Rank and Points

Rank

Walker Air Transport utilizes ACARS and the company’s proprietary, fully-automated Flight Data System (FDS) to log data produced and transmitted to us by your Simulator. Once you’ve completed your flight and submitted the PIREP, our FDS goes to work reviewing it and making a decision on its acceptability. And it’s all done very quickly. Within seconds, you’ll have all of your flight’s data to review, including, though not limited to, these major items:

  • 1
    2 3 4 5 6 Aircraft Type Flown
  • Flight Time
  • Flight Distance
  • Landing Rate
  • Points Awarded
  • Flight Status (Accepted; Rejected)

We're pleased and excited to have this system in place because we think it (1), adds more value to the total experience; and, (2), by analyzing their performance and applying what they learn from it, our Pilots are challenged to continually improve their flying skills and proficiency.

In order to be promoted to the next rank, you must meet both of the requirements noted below for minimum hours and minimum points.
