# 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.
**Category****Points****How is it determined?**
**Completed Flight****+5**
**Per Hour of Flight****+1**
**Per 50 Nautical Miles of Flight****+1**
**Completed 20-Minute Pre-Flight****+3***Pre-flight time is calculated between the log entries 'Preflight started, flying' and 'Pushing back with # of fuel'.*
**Flaps Position Set *–* Takeoff** **+1***Takeoff flaps are determined by log entry 'Flaps set to' that occur **before** the log entry 'Taking off'.*
**Flaps Position Set *–* Landing** **+1***Landing flaps are determined by log entry 'Flaps set to' that occur **after** the log entry 'Approaching'. The 'Approaching' log entry will not occur if you are not properly in cruise phase. Please read note above regarding MSFS 2020 and/or ensure you know how to properly use the ACARS application to set your correct cruise level.*
**Exceed 250kts under 10,000 ft for *more than* 2 minutes**

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

**-5***Aircraft that have an MTOW **less than** 300,000lbs (136,077kgs). You can view the MTOW of our fleet by visiting Company > Fleet in CrewOps and viewing the MTOW column.*
**Overspeed**

*Only deducted once regardless of number of instances of overspeeding*

**-2***Log indicates 'Overspeed'.*
**Time Compression** *Log indicates 'Simulation rate set to'.* *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.*
**Pilots Home Airport** **+5** *You departed from or arrived at your Hub airport.*
**Landing Rates (Aircraft MTOW < 12,500lb)**
**-800 fpm to -701 fpm** **-8**
**-700 fpm to -601 fpm** **-6**
**-600 fpm to -501 fpm** **-4**
**-500 fpm to -401 fpm** **-2**
**-400 fpm to -300 fpm** **+1**
**-300 fpm to -201 fpm** **+2**
**-200 fpm to -101 fpm** **+4**
**-100 fpm to 0 fpm** **+5**
**-150 fpm** **+100**
**Landing Rates (Aircraft MTOW > 12,500lb)**
**-800 fpm to -701 fpm** **-4**
**-700 fpm to -601 fpm** **-2**
**-600 fpm to -501 fpm** **+1**
**-500 fpm to -401 fpm** **+2**
**-400 fpm to -301 fpm** **+4**
**-300 fpm to -101 fpm** **+5**
**-100 fpm to 0 fpm** **+2**
**-150 fpm** **+100**
Here are some examples illustrating how these category points factor into each completed flight.
