Hot photo use reminder!!

[zwilk18]

Hey guys, one more quick question about this topic. If the only photo for an aircraft is an interior/cockpit photo, uploading an exterior picture of the aircraft does not qualify as hot right?

[zwilk18]

To answer your question anything that changes for an aircraft such as it being repainted, winglets added, registration changed to another aircraft, removal of a sticker all qualify as a hot photograph. For example if say you capture a Southwest aircraft which has been repainted that qualifies as hot. Hopefully that answers your question.

Explains it perfectly. My eyes must have just not registered that portion of the upload guidelines. Thank you for your time.

All you have to do, is read the guidelines before uploading a picture. It is so simple.

So once more, for those who have trouble understanding the meaning of a HOT photo, here is what the guidelines say.

Thank you. For some reason my eyes just read over that portion of the upload guidelines. I just wanted to be sure before labeling anything as a hot photo. Thank you for your time.

Do you know how many pics we have to Instantly reject everysingle day for "Invalid Hot"? We understand that you want to cut the line and have your pic screened fresh from the oven, but "hot" reasons such as "It's the best pic of the plane ever taken" or "Because I took it" e.t.c. not only will make you wait another 10 or more days of waiting to be normally screened and in 99,9% of the cases to be rejected, as we mostly get hot pics like these form new uploaders with minimum photography and editing experience, but the add burden to the already long queue and the crew.

I always instantly reject such pics, leaving a message to the uploader "Please, ALLWAYS read the guidelines regarding hot uploads, before uploading a picture, PLEASE !!!". If he reads it or not, it is his/her problem.

So once more, for those who have trouble understanding the meaning of a HOT photo, here is what the guidelines say.

2.5 Hot Photo


The following will be accepted as hot for 48 hours after the first photo got accepted:


1. New aircraft type produced by a manufacturer. (including subtypes)
2. New aircraft type / subtype for an airline or air force. (including roll-outs or test flights at the factory)
3. First appearance of a new airline colour scheme. (incl. for all subtypes)
4. First appearance of a special scheme for an airline or air force. Air force special scheme must be at least a full tail marking or similar size on the fuselage. (also for subtypes). Airline special scheme includes all alliance schemes such as Star Alliance, One World etc.
5. Other Newsworthy events at the discretion of the screening team. (typical hand over ceremonies, promotion tours by new airliner types,..)
6. photos of airliners with a registration not in the database will count as hot. (the 48h hours guideline will not apply to those)
7. Please note that new routes are not considered as hot.




Hot photos for which the 48 hour guideline does not apply


In order to improve the cooperation with FlightRadar24 and have the most up to date photo available for the FlightRadar24 site the following will be accepted as hot for the first photo accepted only.


1. A new delivery of an aircraft type that already exists in the fleet.
2. An existing aircraft in the fleet that is repainted in a new colour scheme.
3. Any change to the colour scheme (for example: removal of a special scheme, new stickers) or to the aircraft itself (Winglets, Sharklets) - Note that this is only valid for active aircraft
4. Photo of an airliner with a registration not in the database or re-use of a registration for a new airframe


Remember, these are hot only for the first accepted image.

I have read through the regs about what qualifies as a hot photo where having a new registration obviously does. However, where I see some grey area is a photo with a new paint scheme or a new plane with the same registration. I have noticed a few photos that seem to be accepted as hot even though they technically there is a photo for that registration. Could I just get some clarification on this?

Hello Dears,

I have a question about hot photo. I made a photo in the first few minutes of a New Year with fireworks from an airplane. Airplane is not new registration.
Can I upload this as a hot photo?

That doesnt qualify as hot.

Hi! Just want to clarify something. Aer Lingus now have 2 RJ85s from Cityjet and are in Aer Lingus livery. One of them already has a picture on JP but the other does not and is still shown with CityJet livery. Would this with the Aer Lingus livery be a hot photo?

Yes.

Dear friends,
I ask on behalf of several colleagues from Israel:

After you have already accepted one "Hot Photo" from the departure of the new EL-AL's Retro jet on the way to Israel, is also one photo or more from Israel during the landing can be considered as hot shot?

We are all here [and me personally of course] will be happy to receive clarification, Thanks in advance.

Please read 2.5 Hot Photo in the Upload Guidelines.

"The following will be accepted as hot for 48 hours after the first photo got accepted:

...

4. First appearance of a special scheme for an airline or air force."
