The story behind American Flight Airways John Valencia and Enrique Garcia-Sayan established American Flight Airways Virtual Airlines (AFA) in November 1996. Originally AFA only had 2 hubs which were located at Pontiac, MI and Lima, Peru. During the early years of AFA from November 1996 and throughout 1997 AFA primarily flew commuter flights and a few domestic and international flights. In September 1997 AFA decided to expand its services and established new superhubs in Detroit, MI and Atlanta, GA, which resulted in substantial growth for AFA. AFA was accepted onto virtualairlines.com in May 1998 which made AFA a truly global virtual airline. American Flight Airways Virtual Airlines began codesharing with Pacific Airways (PAY) in 2000 and in 2001 we co-founded the major alliance “The American Pacific Group or in short APG”. The alliance allows us to share webresources as well as to offer pilots greater flexibility and variety in the routes and aircraft they can fly. AFA added a Low Cost Carrier Alpha Jet to its operations at the end of 2004. Early 2005 Kenric Smith, Thomas Snoeck, Troy Miles and Enrique Garcia –Sayan, completed the conversion of the international operations of American Flight Airways. The Sydney hub was successfully enlarged to AFA Australia and the San Juan operations were merged into AFA Latin America. Currently AFA has 6 US hubs and 2 international divisions; these include respectively Atlanta (ATL), Dallas (DFW), Detroit (DTW), Phoenix (PHX), San Francisco (SFO), Washington D.C (IAD) and AFA Australia (main office in Sydney, Australia (YSSY)) and AFA Latin America (main office in Sao Paulo, Brazil (SBGR)). Copyright © 2007 – American Flight Airways – All Rights Reserved. 4 2. Requirements for membership Anyone can become a member of AFA and it's free. Flight Simulator versions 2000, 2002, 2004 or FSX are required in order to fly. While you should preferably have some basic piloting skills (i.e.: take-off, landing, etc.), we will gladly help you advance in your flying skills. To join the airline, select a hub of your choice, then click on the hub's image which will take you to its homepage from there click on “Join” and fill out the new pilot application form. It's that easy. Our automated system will send you a link by e-mail so you can take the exam. So be sure to give a valid e-mail address when you join. Copyright © 2007 – American Flight Airways – All Rights Reserved. 5 3. Downloading Aircraft AFA has a variety of aircraft ranging from the smaller Beechcraft 1900D to the heavy 747. We have freeware aircraft available for download in the FS2000, FS2002, FS2004 (FSX) format. Furthermore we have textures available for some popular payware models. Most of our aircraft include self installers for your convenience. You can go immediately to the AFA Aircraft page to start downloading the aircraft. Please visit our Fleet Forum for any questions or suggestions you may have regarding our fleet. Copyright © 2007 – American Flight Airways – All Rights Reserved. 6 4. Flight Regulations AFA flights are NOT assigned. You can choose any flight to fly using the guideline below. We ask that ALL flights be flown and reported in a logical format and not out of order. We have examples below of a correct and incorrect format: Logical Order (Correct Format) ATL-DTW DTW-IAD IAD-DTW Illogical Order (Incorrect Format) ATL-DTW CLE-PHX STL-LAX We can not stress this enough please fly and report ALL flights in the logical sequence noted above. Pilots are required to fly at least one (1) flight per month. Note: You may fly any route as long as you follow the following: Pilots with less than 20 hours…Can fly category 1 or 2 aircraft routes. Pilots with 20 hours to less than 40 hours...Can fly category 1, 2, 3 aircraft routes. Pilots with 40 hours or more...Can fly any route. Aircraft Categories Category 1 - Beechcraft B1900D Category 2 - DeHavilland Dash 8, Canadair Regional Jet CRJ200, Embraer EMB-170 Category 3 - Airbus A320, Boeing 717, Boeing 737 Category 4 - Airbus A330, Boeing 757, Boeing 767 Category 5 - Boeing 747, Boeing 777 4.1. Charters All AFA Hubs provide its pilots with Charter Flights that are unscheduled destinations which will vary from month to month. Just go to the Charter Flight Center on our homepage and take a look at ANY charters that allow you to fly as some are open to all and others are restricted. All we ask is that you have the right qualification (hours) to fly that particular aircraft and that you only reserve one at time to complete so others might have the chance to reserve a flight that they might want. Charters should be logged once they are flown by selecting “charter” in the PRS flight report. Furthermore we offer you the possibility to request a charter in the Charter Flight Center or to ask your hub staff to create a charter for you. Copyright © 2007 – American Flight Airways – All Rights Reserved. 