Mod Edited to reinforce that content across the forum is mostly designed for Flight Simulator. Real-life Aviation exists for real pet co-pilots/pax.
This is the thread to post pictures of your cats, wherever virtual or real. Whether your cat loves to fly or prefers to sit on your keyboard every time you try to fly… Post pictures of them in the planes they fly in and of the places they go.
In this thread we love all cats! (Dogs are seriously off topic here.)
To get started here’s my kitty copilot having a very comfortable ride in our Comanche.
A kind reminder that #gd-commsupport:real-life-aviation exists for real world screenshots. The majority of the forum is designated for the subject of MS Flight Simulator. Thank you.
Not that I know of but we can help each other out here by documenting what we find.
A2A Comanche yes if you enable copilot.
Fenix A320 no.
SWS Kodiak yes IIRC.
A Beechcraft BE20 King Air pilot filed it after an aircraft upset in flight while transporting passengers and their pet dogs.
“About 10 minutes after passing the last thunderstorm cell,” he wrote, “we hit a small, violent, ice-laden cell.”
The flight crew hadn’t seen the cell on their radar. Everybody on board was thrown abruptly up and then down as extreme turbulence from the cell plummeted the aircraft down 1,000′ and then rocketed it up 1,000′ almost instantaneously.
After recovering and notifying air traffic control of the reason for their altitude excursion, the pilot sent his co-pilot aft to check on and assist the passengers. The passengers had kept their seatbelts on, so were largely unhurt. The same couldn’t be said for their pets.
“The larger dog had broken its spine and was killed by violent roof/floor impact,” he wrote.
