I'm a long range shooter. We routinely adjust for the coriolis effect for long range shots. When the flight time of your bullet is 1 second, the surface of the earth moves 101 feet in that second. Depending on the direction you're shooting, if you fail to correct for the coriolis effect that means you can miss by up to 101 feet. Anyone can duplicate this any time and it doesn't require "rocket science". It just requires repeated observation and a knowledge of the mathematics of ballistics. I'm not a pilot and I don't need to be one to see this work every time I try it.

Marvelous saying, makes me chuckle whenever I see it used to such great effect! I wonder what kind of job he had for 3 years among airplanes? Airplane puller, catering handler, fuel handler or paddle man? Any suggestions?
So mathematically square roots are defined algebraically and not by their limits, So fuck all would have to be a solution to x^fuck all = fuck all , so fuck all, as a square root of fuck all, does, in fact, not exist, but that's because is it undefined . Just to put it into smarty pants context

Autopilot works by a negative feedback loop (also called a closed loop control system). It detects a deviation from the set altitude or heading and it will apply a correction until there’s 0 deviation. Modern autopilots on unstable aircraft do this many times a second.

As a helicopter pilot…listening to someone that’s never spent a day in flight school talk about how easy it is to be a pilot is always a nice treat after the massive dedication, hard work, and ungodly amount of studying to pull of a pilots license was.
My sister dated a guy who is now an air force pilot, for planes. I was great friends with him. When he first applied for the RNZAF I was happy for him. He applied as a helicopter pilot. He failed. He later applied as a plane pilot and got in, and he's doing well. I asked him what's up and he said that piloting a helicopter is much harder than a plane and they only take a few people for it. I absolutely believe him. Piloting a plane is no easy task in any sense but the way he described it is a helicopter moves so much that it's much harder to use. I have full respect for anyone who can do it.
Hey Gordon, the guy worked at an airport for three years! He should know! Of course, this explains why baggage is always getting lost. I didn't realize that the handlers harbored so much resentment towards pilots.
Props to you, I hear helicopters are extremely challenging to fly. Have to be able to do 5 different tasks/motions at the same time or some crazy nonsense.
"I worked around planes for 3 years" And this makes him an expert on how autopilots are programmed? Wait... I've worked around a lot of military equipment, when we had cooperations between our historical association and the army. Does this mean I'm now an expert on literally every military equipment they had on the base? DAMN! I'm so cool now!
He's the flattard who stared at the Sun without protection during the 2017 solar eclipse--claiming a 'hoax' that it's unsafe to look at the Sun without eye protection.
That's what I thought. How would The Prat know what the hell was in the code anyway? It's not like the code has a couple lines that say, "Maintain a constant bank of 1.25° to counter Coriolis effect. Maintain a constant nose-down attitude of .0025° to compensate for surface curvature." Besides, the flight computer simply maintains a constant altitude, which is measured by the altimeter using air pressure...which by its very nature means the flight computer makes minute adjustments to the plane's pitch to keep it within the altitude it's been programmed to maintain.
@@ivancillo8797 Looking back at your own previous code and barely being able to understand it while thinking you were insane while writing it is a common occurrence in my experience.
A pilot here: We do compensate for curvature of earth BUT not the way you think. We are not flying over a basketball, we adjust for altitude which correct to the curve in large distances.
It is really funny, but it also makes me genuinely sad the way these guys do this. Imagine being such a fanatic about a conspiracy theory fantasy that your wife threatens to divorce you and you still sneak off to soend time and money making videos raving like an absolute lunatic about a delusion. Imagine being that selfish and putting such a profoundly silly and easily falsifiable belief system before your own family. I feel really bad for these guys, but I feel so, so much worse for their families.

@NiceGuy Tried linking the answer. it was deleted twice. Here's a copy and paste. Convention, and no other reason. Original directions were based on the spin of the earth (or, more accurately, the movement of the sun). Where the sun rises was called "east" and where it sets is called "west". "North" and "South" were defined entirely in relation to those. Early maps didn't have the convention of placing north on top. Once the magnetic compass was developed, north and south became more convenient to work in relation to. And, once we realized the earth was round, the poles made more sense as fixed points (there is no ultimate east or west, but the north and south poles are absolute points). Now, why did north end up on top of the map instead of south? Once again, convention and tradition. Most of the cartographers from whom our modern maps descend were Eurasian. Since they lived north of the equator, it became common for them to put their own location on top of the map, which meant that south was at the bottom. The people who lived south of the equator had little influence, so if they objected, no one paid attention. Eventually that concept hardened up, until it became so ingrained that few people question it anymore. Most navigation and geography is based on the assumption that north is at the top of the map, and changing that way of thinking would be massively difficult and accomplish little. To be fair, the majority of the earth's landmass and 90% of the earth's population live north of the equator.
@NiceGuy That makes literally no sense. By your reasoning, they wouldn't be called North or South because that would be illogical. They would have completely different titles, such as Centre Point and Circumference.
Pilot here. An FAA handbook titled “airplane flying handbook” clearly states that use of automation can easily make pilots complacent. Autopilots are there to help pilots fly, not fly for them. Also, some planes don’t even have autopilot systems!
Do you think there is more money in airplane driving 😉 than making videos in his parents basement? Maybe he should try it. Though he obviously has $1M in spare cash so he must be doing well 😃
That's why he asked to point out the relevant lines of code for him. We should send him a few pages of nonsensical pseudo-code and underline some random sections.