7 4.2. Jumpseating Jumpseating is when a pilot rides on a flight as a passenger. This is allowed only between APG hubs. You may make one jumpseat flight from your home hub to another APG hub to begin a flight line there. Once your scheduled line is complete, you may jumpseat again back to your home hub to complete your trip. (i.e.: If your home hub was Detroit and you wanted to make a flight line in San Francisco, you could jumpseat on flight AFA/140 from Detroit to San Francisco, make a complete flight line using San Francisco routes, then jumpseat again from San Francisco back to Detroit on flight AFA/141). Jumpseating is logged in your logbook just as a special flight, but DOES NOT COUNT for any flight hours therefore do not log any flight hours for a jumpseat trip. Special jumpseat flights can be approved by your Hub Director to complete a charter or to participate in an APG sponsored Vatsim event, otherwise jumpseating is only allowed once to an APG hub, then once to return to your home base. NOTE: Until a future upgrade to the pirep system (PRS) allows for logging Jumpseat as a regular flight type, log your Jumpseat flight in the comments section of your PIREP on your next flight to explain the gap in your logbook (i.e.: Jumpseat flight AFA/140 KDTW - KSFO). 4.3. Flying greater than 1x? "ALL" flights that are logged are to be flown at a simulation rate of 1X only. One exception is to catch up to where you were after a computer or flightsim lockup. We also allow you to pause and or save a flight so you can resume it at a later time. This rule is in place to assure a realistic flight experience and to prevent excessive logging of pireps in a 24-hour period. 4.4. Inactive policy Pilots are required to log one flight every 30 days to remain active. After 35 days, you will be automatically marked inactive and be removed from your hub's roster soon thereafter. If you are deleted because of inactivity, you must re-join the airline and you will lose your previous pilot ID number (PID) and logbook. If you should decide to re-join the airline after you have been terminated, we will not be able to restore your logbook or give you credit for your previous hours. If you plan to remain inactive for greater than 30 days and do not wish to be terminated, you must request an LOA (Leave of Absence). Copyright © 2007 – American Flight Airways – All Rights Reserved. 8 4.5. L.O.A. Leave of Absences are approved by hub directors for a maximum period of six (6) months and are requested via the Pilot Record Maintenance page. After the six-month term, the pilot may contact the hub director and request that the LOA be extended an additional six months if necessary. Any pilot who fails to make contact with their hub staff after the initial six-month period has expired will be changed to inactive status with or without prior notification. After this takes place, the pilot will have 15 days to file a flight report or contact their hub director. In the event that a flight report is not filed in this 15-day period, the pilot runs the risk of being terminated from the airline by the automated Pilot Report (PIREP) system, unless the pilot makes contact with his or her hub director. Copyright © 2007 – American Flight Airways – All Rights Reserved. 9 5. Flights, Inter-Hub and Codeshare Flying Fly the routes that apply to you by following the previous company policy. Flights may be chosen by clicking on the link itineraries in any one of AFA's hubs. Itineraries will display all flights which are available to be flown within the hub. Pilots may also chose to fly inter-hub flights from other AFA hubs in order to expand their flight routes along with codeshare routes from Pacific Airways hubs. A typical inter-hub flight example is explained below: Example 1 (Interhub Flight): If pilot "A" flies a Detroit flight to Atlanta he/she may fly ANY flight the Atlanta hub has to offer. Once he/she is finished flying Atlanta flights and wants to return home he simply flies a return flight from Atlanta back to Detroit. This inter-hub and codeshare flight system would allow a pilot to fly to more cities besides just flying to one city and returning back to their hub immediately and allows them to experience different hub or airline operations.. Example 2 (Codeshare Flight): If pilot "B" flies an AFA Atlanta flight to Pacific Airways Miami he/she may fly ANY flight the Pacific Airways Miami hub has to offer. Once he/she is finished flying Miami flights and wants to return home he simply flies a return flight back to Atlanta. Please note that any Pacific Airways (PAY) codeshare flight needs to be flown with Pacific Airways aircraft. Copyright © 2007 – American Flight Airways – All Rights Reserved. 