# Scheduled

---

The **Scheduled Flight** Module gives Pilots an opportunity to experience life as a 'Line Pilot' for a major passenger airline.

<p class="callout info">*If you wish to depart from another location, you may purchase a Jumpseat Ticket to transfer to another airport.*</p>

##### **Finding a Scheduled Flight**

In the *Navigation Bar* of the *Crew Ops* website, select **Flights** &gt; **Scheduled**. That will take you to the **Scheduled Flights** page.

Upon arrival, you'll be presented with a map. You'll see a departure icon (**Green Map Pin**) and one \[1\] or more arrival pins (**Black Dots**), as well as **Toggle Weather**, **Toggle VATSIM** and **Select Random Arrival** buttons at the bottom left of the screen.

<p class="callout info">*The map seen above represents its default view. To see the rest of the world, place your cursor on the map and, with your control wheel, zoom in or out.*</p>

The departure location for your next flight is set as follows:

<table border="1" id="bkmrk-new-pilots-taking-th" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td class="align-center" style="width: 50%; vertical-align: middle; background-color: grey;"><span style="color: #ffffff;">**New Pilots**</span></td><td class="align-center" style="width: 50%; vertical-align: middle; background-color: grey;"><span style="color: #ffffff;">**All Other Pilots**</span></td></tr><tr><td class="align-center" style="width: 50%; vertical-align: middle;">New Pilots taking their **first flight** depart   
from the **Home Airport** they requested on registration.</td><td class="align-center" style="width: 50%; vertical-align: middle;">The *Arrival Airport* of your last **Cargo** or **Scheduled** flight.</td></tr></tbody></table>

Mouse over pins/black dots to see the names of the airports with flights available from your departure airport.

Once you find a place to which you'd like to fly, click on its black dot. Let's use KIAH &gt; KPDX as an example.

You'll then see your **Flight Bid** appear listing the Flight Number, Distance and Estimated Time Enroute.

<p class="callout info">*The Estimated Time Enroute is only an estimate and does **not** reflect the time in the aircraft you select.*</p>

##### **Map Features**

**Flight Status** – A number of informational items regarding the real-time status of your current flight are displayed on the map.

- When *smartCARS 3* or *FlightTrackerXP* has **not** been started *–* meaning you did **not** click 'Start' *–* this reminder will be seen;
- When you're in Preflight, the **Network Status** is displayed as a means of reminding you to set the flag for the ATC network you're using;
- When in the various phases of flight, your altitude, ground speed, time remaining, network and phase will be displayed. If you're successfully in **Cruise**, the phase indicator will turn green (useful for mistakes with cruising altitude or low pressure problems.); and,
- Once you've arrived and the PIREP is ready to be submitted, the status shows only **Arrived** (in green).

**NOTE:** *The data updates every 10 seconds.*
