Boeing 747 Pilot Kelsey Offers Flat Earthers a Rock Solid Method to Prove Their Case — 3 Comments

  1. There is ample evidence that the earth is flat. There is no need to resort to such extravagant experimentation as suggested by the pilot. Indeed, if the earth were a globe, airliners would not be able to fly on a flat and level path. Any pilot will tell you that once a plane gets to its cruising altitude, the pilot “levels off” and flies in a straight and level path. Indeed, the pilot uses the horizon to ensure that the plane is flying level. When visibility is poor, the pilot will use the instruments and fly a level heading, using an artificial horizon. Either way, at all times the plane flies level, once the pilot reaches cruising altitude. If the earth were a globe, the pilot would have to constantly adjust the heading of the plane and dip its nose down to keep a constant altitude. However, the earth is in fact flat, so if a pilot dipped the nose of the plane down, to adjust for the supposed curvature of the earth, he would find that he is losing altitude. If the pilot kept on that downward trajectory, the plane would crash into the earth. The fact that no such downward adjustment is made by pilots for the supposed curvature of the earth is proof that the earth is flat.

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) assumes a flat earth when training pilots and air traffic controllers using their Target Generation Facility (TGF). The TGF consists of several software programs that control simulation scenarios, using simulated aircraft. The TGF computer simulator drives almost all of the air traffic control laboratories at the FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center. The FAA states: “Our lab has worked closely with the TGF group to have aircraft perform the way air traffic controllers would expect them to behave in the real National Airspace System (NAS). The simulated aircraft in TGF are quite realistic representations of their real-life counterparts.”

    The FAA publication explains that in order for the software to accurately replicate the behavior of aircraft during flight over the earth, the software running the TGF simulator assumes that the earth is flat.

    • Mr. Hendrie, I appreciate your stance against Covid-19 vaccines. But I cannot agree that there is abundant evidence that the earth is flat. I’m from Chicago, I lived in the Russian Arctic from Winter to Summer, and now I live in the tropics. I can tell from personal experience the difference of the hours of daylight between summer and winter is vastly different in the tropics compared to the Arctic. In Guam, the length of daylight is only 1 hour and 35 minutes less on December 21st compared to June 21. In the Russian city of Murmansk in the Arctic circle where I lived, the difference between daylight between summer and winter is 24 hours of darkness in most of December and January, and 24 hours of daylight in June and July. My knowledge of geometry tells me this is only possible on a spherical-shaped earth. And if that weren’t enough, just the fact that 24 hours a day 1/2 of the earth is continuously illuminated by the sun while the other half is in darkness is more than enough evidence for me that the earth must be round. It is only your interpretation of Scripture that tells you the earth is flat. No teacher of God’s Word who I follow agrees with that interpretation of the Bible.