If my car goes up a hill on cruise control, it simply increases engine power to keep the speed constant. The is no code based on calculating the effect of gravity on slowing the car.
That is the magic code he is banging on about. He fails to grasp that it is not doing a specific task of adjusting for curve. It is keeping the plane in a specific pressure region for fuel efficiency and/or comfort of the passenger. Just coincidentally,,, the air pressure at the given height will be roughly the same at any point around the globe so the plane is doing it but in a very simplifed way.
The most baffling thing about this is realizing this man has a career, makes enough money to buy what looks like a decent house, and perhaps even has children. It’s horrifying

@@moritz505 but still the code would only be "are we this high" "yes no action needed" or "no adjust up/down". But no way would that crazy guy be happy with that
The answer is: Mu. In Robert M. Pirsig's 1974 novel Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, mu is translated as "no thing", saying that it meant "unask the question". The word features prominently with a similar meaning in Douglas Hofstadter's 1979 book, Gödel, Escher, Bach. It is used fancifully in discussions of symbolic logic, particularly Gödel's incompleteness theorems, to indicate a question whose "answer" is to either un-ask the question, indicate the question is fundamentally flawed, or reject the premise that a dualistic answer can be given. "Mu" may be used similarly to "N/A" or "not applicable," a term often used to indicate the question cannot be answered because the conditions of the question do not match the reality. A layperson's example of this concept is often invoked by the loaded question "Have you stopped beating your wife?", to which "mu" would be the only respectable response. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu_(negative)

“I worked AROUND planes for 3 years” What a clown! I was an aviation mechanic in the Marine Corps for 14 years (2001-2015) and this guy is way off the mark! I’ve worked on C-130s, F-18s, Hueys, Cobra’s and a few others, and I can tell you there is NO code. None like this clown is talking about anyway. SciManDan is spot on in his explanation! Most instruments gather data by means of many tools on an aircraft. Speed for instance is calculated using air pressures that flow into pitot tubes and over static ports. The 2 pressures are calculated together and you get the speed. Altitude can be determined by use of radar altimeters or by the more commonly used barometric altimeter! Barometric altimeters have small bellows inside that inflate or deflate based on the surrounding pressures. Barometric altimeters also have a knob on them to allow pilots to make adjustments related to local barometric pressures due to weather and other events. Heck even ejection seats have an altimeter in them that releases the parachute at a certain altitude. And YES pilots are smart! I’ve sat in on pilot briefings and most of the things that they have to know would melt this guy’s brain!
You are correct in the kinds of sensors used, however many aircraft (military and civil, all commercial) do have aFlight Management Computer (FMC), many have 2 or 3 in fact for redundacy, that do indeed have code. The information from all of those sensors is gathered by the FMC and combined with the information entered by the pilot (route, planned altitude, fuel quantity, barometric pressure (QFE/QNH), and more) to produce a safe and efficient flight.
@@ShaolinPunk101 Correct. Paraphrasing Mark Twain, it's MUCH easier to fool someone that to persuade them they've been fooled. Flat Earthers are a great example of this. I've given up with them.

The hardest part of flying is the route planning, navigation, air traffic control procedures, radio calls and emergency procedures when the computers no longer work, keeping the aircraft within set parameters. If it’s so easy then why hasn’t Dan Pratt became an airline pilot?
You gotta be kidding you mean to say that you would trust this guy to transport you and your entire family by Airplane!!!!! jeez you must be as crazy as he is just look in his booze filled eyes to see that the light's are on but no one is home
As a pilot myself, I can assure you that flying an airplane is extremely difficult. It requires constant attention, pitch changes, outside scans, and continuous awareness of what could go wrong and what we will do in such situations. The training is just as difficult, with real life scenarios that are built to promote intense stress and anxiety in order to see how we will react under such circumstances. Furthermore, the certification tests that the FAA put us through are mind numbingly difficult. Because of this rigorous training, you can be assured that your pilots are exceptionally trained and, obviously, none of them believe in this flat earth nonsense.
Would you let a monkey land or plane? Or a 10 year old with 200 hours of simulator experience. I'll tell you what, I'll ride up with you to 30,000 feet, come back and land, Daniel Pratt can take off with a monkey at the controls, go up to 30,000 feet, come back and land. I'll bet him my life savings to do that.
I would like to see a monkey or a ten year old with hundreds of hour training to save this plane: ruclips.net/video/nNR0a4TMxeA/видео.html ...or rather not.
Flights from Perth to Melbourne (west Australia to east Australia) take 3 1/2 hours. Return flights, following the same flight path, take 4 hours and 15 minutes. This is due to the rotation of the earth.
The glorified babysitters that are only there to react to the machines going wrong have made some incredible landings in impossible situations, saving thousands of lives across the years. They are amazing people.
Glorified bus drivers. That was the joke when I was younger. There have a lot of times I was glad Ralph Kramden was up front taking care of things. (Anybody else old enough to know that reference?)
@@HoneyTone-TheSearchContinues Yeah! I'm afraid I do. "Honeymooners".... One of my favorite shows growing up. Gleason was a much underrated actor and Honeymooners wasn't necessarily his best work. The critique of commercial pilots as glorified bus drivers would be true if most pilots made anything remotely close to what actual bus drivers make. They simply do not. A great many pilots make about a third (or less) as actual bus drivers. A situation that can take ten or more years to work out of, into the higher tiers of the trade. If they stay long enough, they can make actual six figures, but before they get there, they work weird irregular hours, and live in crappy room rentals (or with their parents if they're lucky). They continue for ten or more years of such crap because they love to fly. I've been there. I speak from some experience. Any machine can fly you into the ground without remorse. The flight crew is there to intervene when things go wrong, true. But a good pilot is always flying the airplane, even when all he's doing is monitoring the computers. When things do go wrong, you want an actual pilot.... It's way better odds banking on the guy flying wanting to get home as bad as you do, rather than a computer that's just as happy being mangled junk as it is being in charge of a 777.
While there is no specific "code" for correction for the Coriolis effect, it is actually accounted for in most modern Avionics aircraft systems. As others have already mentioned, an AFCC (Automatic Flight Control Computer) gathers its information from other various systems and subsystems within the Avionics suite. One of the Avionics systems that the AFCC heavily relies upon for its information is provided by the Internal Navigation System (INS). The INS provides information to various other Avionics systems via multiple sensors such as accelerometers & rotation sensors (gyroscopes). The INS while generating & providing data, is also receiving data from other Avionics systems such as magnetic heading via magnetometers, pitot and static pressure, GPS information via a GPS receiver, etc. However it's through the gyroscope within the INS, that the Coriolis effect can be measured and is taken into account. So while the AFCC technically doesn't take into account the Coriolis effect, it's because it doesn't have to as the INS has already done so before passing that data onto the AFCC.
When you hear conspiracy theorists talk about their opposition, they always view their opponents as literal Satanists and idiots. They HAVE to have this belief, because it makes them feel better about themselves. The best heroes have the best villains.

