What ? They scare the new citizens is it?

I think the password is only needed for upgrading and maintenance. It's not like you need it to fly. US cannot shut down the plane during flight.

 

[Tloslm]

Yes. Need passcodes to start F35

 

[jericho75]

Maybe need funworld tokens. Then got time extension.

me is tiagong during morning ops brief, the CO will give out the password for the day.

It seems the password is 16 characters long and includes uppercase, lowercase, numeric, and special characters. Everyone must memorize it, as copying it down for reference is not allowed.

Is there forget password option? Or eject after 3 failed attempts?

They sit SQ over get password then come back.

I used to be an RSAF NS technician at TAB, but due to the ISA and state secrets, I am unable to disclose any information about the RSAF or its operations.

Ok, thanks for telling us that the F35 password thing is true.

If he asks you to jump off building, would you do that too?

F-35 requires a daily pin code provided locally to operate. This is not the password provided by US for upgrades and maintenance.
