Membership and Official Pilot Track

Fly with any ACARS, connect with IVAO, operate with SKYLINK Dispatch.

Open access and the optional official track

Signing in with IVAO opens the Contract Pilot path. A Contract Pilot can create flights, join events, earn Linx and build a public Pilot Passport without applying for an official position.

The Official Pilot track is optional. The current rating gate is displayed in Profile. When the gate and first-flight requirement are met, an application starts the Pilot Initial Activity Requirement (PIAR) window. The configured number of flights must be completed before the deadline.

First Three Flights onboarding

My Operations Briefing provides a live three-step introduction:

  1. Complete the first booked, SimBrief-dispatched and IVAO-verified operation.
  2. Complete a second sector and practise assigned-stand discipline where stands are available.
  3. Complete the third verified sector and review its evidence-based debrief.

The checklist is calculated from actual completed flights; it is not a manually awarded badge.

How Level, Tier, XP and Badges are calculated

Fly with any ACARS, connect with IVAO, operate with SKYLINK Dispatch.

Level, Tier and XP
  • Base XP = (completed flights x 20) + (full airtime hours x 5) + ((total Linx excluding stand Linx bonuses) / 10) + stand XP bonus points.
  • Eligible Marketplace XP bonuses are applied after Base XP.
  • Level = floor(XP / 100) + 1.
  • Tier by level: Explorer (1-4), Pathfinder (5-9), Commander (10-19), Legend (20+).
  • Current streak counts consecutive days with at least one completed flight.
  • Longest streak is the highest consecutive-day run in your full history.
Badge Criteria
  • First Lift: 1+ completed flight
  • Commuter progression: 10, 25, 50 and 100 completed flights
  • 100h Airborne: 100+ airtime hours
  • 7-Day Streak: complete a streak of at least 7 consecutive days; once earned, the badge remains
  • Linx Earner: 10,000+ total Linx
  • Additional badges cover scheduled, cargo, route, airport, time-window, fleet, maintenance, gallery and Flying Together achievements.
Visitor-to-Captain Principles
  • Contract Pilot path is always open: fly, join events and earn Linx without applying.
  • Official Pilot path is optional and requires a separate application.
  • Official gate requires the configured IVAO rank threshold currently shown in profile, normally FS4+ and AS4+.
  • After applying, PIAR window starts and must be completed on time.
Official Track Flow
  • Stage 1 - Visitor: login with IVAO and start operations freely.
  • Stage 2 - Contract Pilot: continue unlimited flights and events.
  • Stage 3 - Official Candidate: first completed flight and rank gate met.
  • Stage 4 - PIAR: complete required flights before PIAR deadline.
  • Stage 5 - Official Pilot: promoted after PIAR success.
