| Can I only fly routes from
the hub that I have been assigned to? |
As a CAX pilot, you can fly any route that CAX has to offer with
the exception of the Golden
Bear Routes |
| Who can fly the Golden Bear
Routes? |
The Golden Bear service is the elite service of
CAX and only qualified pilots can fly these routes.
In order to qualify for GB certification, you must
first obtain a ranking of Captain, which is when you have logged a minimum
of 50 flight hours. Once you have obtained a rank
of Captain, you can then apply for GB certification. |
| Do I have to fly my route
at the assigned sheduled departure time? |
No. You can fly your flights at your convenience. However, it is highly recommended that you set the time on Xplane to the departure time for added realism |
| Do I need to use real weather
with my flights? |
We don't require you to fly with real weather turned
on, however, we encourage you to for a more realistic
experience. |
| How do I keep current? |
Each pilot must submit at least two flight reports each month. The can be reports of any type of qualified flight, such as airline, charter, fly in, alliance, or checkride. |
| How often are the pilot's
flight hours and flight logs updated? |
Hub managers are required to update their hub's
a minimum of once a week, which include pilot's hours
and flight logs. |
| Can I use non-CAX aircraft
to fly my routes? |
No. You must use the appropriate CAX aircraft that
is assigned to each route. |
| What it the correct way to
report flight hours? Do flight hours include taxi
time as well as flight time? |
All real world pilots report engine time as their
flight hours and thus CAX flight hours should be reported
based on engine time as well. This means that you
can start your timer from the moment you turn on the
engine at the departing airport to the moment that
you turn it off at the destination airport. This means
that flight hours includes flight time, taxi time
and instrument set up time while at the ramp. |
