Wingview rejected for Bad Location

[coke]

Hello all,

Just recently, I got this wingview rejected for Bad Location:

http://www.jetphotos.net/viewreject_b.php?id=3619476

It was taken rather shortly after takeoff. So I put the location as SeaTac Int'l Airport, KSEA

It was rejected, and I assume the screener wants it as In Flight, USA - Washington

But look at these examples in JP.net database:

http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=7221631&nseq=67

http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=7228581&nseq=3

They are all wingviews in flight, with the airport nowhere in sight.

So what's the deal here?

I am thinking about appealing this rejection.

And, if a photo does constitute as In Flight, how does one put that into the photo upload form?

Best regards,

Jerry

My argument would be that y'all were already far enough away to allow for a clean wing to be seen, which in the others, they still have the flaps extended.
As for uploading inflight, click on the "show menu" button, select USA-Washington, and for the location/airport, early in the list is inflight.

Ryan's answer is correct as is your assumption re: Inflight USA Washington.

Of the three examples you give 1 and 3 should also have been rejected for location. 2 is correct as the airfield is in sight. There is a taxiway middle right.

I do not mean to complicate issues but consider the following image

To get this view, the aircraft I am on, is within the airport's perimeter just short of runway 24R. The image did not show a view of KLAX so I opted to use the inflight option.

Same airport as Chris Kilroy's shot, different runway I still used the inflight option as KLAS is not really visible.

In my opinion, moving on the ground you are safe using the airport as your location. As long as you are in flight use that option. I hope these were of some help to you, for me it was a tug-of -war deciding before I uploaded the images as there is definitely a grey area out there.

Oooh, thanks Brian. I understand now. So I guess it's really just the screener's feelings towards whether the location is correct or not?

Will reupload that photo in the queue with correct location info.

Thanks guys
