JFK to LAX, any % of passengers.
If it was any% of plane, there are some creative launching strategies we could explore.
Boeing has entered the chat
Does the run end when you touch the ground, or do you have to actually make it to the gate?
With the new gateless skip it’s basically the same exact time. You clip right into the gate
Literally just gun it towards the landing strip at full speed to save one framerule
Used to lead big hikes. We had an “80% return rate is good”. Partial bodies counted.
Yes, this was a joke for attendees.
Southwest Airlines pays their pilots a bonus for every minute they block in early.
Guess who has a reputation for bugging ATC for shortcuts and taxiing really fast.
Spirit?
Aha, I knew it! Flight attendants get paid per ‘flight’ hour and the pilots get bonuses to reduce the amount of time the attendants are paid for. That’s fucked up
Ooooh, so that’s why I saw a plane doing janky backwards jumps before being flung off into the sky.
Hey guys desinc here, today I’m gonna show you some tricks and glitches in real life
click uh, ladies and gentlemen this is your Captain speaking. Wha. Hoo hoo. Yahoooo! Yahoo! Yah! Yayayayaya! click
(Edit: wrong sound)
Down with the tailwind?
Whoops, I had the wrong sound Mario. Fixed.
Sometimes I like to speedrun deliveries in American Truck Simulator. Turn off fatigue (roleplay my driver as addicted to energy drinks and cocaine and pees in bottles) and drive at 105 mph (168.981 km/hr) halfway across the country.
Get there 3 days early, because faster deliveries means more Value® to the shareholders.
I definitely enjoyed when trucks showed up 3 days earlier than they were supposed to when i ran a shipping dock. It definitely didn’t fuck up our whole system, no way.

If you aren’t providing Value® the shareholders. You have to ask yourself, “Am I good employee?”
Collision detection isn’t perfect. If you save and load just at the right time while moving forwards you can sometimes clip through walls. So walls are basically just a suggestion. The only problem is that if you mess it up, you die and loose time due to the unskippable death animation…
But no one messes that trick up right?
So what im hearing is that 9/11 was a messed up speed run?
That’s debatable. While they were initially going for the clip glitch, they ended up discovering a wrong warp.
I hate being a pedant, but I hate this common mistake more.

If you edit your post I’ll straight up delete this comment ♥️
What’s wrong with living in loose time
If you die on the same frame as falling down a hole and the screen transitions, it increments the submode which results in a broken mode-submode combination. The room number in RAM changes to that of the room below, however it is never loaded. Thus, transitioning north places you in the room north of the room below this one, from which you can jump through a wall to activate EG. This also underflows the room number from 10 to 250 which causes all sprites to despawn, including the mantle blocking the sewers in Escape.
The Book of Superskuj, 753:12-15
I read that in desync’s voice
Ladies and gentelmen this is your pilot speaking, I’ve gone ahead and put the seat belt lights back on because Marlons a fucking showoff and thinks he so great. Buckle up and hold tight.
Do they allow clipping? Or is that a different category?
Not since that failed attempt.
Ah I’ve always wanted to fly to Backrooms Airport
Fair haha.
What’s clipping?
in speed running computer games clipping is normally clipping out of the defined boundaries of the environment into areas that the developers did not intend.
Thanks for the explanation, you were quicker than me with a response.
I’m assuming getting all your passengers there is considered a 100% run. I think the players branching out into lower % runs will open up some pretty big time savings and make for much more interesting runs.
you can take off as soon as the first passenger steps into the plane for a massive time save
Low%, get to your destination with as few passengers and plane parts remaining as possible
Block time (airlines calculate it differently) was traditionally viewed from “block to block”, the time the wheel chocks were removed for the aircraft to move under its own power for departure to the time the wheel chocks were put back under the wheels at destination. Now it just means what the airline thinks the flight time will be for scheduling purposes.
As a passenger, this is what you see when your app tells you the flight time. It includes taxi out and taxi in.
Delay-prone flights are often over blocked, so a perfectly delay-free flight (push, taxi, takeoff, fly, land, taxi in, park) that takes say an hour and a half total might me blocked for 1:50 because historically one of the airports might be busy at that time an they know there will be a long taxi, gate holds, whatever.
So sometimes fate smiles on everyone and you get to leave early, miss whatever built in delays there might be planned, ATC gives you a couple shortcuts, a favorable wind, and bam, you’re in 30 minutes early.
So not really a speed run, just lots of luck.
oh like a flipped bit isn’t also lots of luck
No no no, that’s only 52 minutes early. He left 2 minutes before the scheduled start time. Quit trying to boost your stats, man!
Me farming gold 10 seconds before the match ends to look good on the stats screen:
New York to Atlanta any% run.
(That’s not a very long flight so 54 minutes is actually pretty impressive.)
<Pilots start looking for glitches>
Hmm, after reading my contract carefully, there’s nothing in there that explicitly says I actually have to wait for the passengers and baggage to be loaded before taking off…
Just type in the 7500 cheatcode and you can take shortcuts through military airspace.
You spend a lot of time climbing and descending plus the higher you are, the more distance you cover traveling to any location. The trick is to fly as close as possible to the ground.
Air is denser the lower you are in the atmosphere so a plane’s cruise speed is actually a lot lower at 1000 feet than at 30,000 feet.
So the optimal altitude to climb to and fly at most of the flight for shortest possible flight time depends on distance (since it’s a balance between climb time, descent time and speed at the cruise altitude) as well as on the direction of the wind at the cruise altitude since a tail wind will actually help getting there faster (so a choice of a lower cruise altitude might yield a better time because the wind is in the right direction there even though the air is a bit denser lower down).
This is of course all theoretical since commercial planes don’t get much choice in terms of the cruise altitude for their flight.
Last time I tried instant engine shutdown + nosedive + full throttle turn on when taking off, my plane crashed and slid at mach1 on the runway. I don’t recommend that strategy.
One simple trick to arrive an hour ahead of schedule!
ATC hates him
