# Pilot Reports (PIREPS)

A PIREP is, quite simply, a Pilot Report. It contains digital data about the flight you flew and completed. After processing that data in our automated, proprietary system, it’s immediately filed, at which time it’s also added to your Pilot Logbook where it's then available for review.

Manually-submitted PIREPS are not allowed.

# Locating Your PIREP

- - - - - -

PIREPS are stored in your **Logbook**. They may be accessed by using the *Navigation Bar* in the *Crew Ops* website.

Locate your name on the right side of the *Navigation Bar.*

Scroll down to **Profile** and click it.

At the top of the screen opening afterwards, you'll see the Bar below along the top of your screen containing your Insignia, Name and a series of buttons on the right.

To view all of your PIREPS, click **this** button.

After doing so, the screen below will open. Here, you'll be able to see your 20 most recent PIREPs in *Summary Form*. Each column contains a piece of data about your flight. To see more detail about a specific flight, click its *Flight Number* in the **Flight** column – or – the colored box \[green, yellow or red\] in the far right-hand column.

There are four (4) individual sections in the **Pilot Report**.

##### **Section One:**

*Section One* provides an overview of your pilot report.

The top section will show icons based on specifics of your flight. Please see the icons below and what they mean.

Additionally, your flight number, along with your Pilot Name and Home Base; your Departure Airport Name and departure time; and your Arrival Airport and arrival time are listed in the boxes below the header.

#####  **Section Two:**

*Section Two* shows the route of your flight on a map.   
Use your mouse to move the map; use your *scroll wheel* – or – click the +/- icons to increase or decrease the *size* of the map.

[![image-1687627681679.png](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2023-06/scaled-1680-/image-1687627681679.png)](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2023-06/image-1687627681679.png)

Depending on your ACARS application and the available log information -- you can see additional information pertaining to your take off and landing.

<p class="callout info">As of January 24, 2023, we now log the take off and landing point in relation to your position reports. If you zoom into the departure or arrival airport, you can see the exact moment the airplane left the runway and when it touched down on the runway. We also log additional information such as take off speed, pitch, wind, landing rate, g-force, and more.  
  
If the icons are centered over the airport, or there is information below missing, this means we do not have the appropriate data from the ACARS to provide the information.</p>

# Deleting a PIREP

#### How to delete your PIREP?

Pilots have a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">**72 hour**</span> clock after submitting their flight to delete it. After that, the option is disabled and you will be unable to remove the flight.

<p class="callout warning">*Staff will not remove flights for pilots that fail to use the 72 hour window.*</p>

You can find the delete button on the top banner of your PIREP next to your submitted time (remember, you only have *72 hours.)*

[![image-1699724201376.png](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2023-11/scaled-1680-/image-1699724201376.png)](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2023-11/image-1699724201376.png)

Click on that button and a warning will pop up asking you to confirm.

[![image-1699724296870.png](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2023-11/scaled-1680-/image-1699724296870.png)](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2023-11/image-1699724296870.png)

Once confirmed, the PIREP will be removed.

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">***Tour Flight***</span><span style="text-decoration: underline;">*:*</span> *if the flight deleted was your recent leg for a tour, you will be pushed back to the previous leg so that you can complete the leg again.*

<p class="callout warning">*This is not recoverable. If you delete your flight, it is lost for good.*</p>

#### Restrictions

You will see a disabled trashcan on certain flights that cannot be deleted.

# Point System

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

# Manual PIREPS

- - - - - -

**TL;DR:** **Manual PIREPS are <span style="color: #ff0000;">not</span> allowed.**  
  
Data generated by your flight simulator about your flight is transferred, via ACARS*,* to our automated *Flight Data System* for processing. It's that data transfer that enables us to create the PIREP you see and what’s posted in your **Logbook**.   
  
The control inputs you make in your flight simulator while flying are the only manual elements of the data recording and transmission process – everything else is data driven.

We recognize, however, there could be an occasion where something doesn’t look right at the end of your flight. In the example illustrated below, something was obviously amiss – it’s not possible to be taxiing to the gate, and, after a brief pause, becoming airborne again…

[![image-1646058765802.png](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2022-02/scaled-1680-/image-1646058765802.png)](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2022-02/image-1646058765802.png)

While exceedingly rare, these kinds of anomalies *can* occasionally occur. We certainly sympathize with you if something like this happens. However, no Formal Review process exists because we do not have any control over the operation of your computer, your flight simulator, the stability of your Internet connection and/or any other operational factors affecting how data is collected and transmitted to us. As a result, we must trust the data your flight simulator generates and transmits to us via ACARS to be an accurate representation of what occurred during your flight. After that transmission occurs, we do **not** have the ability to change or alter any flight data nor will we ever do so.

What to do?

Simply stated, you'll need to refly that flight.