I feel a bit sorry for Dan Pratt. Laughing is healthy and all, but being trapped in the mind of a teenage bully who needs to feel superior to others can't be very fulfilling.
A lot of people think that anger is the emotion most closely associated with hatred, but that's not the case. True hatred is actually a combination of disgust and contempt, and when Dan speaks like this his contempt becomes super obvious, exactly as you mentioned. It's that thing he does when he laughs at people he disagrees with, completely and irredeemably dismissing them as somehow "less than" himself. He "knows" he's superior. The disgust is present all over his face, but it can be harder to spot because it's less of an active emotion in his videos. Dan seems truly full of real hatred and it's genuinely very sad. Imagine how much energy that must require. Energy he could put into repairing his relationships or, as the case may be, his doorframes lol.
Under penalties and perjury, i solemnly swear that as a pilot, I do not dip the nose to account for curvature of the Earth. As you said, we fly using a barometer for air pressure to calculate altitude. A decrease in air density results in a loss of lift and just by that, you would never need to adjust for curvature.

Well I’m a pilot. My plane doesn’t even have a computer. We follow a ground track, making any adjustment needed to stay on the ground track. That automatically adjusts for Coriolis.
If I ever needed a rescue while hiking in your area, I'd much rather you be on the team than Pratt. He'd probably end up in Florida. (assuming he didn't crash the plane first.)
That's what these idiots aren't getting. Regardless of whether you're using pilotage or following the magenta line of your GPS, the pilot (or the autopilot) must make constant minute adjustments to stay on course and on altitude. No matter how well you trim your plane, you'll drift up or down eventually. You always have to adjust for wind, turbulence, P-factor, and other things. The adjustments needed for curvature are incredibly tiny, and not noticeable among the myriad of adjustments you're already making. They're indistinguishable from the corrections you already need to maintain altitude. As SciManDan points out, an altimeter works by measuring air pressure. The pressure gradient of the atmosphere automatically follows the curve, because gravity points to the center of the globe. So the altimeter automatically adjusts for the curve. Not because of dedicated code, but because of the very principles it's based on. If you keep altitude, you're following the curve. It isn't an extra step that requires dedicated code or actions on the part of the pilot. The same is true for coriolis. If you follow your ground track, you will adjust for coriolis without even noticing. It's not distinguishable from the adjustments you're already making because of wind etc.
When these flerfs ask this sort of thing about flying a plane, I just ask them, "Which pushes the plane off course more, cross winds or Coriolis forces? Which affects the plane's altitude more, weight changes due to fuel consumption, or earth's curvature?" Oh, you don't know, never did the calculation? Well get back to me once you have.
Well if they were a flerf then the answer to your second question would be the weight, because they don't believe in earth curvature. It's a kinda silly question to ask someone who doesn't believe in the curve though. That would be like asking an atheist "Who is more made up: the Easter Bunny or God?"
@@Xarou To even acknowledge weight has an effect would lead to an acceptance of a downward force (gravity?) which cannot exist on a flat earth. Flerfs excel in their misunderstanding of basic physics. I agree though, asking flerfs any sort of question is an exercise in futility.
@@africansinclair Theoretically gravity could exist on a flat earth, but it would be a lot more complicated. The direction of the force wouldn't be the same at every point on the flat earth. There would be a center of mass so a force pulling you towards that center would exist. But on the outer edge of the disc it would be in a different direction and magnitude compared to if your were standing on the very center of the disc.
I ask why, if there is a dome to keep the air in A. Is it not at equal pressure all the way to the top B. Since it must be equal pressure all the way to the top, why don’t we fly a plane up to where the moon and sun are to find out exactly what they are? And while flying there, why don’t we get a photo of the flat earth. Still Waiting for that picture.
There was a time when Google Translate would translate the sentence, "I am a flat earther" into "I am an idiot" in French. I wish that they had never fixed it.
Because he knows the earth is a globe but he wants to believe its flat so he can feel special. He gets angry when he hears people debunk the flat earth because it pushes him back to the reality that its a globe and if its a globe he isn't special. Oh yeah, almost forgot, I have yet to meet a single pilot that thinks the earth is flat. In fact the flight plans are all calculated based on a global earth. Why would they base flight plans on a global earth if it were really flat? It wouldn't make sense.
