Type Ratings

How flight ratings work

Every accepted PIREP is scored for XP. From the XP deducted for any imperfections, a per-flight 0–10 rating is computed:

The loss-per-XP factor is a single global value set by staff — identical for every aircraft type and flight type — so the rating scale stays consistent across the whole fleet. Change it in the admin panel and this page (and every pilot's flight ratings going forward) updates to match.

Earning a type rating

A type rating is granted automatically the moment a pilot meets all five of these criteria on a given aircraft type:

1. 1Minimum of 50 accepted flights on the type
2. 2Minimum of 50 flight hours on the type
3. 3Average flight rating over the last 30 flights at 9.5 or higher
4. 4Lowest flight rating among the last 10 flights at 8 or higher
5. 5Most recent flight on the type no more than 30 days ago

Type-specific thresholds

Aircraft types with custom thresholds set by staff. Types not listed use the standard criteria above.

Keeping your rating

Buying & keeping it (Flux)

Once you meet all five criteria on a type, its Type Rating card on the Flight Deck switches to a ready-to-purchase state with a Buy button. The price (an initial cost + a monthly revalidation fee) is set per aircraft type by staff — see the cost table below. Types that aren't listed there are free to hold.
