What do I need to be a virtual pilot?Are there any special requirements?
You only need Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002, 2004 or FSX and a little experience with it. You must be familiar with its settings and flying procedures.

How do I fly for Virtual PIA?
Once you join, you are given a pilot number and a password, with the use of which you can access our pilots section. There, you can find your assignments - they are the flights you have been assigned - with all side details provided. Before you get into the action, you also need to download your relevant PIA aircraft - that is the aircraft you are authorised to fly according to our ranking system, and FSACARS for loggin your flight. Once that is done, you normally fly a flight using your PIA aircraft, and FSACARS records all the required data which is then sent to our site and automatically added as flying time against your name in the pilot roster.

How do I get PIA aircraft in my simulator?
You simply download the aircraft of your choice from our website, though an aircraft downloaded from an external source in PIA colours may also be used.

How does the ranking system work?
Your rank increases with the number of hours you virtually fly.  Full details of the rankings are given here
