Im a newbie i try to download the Flight Ops guide but it would not. So my questions are how do you move up in the higher class of aircraft? is it hours or flights or something else? OR are you allowed to fly any route with any aircraft just trying to understand so im not breaking any rules. thanks for the help

Hi and a very warm welcome.

Flight Ops guide is not available anymore, sorry.

Next question:

The basic rank structure used in our records issues a rank to each user based on the number of flight completed.

Ranks are displayed for illustrational purposes only.

Less than 20 flights: No rank
Between 20 and 70 flights: First Officer
More than 70 flights: Captain

3rd question, come one, read the FAQ's ...

You choose 2 typeratings (CRJ-100/200/700 and
Airbus A319/320/321), so you can only perform flights with these aircraft types.
There is also the possibility to make an aircraft change for two flights per month.

see the FAQ:
e.g. Can I perform a flight listed for the 737 using an A320 instead?
These type of aircraft changes occur also in real life, but are seldom and not a regular practice. So if you want to file a PIREP you can do it as long as you stick to certain rules:

- You may in certain cases (say e.g. once a month) make this substituation so long as it remains realistic: similar range aircraft types are often replaced on flights in real life. This is however always an anomaly, differing from the published information. It`s best to keep ourselves to the schedules, as we unfortunately have no live source of information that would provide a listing of these changes on a daily basis.

- Overall we do not prohibit such changes: as long as you maintain a professional attitude - your flight reports always give away how organized a pilot is - and don`t make a habit of it, you`re more than welcome to increase your enjoyment and substitute similar types as per the above.But you have to write it in the remarks field, in your report that you changed an aircraft.

Also don't forget it for the reports:
Flight time is calculated between take-off and touchdown!.
The flights must be reported in the real scheduled times in UTC!

Hope thats helpful and also other new members will read this and follow these rules, to decrease the number of rejected reports ...

Happy landings and have fun.