I find Dan Praat terrifying to be honest, with his laugh, voice and the angle that he films his videos at. Also, it was... interesting to hear him insult me and the skills that have taken me years to learn. Also, SciManDan, could you possibly debunk old flat earth videos, like the ones that could have "taught" the ones we know today?
As I posted a vid or 2 ago the channel 74 gear has a great proposition on proving to the flat earthers the the earth is round, at least I think it's good. You being a pilot I think you would as well.
In order for that to be true there would have to be some sort of understanding. There is no understanding when Dan Pratt is involved. He's just stupid.
I have several thoughts on this. First off, I could probably show him code that "corrects for Coriolis effect" from the open source flight control software used in FPV drones. But the thing is, there, as with aircraft autopilots, the code doesn't need to be designed specifically to correct for that effect. The flight controller I'm thinking of has a simple GPS navigation ability. It's very simple, much more so than what you may be accustomed to with DJI drones. But the thing is, the code that handles the flight path (not quite heading, but the direction the drone is actually moving) will correct for Coriolis effect anyway. I want to be clear here, it's not got special code that only deals with Coriolis force, but in flying a straight line back to a GPS waypoint it will correct for whatever degree of Coriolis force it experiences, just like it will correct for any wind trying to blow it off course. So technically that's the code that would do what he wants to see. Secondly, our man with the crazy eyes is barking up the wrong tree. While autopilots may not need to correct for it specifically, the ballistic computers that aim unguided guns do need to correct for it. Now I can't exactly show off the ballistic computer for a navy destroyer, but long range rifle shooters use ballistic computers too, and at the extremes they correct for Coriolis as well. Mr Pratt may want to ask himself why those ballistic calculators need to take into account the latitude and longitude of the shooter. On a stationary, flat earth, those numbers are irrelevant. Are all competition shooters in on the conspiracy as well? And you know what's funny? I was looking around for RUclips demonstrations of that, and I found the comments of videos that attempted to address the subject infested with flat earthers aggressively denying everything. It seems that anyone who has to deal with the Coriolis force in any way is now seen as an enemy that has to be attacked.
I'd love to watch the video about the rifles if you know what the title is or what's best to search? It'd be pretty interesting if you could point me in the right direction of which you saw.
If that guy thinks a monkey could fly a plane or a 10 year old with time on a flightsimulator.. Why doesn't he just become a pilot then? Why is he still stacking butter in the local supermarket?
"1 Million dollars! " " But Dr Evil, don't you realise that's not really much money these days?" Sorry, couldn't help myself. I rewatched an Austin Powers movie recently lol.
“Pilots are only there to react when the computer fails”……yes - exactly. When multiple backup computing systems can’t figure out how to keep the plane from crashing - a brilliant pilot will solve the problem. Quite a brain they have to do that. THAT’S what they are paid for.
That’s the one thing that isn’t true in this video. Pilots are not that brilliant. Capitalism demands the cheapest labor. The airline industry is no different
@@MrShanester117 So by that logic a heart surgeon isn't brilliant. Specialists will always exist and be needed. Cheapest labor, does not really mean cheap. You may pay 1 surgeon less then another but they are still both making 150K+ a year. Pilots usually make over 50K+ a year, sometimes making over 100k a year. Do you really think they aren't intelligent and qualified if they are making that kind of money?
This. This guy's comment about a monkey being able to "pilot" a plane is probably true in 80% of cases ish, but pilots are not paid for the 80% of cases where the autopilot can do the job itself. They are paid for when the autopilot becomes dangerous / unusable, such as landing in extreme winds.
@@MrShanester117 "Capitalism demands the cheapest labor." TRUE! VERY TRUE! "The airline industry is no different" TRUE! VERY TRUE! However, "Pilots are not that brilliant" NOT true. Even the dumbest pilot (due to capitalism) is amazingly brilliant to be able to land an airplane, or do anything with an airplane, other than crash it!
These days we have open source hardware and software systems like ArduPilot that support features like GPS route planning. By calculating routes using spherical coordinate systems based on latitude, longitude and elevation they are using a network of satellites to conform to the shape of the Earth. Of course any Flerf would just deny all that even if they were looking right at the code.
The bell curve is real. Think about it, how intelligent is the average person? Now realise that a large percentage of the population is lower than average.
I'd like to see the software installed in cars to adjust for the curvature of hills. That, or a driver that makes adjustments to not fly off after reaching the top.
Why is he so angry? I feel like I'm being yelled at. He should use that "million dollars" for anger management. What's wrong with him? He makes me feel really uncomfortable.

