# Walker Flying Club

---

<p class="callout warning">This feature is only available to Patreon members - please [click here](https://docs.walkerair.us/books/3-help/chapter/patreon) to read up on the membership system.</p>

The Walker Flying Club allows you to fly any plane, any where, and have it tracked in the Walker system. This allows our pilots to fly aircraft that does not fall into our other three aircraft categories - [Scheduled](https://docs.walkerair.us/books/3-help/page/scheduled), [Cargo](https://docs.walkerair.us/books/3-help/page/cargo), or [Charter](https://docs.walkerair.us/books/3-help/page/charter).

The Club represents pilot flying on their off time or as a hobby, thus instead of being paid, the pilot actually pays a nominal sum in order to fly from their pilot wallet, using money earned from flying in the other three categories. This is meant to represent aircraft rental, maintenance, and fuel costs as appropriate.

You will still get hours and points for these flights, and these **will** count towards ranking your seniority up in the airline. Further, as this is not meant to be a simulation of airline operations, there will be no SimBrief import/OFP within Walker for Club flights. However, you are of course welcome to plan your flights separately in SimBrief if you so wish and connect this to the aircraft avionics that you are flying.

In order to avoid exorbitant fuel costs, such as if you choose to fly a jet fighter under Club, you will be billed as per below table, based on your seniority in the airline.

In the *Navigation Bar* in our *Crew Ops* website, select **Flights** &gt; **Club**.

On the **Club Page**, there are (2) ways you can create a flight. You can choose to use the *Create a Flight* option listed below or read below that for the *Interactive Map*.

Using the *Create-a-Flight*, there are five steps you must complete in order to create and bid a **Charter** flight.

#### **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)

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.
