have to know exactly how much they have.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amelia_Earhart

Maybe you've heard of her?

A commercial pilot doesn't interact with the fuel with anything other than a meter he sees in a cockpit. He does all of his calculations based off this meter. If the conspiracy can modify an INS system, what makes you think they wouldn't modify the meter?

What about her?

Again, flight characteristics. How the plane moves depends on how heavy it is. There is a limit to how heavy the craft can be in order to take off.
Everything is weighed.
Anyway; I don't think they can modify the INS system.

Also, from what I understand from a co-worker who is a private pilot, most of the fuel calculations are done before the plane leaves the ground.  Unless you can show proof otherwise, it would make sense that the same goes for commercial flights.  Therefore, the guy(s) filling the tank would have to be manipulating the volume in coordination with the manipulated instruments in order for any kind of trickery to be happening.  There would have to be at least one, but more likely more, conspiracy trickster at every airport in order for them to make every pilot on every flight think that he/she has used a different amount of fuel than he/she actually has.

Ah, well do come back when you figure out how to counter my answer.
Perhaps you should do a little research, then, since you have some extra time?
For example; I do doubt you have any proof that private pilots have a " tendency of disappearing", do you?
As well as the fact that each gallon of fuel effects flight, so in fact commercial pilots do have to know exactly how much they have.

Maybe you've heard of her?

A commercial pilot doesn't interact with the fuel with anything other than a meter he sees in a cockpit. He does all of his calculations based off this meter. If the conspiracy can modify an INS system, what makes you think they wouldn't modify the meter?

Also, from what I understand from a co-worker who is a private pilot, most of the fuel calculations are done before the plane leaves the ground.  Unless you can show proof otherwise, it would make sense that the same goes for commercial flights.  Therefore, the guy(s) filling the tank would have to be manipulating the volume in coordination with the manipulated instruments in order for any kind of trickery to be happening.  There would have to be at least one, but more likely more, conspiracy trickster at every airport in order for them to make every pilot on every flight think that he/she has used a different amount of fuel than he/she actually has.

On a commercial flight, the maintenance crew simply fills the tank up with the amount they were told to fill it up with. There is no magic number changing in that. Also, to answer your previous question of what happened before the digital age, the instruments weren't modified at all.

If you'd like to debate the Conspiracy, I believe that the FEG forum is the place. (I am not a mod.) Let's keep FED classy please.
Keep it serious, Thork. You can troll, but don't be so open. We have standards

I can see you are not without a sense of irony, ClockTower. Happily debating wordplay and then when things get back on track "This shouldn't be here."


Well played.