Dude, he bought into a lie, made himself look super stupid and instead of backing out he only dug deeper. You would also be angry if you'd back yourself into a corner like that
It's incredible how sometimes you can get the measure of a man's intelligence (or lack thereof) just by watching his face and listening to his voice. Not the words themselves, because anyone could potentially say anything, just listening to the cadence of his speech
A: "I only believe what my eyes tells me, and the earth looks flat to me. So it is flat" B: "Hi, have a look through my telescope and look at the moon, and tell me what your eyes tell you" A "It looks like a rock" B: "Then what is it" A: "A light" B: 🤦🏼

I'm a long range shooter. We routinely adjust for the coriolis effect for long range shots. When the flight time of your bullet is 1 second, the surface of the earth moves 101 feet in that second. Depending on the direction you're shooting, if you fail to correct for the coriolis effect that means you can miss by up to 101 feet. Anyone can duplicate this any time and it doesn't require "rocket science". It just requires repeated observation and a knowledge of the mathematics of ballistics. I'm not a pilot and I don't need to be one to see this work every time I try it.
That’s cool!! I’m pretty sure if these guys actually wanted to know the truth, they could do a couple google searches and find it!

My sister dated a guy who is now an air force pilot, for planes. I was great friends with him. When he first applied for the RNZAF I was happy for him. He applied as a helicopter pilot. He failed. He later applied as a plane pilot and got in, and he's doing well. I asked him what's up and he said that piloting a helicopter is much harder than a plane and they only take a few people for it.

Besides, the flight computer simply maintains a constant altitude, which is measured by the altimeter using air pressure...which by its very nature means the flight computer makes minute adjustments to the plane's pitch to keep it within the altitude it's been programmed to maintain.

@NiceGuy You never played with magnets?
@NiceGuy Tried linking the answer. it was deleted twice. Here's a copy and paste.
Convention, and no other reason.
Original directions were based on the spin of the earth (or, more accurately, the movement of the sun). Where the sun rises was called "east" and where it sets is called "west". "North" and "South" were defined entirely in relation to those. Early maps didn't have the convention of placing north on top. Once the magnetic compass was developed, north and south became more convenient to work in relation to. And, once we realized the earth was round, the poles made more sense as fixed points (there is no ultimate east or west, but the north and south poles are absolute points).
Now, why did north end up on top of the map instead of south? Once again, convention and tradition. Most of the cartographers from whom our modern maps descend were Eurasian. Since they lived north of the equator, it became common for them to put their own location on top of the map, which meant that south was at the bottom. The people who lived south of the equator had little influence, so if they objected, no one paid attention.
Eventually that concept hardened up, until it became so ingrained that few people question it anymore. Most navigation and geography is based on the assumption that north is at the top of the map, and changing that way of thinking would be massively difficult and accomplish little. To be fair, the majority of the earth's landmass and 90% of the earth's population live north of the equator.
@NiceGuy That makes literally no sense. By your reasoning, they wouldn't be called North or South because that would be illogical. They would have completely different titles, such as Centre Point and Circumference.
Pilot here. An FAA handbook titled “airplane flying handbook” clearly states that use of automation can easily make pilots complacent. Autopilots are there to help pilots fly, not fly for them. Also, some planes don’t even have autopilot systems!

If my car goes up a hill on cruise control, it simply increases engine power to keep the speed constant. The is no code based on calculating the effect of gravity on slowing the car.
That is the magic code he is banging on about.
He fails to grasp that it is not doing a specific task of adjusting for curve. It is keeping the plane in a specific pressure region for fuel efficiency and/or comfort of the passenger.
Just coincidentally,,, the air pressure at the given height will be roughly the same at any point around the globe so the plane is doing it but in a very simplifed way.

The answer is: Mu.
In Robert M. Pirsig's 1974 novel Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, mu is translated as "no thing", saying that it meant "unask the question".
The word features prominently with a similar meaning in Douglas Hofstadter's 1979 book, Gödel, Escher, Bach. It is used fancifully in discussions of symbolic logic, particularly Gödel's incompleteness theorems, to indicate a question whose "answer" is to either un-ask the question, indicate the question is fundamentally flawed, or reject the premise that a dualistic answer can be given.
"Mu" may be used similarly to "N/A" or "not applicable," a term often used to indicate the question cannot be answered because the conditions of the question do not match the reality. A layperson's example of this concept is often invoked by the loaded question "Have you stopped beating your wife?", to which "mu" would be the only respectable response.

“I worked AROUND planes for 3 years” What a clown!
I was an aviation mechanic in the Marine Corps for 14 years (2001-2015) and this guy is way off the mark! I’ve worked on C-130s, F-18s, Hueys, Cobra’s and a few others, and I can tell you there is NO code. None like this clown is talking about anyway. SciManDan is spot on in his explanation!
Most instruments gather data by means of many tools on an aircraft. Speed for instance is calculated using air pressures that flow into pitot tubes and over static ports. The 2 pressures are calculated together and you get the speed. Altitude can be determined by use of radar altimeters or by the more commonly used barometric altimeter! Barometric altimeters have small bellows inside that inflate or deflate based on the surrounding pressures. Barometric altimeters also have a knob on them to allow pilots to make adjustments related to local barometric pressures due to weather and other events. Heck even ejection seats have an altimeter in them that releases the parachute at a certain altitude.
And YES pilots are smart! I’ve sat in on pilot briefings and most of the things that they have to know would melt this guy’s brain!
You are correct in the kinds of sensors used, however many aircraft (military and civil, all commercial) do have aFlight Management Computer (FMC), many have 2 or 3 in fact for redundacy, that do indeed have code. The information from all of those sensors is gathered by the FMC and combined with the information entered by the pilot (route, planned altitude, fuel quantity, barometric pressure (QFE/QNH), and more) to produce a safe and efficient flight.

