# Charter

- - - - - -

Leveraging a list of all airports around the world, the **Charter** system allows a pilot to create a flight schedule without the constraints of having to adhere to the company's route map. The only limitation is selecting an aircraft with the range to complete the flight, and that will fit in the airports.

<p class="callout info">If you find an airport missing from the list, please send in a [ticket](https://docs.walkerair.us/books/2-training/page/help-submit-a-ticket).</p>

#### **Find a Flight - Random Flight Generator** 

The **Random Generator** is an easy way to address the '*Where am I going to fly today*?' question... Input a few items and generate a random flight.

[![Screenshot_20230416_000744_Chrome.jpg](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2023-04/scaled-1680-/screenshot-20230416-000744-chrome.jpg)](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2023-04/screenshot-20230416-000744-chrome.jpg)  
  
If you're using **Worldwide Persistence**, your departure airport will be filled in automatically. Otherwise you can fill as many or as little of the following boxes and the system will generate a flight that fits within the constraints you have selected.

Note that if you do not tick any boxes for the runway surface selection and the airport size selection, the system will take this input as allowing all of the options.

You can click on the **Find a Flight** button as many times as you like until you get a satisfactory result, then you can proceed to hit **Transfer Flight** to send the airport information to the charter module on the top of the screen.
