We've had a couple of meta discussions about humor already: here and here. So far it seems that we're not very keen on it, but individual cases can always be different.

Personally, I can absolutely see how we could help people from worldbuilding or other sites with questions about plausibility, technical accuracy etc. and I think questions like that would be very welcome. On the other hand, questions that don't care about the technical aspects as long as the answer is witty or entertaining wouldn't be on-topic here. That's all just my own opinion, of course.

In your case, if you're asking what navigation or avionics equipment/features would be legally required - or at least commonly found - on an early airliner then I'd say the question is fine. But if you're asking for jokes or puns then I don't think it would get off the ground (ba-dum ching!).