As a pilot myself, I can assure you that flying an airplane is extremely difficult. It requires constant attention, pitch changes, outside scans, and continuous awareness of what could go wrong and what we will do in such situations. The training is just as difficult, with real life scenarios that are built to promote intense stress and anxiety in order to see how we will react under such circumstances. Furthermore, the certification tests that the FAA put us through are mind numbingly difficult. Because of this rigorous training, you can be assured that your pilots are exceptionally trained and, obviously, none of them believe in this flat earth nonsense.
Would you let a monkey land or plane? Or a 10 year old with 200 hours of simulator experience.

The critique of commercial pilots as glorified bus drivers would be true if most pilots made anything remotely close to what actual bus drivers make. They simply do not. A great many pilots make about a third (or less) as actual bus drivers. A situation that can take ten or more years to work out of, into the higher tiers of the trade. If they stay long enough, they can make actual six figures, but before they get there, they work weird irregular hours, and live in crappy room rentals (or with their parents if they're lucky). They continue for ten or more years of such crap because they love to fly. I've been there. I speak from some experience. Any machine can fly you into the ground without remorse. The flight crew is there to intervene when things go wrong, true. But a good pilot is always flying the airplane, even when all he's doing is monitoring the computers. When things do go wrong, you want an actual pilot.... It's way better odds banking on the guy flying wanting to get home as bad as you do, rather than a computer that's just as happy being mangled junk as it is being in charge of a 777.
While there is no specific "code" for correction for the Coriolis effect, it is actually accounted for in most modern Avionics aircraft systems. As others have already mentioned, an AFCC (Automatic Flight Control Computer) gathers its information from other various systems and subsystems within the Avionics suite.
One of the Avionics systems that the AFCC heavily relies upon for its information is provided by the Internal Navigation System (INS). The INS provides information to various other Avionics systems via multiple sensors such as accelerometers & rotation sensors (gyroscopes). The INS while generating & providing data, is also receiving data from other Avionics systems such as magnetic heading via magnetometers, pitot and static pressure, GPS information via a GPS receiver, etc. However it's through the gyroscope within the INS, that the Coriolis effect can be measured and is taken into account.
So while the AFCC technically doesn't take into account the Coriolis effect, it's because it doesn't have to as the INS has already done so before passing that data onto the AFCC.

A lot of people think that anger is the emotion most closely associated with hatred, but that's not the case. True hatred is actually a combination of disgust and contempt, and when Dan speaks like this his contempt becomes super obvious, exactly as you mentioned. It's that thing he does when he laughs at people he disagrees with, completely and irredeemably dismissing them as somehow "less than" himself. He "knows" he's superior. The disgust is present all over his face, but it can be harder to spot because it's less of an active emotion in his videos. Dan seems truly full of real hatred and it's genuinely very sad. Imagine how much energy that must require. Energy he could put into repairing his relationships or, as the case may be, his doorframes lol.

Under penalties and perjury, i solemnly swear that as a pilot, I do not dip the nose to account for curvature of the Earth. As you said, we fly using a barometer for air pressure to calculate altitude. A decrease in air density results in a loss of lift and just by that, you would never need to adjust for curvature. The simple, power + attitude = performance. The powered being constant and the attitude (visual reference outside the windscreen in regards to the horizon) is set for straight and level and you will get a set performance being speed and altitude.

