Points

Points are awarded for each completed flight receiving an ‘Approved’ designation.

The number of points you earn will depend on several factors – as you can see from the categories and points awards in the chart below.

Category Points
Completed Flight +5
Per Hour of Flight +1
Per 50 Nautical Miles of Flight +1
Completed 20-Minute Pre-Flight +3
Flaps Position Set Takeoff
+1
Flaps Position Set Landing
+1
Exceed 250kts under 10,000 ft for more than 2 minutes

Only applicable when aircraft MTOW is less than 300,000lbs (136,077kgs).

-5

Overspeed

Only deducted once regardless of number of instances of overspeeding

-2

Time Compression
A 15% penalty will be assessed against the total number of points earned for that flight.

EXAMPLE:

46 points earned – 7 point penalty (.15 × 46) = 39 points awarded.

 

Bonus Multiplier
The bonus multiplier helps equalize flights in all Fleet aircraft regardless of distance flown and/or cruising speed by using a proprietary algorithm and applying it to those with cruise speeds of 250kts or less and cruise speeds between 251kts and 400kts.
