| What is a virtual airline? |
|
A virtual airline simulates a real-world
airline, flying its own aircraft & routes in the virtual world of Flight
Simulator. Pilots join the airline and choose flights which they then
fly in Flight Simulator. After the flight, pilots report their flight in
a Pilot Report (PIREP) on the VA France website, and the hours
of the flight are automatically added to their logbook. As flight hours
accumulate, pilots consequently progress through the ranks at the
airline. Joining and flying with VA France is absolutely free
and involves no monetary exchange.
Instead
of flying aimlessly in your FS world, virtual airlines aim to bring
together a community of FS pilots, and provide them with a fun and
educational environment in which to fly.
Virtual
Air France strives to be the benchmark for European based virtual
airlines. Our objective is simple: To be the best virtual airline in
Europe whose pilots are highly recognized by the virtual airline
industry.
Our website uses the latest technology for a virtual airline. We provide
our pilots with a fully automated system allowing our pilots to log
flights instantly. Our pilots have access to an automated Roster, pilot
submitted flight reports and individual pilot flight logs & ACARS among
many other features!

France membership |

Joining
and flying with VA France is absolutely free and involves no
monetary exchange. The first step is to read our requirements. The
second step is to take our automated entrance exam. To maintain our high
standards we feel that applicants should have a basic knowledge about
flying airliners. We feel that most dedicated flight simmers should have
no problem with the exam and it should only take a few minutes. You will
need to achieve 70% or better on our entrance exam. The link to our
entrance exam is on the upper right side of this page, or you can
click here.
The
Flying Tigers Group operates a conglomerate of virtual airlines. We
recommend that you sign up with your favorite airline in our group. Once
you sign up there is no need to sign up again with any of our other
virtual airlines. You will be able to login and fly for all of our VA's
with one pilot ID. All flights, no matter which VA will be in your pilot
logbook! It really makes no difference with which VA you sign up, since
you can login to all of them. Our virtual airlines:

redefined |
|
In other
virtual airlines when you become a pilot your only job is to complete a
flight for the same airline; day after day, month after month, year
after year. For this reason many pilots choose to join several VA's to
match their own interests. Who would want to fly the same planes and
routes all the time? Boring.....not us!
This is where the Flying Tigers Group comes in. You can fly for all of
our VA's representing some of the best and most exotic airlines around
the world. As a pilot you will be able to fly short island hops to
exotic locations or even trans-Atlantic flights on the Concorde.
Because all of our VA's share our advanced automation features, a pilot
only needs to sign up once. Then with one pilot ID, a pilot can login to
each VA's Operations Center. What's really cool is that you can file a
PIREP at any VA and it will count towards you total flight hours & rank!
This concept has created one of the most diverse groups of Flight
Simulator fanatics we've ever seen!