He does remind me slightly of an Innsmouth resident...
Well I’m a pilot. My plane doesn’t even have a computer. We follow a ground track, making any adjustment needed to stay on the ground track. That automatically adjusts for Coriolis.
If I ever needed a rescue while hiking in your area, I'd much rather you be on the team than Pratt. He'd probably end up in Florida. (assuming he didn't crash the plane first.)
That's what these idiots aren't getting. Regardless of whether you're using pilotage or following the magenta line of your GPS, the pilot (or the autopilot) must make constant minute adjustments to stay on course and on altitude. No matter how well you trim your plane, you'll drift up or down eventually. You always have to adjust for wind, turbulence, P-factor, and other things.
The adjustments needed for curvature are incredibly tiny, and not noticeable among the myriad of adjustments you're already making. They're indistinguishable from the corrections you already need to maintain altitude.
As SciManDan points out, an altimeter works by measuring air pressure. The pressure gradient of the atmosphere automatically follows the curve, because gravity points to the center of the globe. So the altimeter automatically adjusts for the curve. Not because of dedicated code, but because of the very principles it's based on. If you keep altitude, you're following the curve. It isn't an extra step that requires dedicated code or actions on the part of the pilot.
The same is true for coriolis. If you follow your ground track, you will adjust for coriolis without even noticing. It's not distinguishable from the adjustments you're already making because of wind etc.
He is sitting next to his hot water heater as everyone else in the house has had enough of his idiotic behavior.
When these flerfs ask this sort of thing about flying a plane, I just ask them, "Which pushes the plane off course more, cross winds or Coriolis forces? Which affects the plane's altitude more, weight changes due to fuel consumption, or earth's curvature?" Oh, you don't know, never did the calculation? Well get back to me once you have.
Well if they were a flerf then the answer to your second question would be the weight, because they don't believe in earth curvature. It's a kinda silly question to ask someone who doesn't believe in the curve though. That would be like asking an atheist "Who is more made up: the Easter Bunny or God?"
@@Xarou To even acknowledge weight has an effect would lead to an acceptance of a downward force (gravity?) which cannot exist on a flat earth. Flerfs excel in their misunderstanding of basic physics. I agree though, asking flerfs any sort of question is an exercise in futility.
@@africansinclair Theoretically gravity could exist on a flat earth, but it would be a lot more complicated. The direction of the force wouldn't be the same at every point on the flat earth. There would be a center of mass so a force pulling you towards that center would exist. But on the outer edge of the disc it would be in a different direction and magnitude compared to if your were standing on the very center of the disc.
I ask why, if there is a dome to keep the air in
A. Is it not at equal pressure all the way to the top
B. Since it must be equal pressure all the way to the top, why don’t we fly a plane up to where the moon and sun are to find out exactly what they are? And while flying there, why don’t we get a photo of the flat earth.
Still Waiting for that picture.
@@terryfuldsgaming7995 your logical explanations have no place in the flat earth fantasy. Lol
By his logic, we should send kids to war as they have spent time playing COD.
Shouldn’t we though?
@@elee9682 I'm pretty sure the lobby banter would be considered a war crime
Only those with a good k/d ratio.
we already do that...
You lost me at "logic" LOL
"Say you're stupid without saying that you're stupid"
"I'm a flat earther"

There was a time when Google Translate would translate the sentence, "I am a flat earther" into "I am an idiot" in French.
I wish that they had never fixed it.
@@Mandelbrot_Set Are you serious? LOL!!
@@theultimatereductionist7592 Yes, it used to do that. I even had a French speaker verify it.
I see no difference
You can see the pain in his eyes. It's a cry for help. He's trapped in the prison that is his mind and no longer knows how to escape.
If this guy has 1 million dollars then I'm part of the Royal family.
Greetings your highness!
Hey.... wait a minute!
He won it playing Monopoly with his kids.
Why can't he just chill out? He's just in a constant state of angry.
It is a wonder that he is not green🤣
Because he knows the earth is a globe but he wants to believe its flat so he can feel special. He gets angry when he hears people debunk the flat earth because it pushes him back to the reality that its a globe and if its a globe he isn't special.
Oh yeah, almost forgot, I have yet to meet a single pilot that thinks the earth is flat. In fact the flight plans are all calculated based on a global earth. Why would they base flight plans on a global earth if it were really flat? It wouldn't make sense.
Because deep down he knows his beliefs and his entire life is a fraudulent lie
@RAYfighter No one is born entirely stupid. It's mostly a part of how you're raised
He's a flat earther.
I find Dan Praat terrifying to be honest, with his laugh, voice and the angle that he films his videos at. Also, it was... interesting to hear him insult me and the skills that have taken me years to learn.
Also, SciManDan, could you possibly debunk old flat earth videos, like the ones that could have "taught" the ones we know today?
As I posted a vid or 2 ago the channel 74 gear has a great proposition on proving to the flat earthers the the earth is round, at least I think it's good. You being a pilot I think you would as well.
Imagine his poor, downtrodden wifey thing for a mouse!
He sounds like he smoked a pack a day and got Covid
How is he insulting you? He's referring to Wolfie6020.
@@romithromith He's referring to all pilots when he says a monkey or a 10 year old could do their job.
Honestly, the more I watched this, the more I felt bad as the guy clearly has some emotional issues.

