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.

Points

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.

1.75

Aircraft with a cruise speed (in the Fleet) equal to or less than 250kts. 1.50 Aircraft with a cruise speed (in the Fleet) between 251kts and 400kts.
