Points

[SBonkers]

Hi all, is there a way/guide that explains how the VA earns points? We are new to VA Central and see that sometimes we fly 7 flights and get 13 pionts - and other times we get 1 point p/flight, help would be appreciated

Thank you

There is not any specific table cause everything is being calculated in the background using an algorithm. You can check the tips and tricks on your vacenter profile page:

Rankings

Ranks are calculated using several factors - the percentage of active pilots, the percentage of your routes which have been flown, the frequecy of those routes, and the frequency and number of PIREPs filed. These, and several other factors, influence your airlines rank. This allows for fair play; smaller airlines remain competitive, even compared to larger airlines. There are two sets of ranks - one based on performance, and the other based on finances. They do not affect each other.

Updates and additional information

Your VA's website will automatically be queried at the appropriate time for updated information, so there is no manual process involved in updating the airline's stats. If you see a discrepency, wait a day. Usually, updates occur the night following a PIREP, or once a week if there have been no PIREPs.

Tips for great success

• Enter proper flight times in your schedules
  
• An airline with 30 pilots and 20 active will rank better than an airline with 100 pilots and 40 active
  
• Use an ACARS program for best accuracy for fuel and flight time
  
• Make sure you have prices for all your routes (if you don't, you still have to pay for it!)
  
• Enter expenses properly - you will be audited (like the real thing!); if there are no expenses, you get docked $20,000/month
  
• Using the live fuel prices gives you extra points
