Open ranking

An Aviator propwash method I still trust

Most ranking pages fail the same way: they need a number, so they invent one. This note is how I keep Nguyen Gaming from doing that while still publishing a useful Aviator shortlist.

Start from the build, not the chart

Each title on this desk is a local HTML5 build under /play/. I do not scrape a store card for stars I cannot verify. If a figure is absent, the card says the absence out loud. That sentence is part of the editorial product.

One verb per Aviator title

Pylon Cut is tip-cut. Ring Gaff is gaff swing. Sky Snap is viewfinder snap. If I cannot name the verb in five words, the review is not ready. Order on the ranking follows how quickly that verb becomes readable under pressure — not how loud a trailer looks.

Date everything

The November check — 12 November 2026 — is stamped on facts, reviews, and the hero figures. When a build changes, I re-run the session and update the stamp instead of silently rewriting old claims.

Hosted play without store fiction

Visitors can play here. That does not turn this site into a store, a publisher page, or an affiliate locker. I am not affiliated with Google Play or the App Store. Browser builds on this domain are for editorial sessions; they are not a substitute for inventing downloads.

What I refuse to write

  • “4.8 stars” when no public rating exists.
  • “1M+ downloads” for a local HTML5 file.
  • “Best Aviator 2026” phrasing that reads like a search query.
