Charter
Leveraging a list of all airports around the world, the Charter system allows a pilot to create a flight schedule without the constraints of having to adhere to the company's route map. The only limitation is selecting an aircraft with the range to complete the flight, and that will fit in the airports.
If you find an airport missing from the list, please send in a ticket.
Creating & Bidding a Charter Flight
On the Charter 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 and you can use the Interactive Map.
Using the Create-a-Flight, there are seven (9) steps you must complete in order to create and bid a Charter flight.
| 1. | Departure – Enter the Name or ICAO Code of any airport from which you wish to depart. If you have Worldwide Persistence (WWP) enabled, your departure will be the last location you flew into or jumpseat to. |
| 2. | Arrival – Enter the Name or ICAO Code of any airport to which you wish to arrive. This may be the same airport as departures, if you wish to simulate circuit training, sightseeing tours, etc. |
| 3. |
Ops Type – Chose an Ops Type, this will load a pre-defined list of aircraft for that operation.
If you wish to return and pick another operation, click on the 'Reset Aircraft' to the right of the drop down box.
You can view our entire fleet by operation by visiting CrewOps > Company > Fleet. |
| 4. | Departure Time – Select a departure time – and remember this is UTC time, not local time. You can just leave this as-is, as you do not need to set this time in your flight sim for your flight to count for Walker. |
| 5. | Passengers or Cargo – Choose who or what will be accompanying you on your flight – passengers or cargo. |
| 6. | MEDEVAC – Toggling this will mark your flight as a Medevac and append the necessary information for online ATC network pre-files. It will also show up as an indicator on the live map, recent flights, and logbook. |
| 7, | Search-and-Rescue (SAR) – Toggling this will mark your flight as a SAR and append the necessary information for online ATC network pre-files. It will also show up as an indicator on the live map, recent flights, and logbook. |