10 6. Pilot Reporting System (PRS) AFA requires every pilot to complete a flight report once they have completed a flight by filling out the flight report form online from each hub's website. The flight report forms are automated and require that you select the aircraft flown, either the departure and arrival cities (ICAO codes) or the flight number, enter hours and minutes of flight (engine startup to gate arrival), and enter flight number. ALWAYS start your flight reports by entering the correct Zulu DATE and Zulu DEPARTURE TIME so that your reports appear in a logical format in your logbook. Please DO NOT log more than 17 hours of flights in a 24-hour period per real life regulations as anything over that is considered excessive flight logging as defined by real life aviation regulations and can lead to suspension or even dismissal. Once again please file reports in the logical format which was discussed in the topic "Regulations on flights". You can access the PRS system by going to your AFA hub page and clicking on the “Flight Report” link. Copyright © 2007 – American Flight Airways – All Rights Reserved. 11 7. VATSIM and Multiplayer Flying AFA management encourages the use of VATSIM (Virtual Air Traffic Simulation Network) online flying. VATSIM provides real time ATC control over the internet through a program called Squawkbox. This allows a pilot to fly online in real time with other pilots and receive real time ATC control. We only encourage the use of flying online with VATSIM however you DO NOT have to be fly online in order to participate in AFA. VATSIM allows for the most realistic experience in flight simulation allowing you to see other pilots and aircraft online and also allowing you to receive real time ATC over the internet through voice and/or text. If you are interested in participating with online flying with VATSIM we encourage you to join us for our online training. We have a Vatsim Tutorial http://www.flyafa.com/vatsimtutorial/ to help you get started flying online. Moreover we encourage you to visit our forums in case you need help, to arrange meetings with fellow APG or to find out the destination of our next event. AFA pilots who fly online using VATSIM are asked to use their AFA PID as their official callsign. Lastly your voice callsign during radio transmissions is the English/American pronunciation of "AFA”. Copyright © 2007 – American Flight Airways – All Rights Reserved. 12 8. Pilot Ranks As a new pilot with AFA, you will start as a first officer. The ranking is based in hours flown in other words, experience. For promotions see the chart below: Rank Hours First officer 0-20 Captain 21-39 ATP First Officer 40-79 ATP Captain 80-299 ATP Senior Captain 300 - 599 ATP Commander 600 - 999 ATP Senior Commander 1000 + Please remember that you may fly any route as long as you follow the following: Pilots with less than 20 hours…Can fly category 1 or 2 aircraft routes. Pilots with 20 hours to less than 40 hours...Can fly category 1, 2, 3 aircraft routes. Pilots with 40 hours or more...Can fly any route. Aircraft Categories Category 1 - Beechcraft B1900D Category 2 - DeHavilland Dash 8, Canadair Regional Jet CRJ200, Embraer EMB-170 Category 3 - Airbus A320, Boeing 717, Boeing 737 Category 4 - Airbus A330, Boeing 757, Boeing 767 Category 5 - Boeing 747, Boeing 777 Copyright © 2007 – American Flight Airways – All Rights Reserved. 13 9. Transferring Previous VA hours to American Flight Airways rosters. American Flight Airways allows a maximum of 50 hours to be transferred from another established VA. This brings the experienced pilot who is joining to the rank of ATP First Officer and will allow them to fly any route and aircraft without restriction. Send in a request for credit of previous hours to your Hub Director along with a link to the roster where they can be verified.