In order for that to be true there would have to be some sort of understanding. There is no understanding when Dan Pratt is involved. He's just stupid.
I'm gonna miss that Daniel Pratt cackle when he's finally institutionalized.
He'll need visitors...
I have several thoughts on this. First off, I could probably show him code that "corrects for Coriolis effect" from the open source flight control software used in FPV drones. But the thing is, there, as with aircraft autopilots, the code doesn't need to be designed specifically to correct for that effect. The flight controller I'm thinking of has a simple GPS navigation ability. It's very simple, much more so than what you may be accustomed to with DJI drones. But the thing is, the code that handles the flight path (not quite heading, but the direction the drone is actually moving) will correct for Coriolis effect anyway. I want to be clear here, it's not got special code that only deals with Coriolis force, but in flying a straight line back to a GPS waypoint it will correct for whatever degree of Coriolis force it experiences, just like it will correct for any wind trying to blow it off course. So technically that's the code that would do what he wants to see.
Secondly, our man with the crazy eyes is barking up the wrong tree. While autopilots may not need to correct for it specifically, the ballistic computers that aim unguided guns do need to correct for it. Now I can't exactly show off the ballistic computer for a navy destroyer, but long range rifle shooters use ballistic computers too, and at the extremes they correct for Coriolis as well. Mr Pratt may want to ask himself why those ballistic calculators need to take into account the latitude and longitude of the shooter. On a stationary, flat earth, those numbers are irrelevant. Are all competition shooters in on the conspiracy as well?
And you know what's funny? I was looking around for RUclips demonstrations of that, and I found the comments of videos that attempted to address the subject infested with flat earthers aggressively denying everything. It seems that anyone who has to deal with the Coriolis force in any way is now seen as an enemy that has to be attacked.
Why do snipers have to adjust for the coriolis effect (hitting the target) and not pilots (landing a plane)?
@@davechristensen2482 Well, pilots can steer the plane as they go. Snipers can't steer their bullets.
@@DudeTheMighty Excuse me, have you ever seen Wanted?!?! /s
@@DudeTheMighty Not yet, anyways. DARPA has a prototype for a steerable .50 cal round, which is both amazing and scary lol
I'd love to watch the video about the rifles if you know what the title is or what's best to search? It'd be pretty interesting if you could point me in the right direction of which you saw.
If that guy thinks a monkey could fly a plane or a 10 year old with time on a flightsimulator.. Why doesn't he just become a pilot then? Why is he still stacking butter in the local supermarket?
"1 Million dollars! "
" But Dr Evil, don't you realise that's not really much money these days?"
Sorry, couldn't help myself. I rewatched an Austin Powers movie recently lol.
"ONE MILLION DOLLARS... muhahaHAHAHA" ...and the pinky-gesture :'D
too good! love it.
Ohh, yes!
Was coming to the comments to add something similar!
“Pilots are only there to react when the computer fails”……yes - exactly. When multiple backup computing systems can’t figure out how to keep the plane from crashing - a brilliant pilot will solve the problem. Quite a brain they have to do that. THAT’S what they are paid for.
That’s the one thing that isn’t true in this video. Pilots are not that brilliant. Capitalism demands the cheapest labor. The airline industry is no different
@@MrShanester117 So by that logic a heart surgeon isn't brilliant.
Specialists will always exist and be needed. Cheapest labor, does not really mean cheap. You may pay 1 surgeon less then another but they are still both making 150K+ a year.
Pilots usually make over 50K+ a year, sometimes making over 100k a year. Do you really think they aren't intelligent and qualified if they are making that kind of money?
@@Watcher-in-the-Dark Haven't you read his comment? He absolutely does believe that.
This. This guy's comment about a monkey being able to "pilot" a plane is probably true in 80% of cases ish, but pilots are not paid for the 80% of cases where the autopilot can do the job itself. They are paid for when the autopilot becomes dangerous / unusable, such as landing in extreme winds.
@@MrShanester117 "Capitalism demands the cheapest labor."
TRUE! VERY TRUE!
"The airline industry is no different"
TRUE! VERY TRUE!
However, "Pilots are not that brilliant" NOT true.
Even the dumbest pilot (due to capitalism) is amazingly brilliant to be able to land an airplane, or do anything with an airplane, other than crash it!
Yes sitting on the floor in your boiler cupboard screaming into your phone definitely doesn’t make him seem crazy. The extra wide eyes help too… 🤣
These days we have open source hardware and software systems like ArduPilot that support features like GPS route planning. By calculating routes using spherical coordinate systems based on latitude, longitude and elevation they are using a network of satellites to conform to the shape of the Earth. Of course any Flerf would just deny all that even if they were looking right at the code.
It pains my heart to know there are people in the world like this
What you said!!!!
I find it quite scary...
I agree to some extent, but people like this help me feel better about myself.
@@hellsdeathmachine I agree
The bell curve is real. Think about it, how intelligent is the average person? Now realise that a large percentage of the population is lower than average.
I'd like to see the software installed in cars to adjust for the curvature of hills. That, or a driver that makes adjustments to not fly off after reaching the top.
Why is he so angry? I feel like I'm being yelled at. He should use that "million dollars" for anger management. What's wrong with him? He makes me feel really uncomfortable.
His flawed view of the world that tells him that he's a special and unique snowflake is trembling in the face of actual fact. He's terrified of being nothing but decaying organic matter like the rest of us, so he's lashing out.
he most def has a woman tied up in that basement...
The lasting effect of too many mind altering substances taken when you're younger.
Dude, he bought into a lie, made himself look super stupid and instead of backing out he only dug deeper. You would also be angry if you'd back yourself into a corner like that
@Helen M
You're not alone - he makes everyone uncomfortable.
He's got 'spree shooter' written all over him.
The Fkat Earther depicted radiated madness.
Imagine you’re his mom and hearing him yelling and creepy laughing by himself in her basement.
You lock that door....she did.

@@catschrodinger8307 I think Dan missed the point when his mum said he was "special.

It's incredible how sometimes you can get the measure of a man's intelligence (or lack thereof) just by watching his face and listening to his voice. Not the words themselves, because anyone could potentially say anything, just listening to the cadence of his speech
It's through haircut that's killing me
You can hide that pretty well, just see politicians.
A: "I only believe what my eyes tells me, and the earth looks flat to me. So it is flat"
B: "Hi, have a look through my telescope and look at the moon, and tell me what your eyes tell you"
A "It looks like a rock"
B: "Then what is it"
A: "A light"
B: 🤦🏼
How can they believe in air, and oxygen if they can't see it?
While watching this video I went gradually from feeling angry and wanting to slap some sense into this guy to genuinely feeling sorry for him, totally deluded and lost the plot! I hope he gets help and one day finds peace😔
