mattsmith Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Just wondering if other CEO's let there pilots submit manual pireps or do your pilots have to use Xacars etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 I let MVA pilots file manual pireps as long as everything is realistic, and not made up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyuko Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 At JAL we only allow manual PIREPS if the pilot has stated a good reason to file a PIREP manually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators servetas Posted March 17, 2013 Moderators Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 In Greece Airways Virtual we do accept manual flights as pilots are obliged to fly on the IVAO or VATSIM network. We have also created a flight tracker which gets, from the network wazzup files, the flight information every five minutes so we are able to check if he had really flown it.

Tylor Eddy Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 We also don't allow manual PIREP submission at Qantas Virtual, all our flights must be logged with our tracking client, or flown and recorded online with IPS. This is purely because it is a way pilots can cheat our system and alter their logs when they attach it to the comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattsmith Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I am considering only letting pilots log there flights by Xacars or fsacars etc but am worried that this could turn pilots away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollinst Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I am considering only letting pilots log there flights by Xacars or fsacars etc but am worried that this could turn pilots away? You should invest in a custom kACARS! You can get the application name to be whatever you want, the prices are so low, and the quality is so high! The link to that is http://www.fs-products.net/ Now, about turning pilots away. Generally, you will turn some pilots away because they do not want to hassle with the programs. Now, with Legend Air we were happy to have 40-60 pilots who loved to use our custom kACARS, and we never had to worry about a pilot submitting a fake PIREP to get some more hours. If I were you, I would definitely invest in the custom kACARS, and then offer pilots the opportunity to use that or to file a manual PIREP as long as it was flown entirely on the VATSIM network. This makes sure that you have 100% real and accurate flight logbooks for your VA and every single one of your pilots. Blue skies and good luck!

gigemaggs99 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I have a question for other CEO's. If one of my pilots has an issue or for some reason the acars does not report their pirep. How can I add their pirep manually? Other than logging in as them, then filing it for them, is it possible for me to log a pirep for them? Thanks.

Ariel Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 At JAL we only allow manual PIREPS if the pilot has stated a good reason to file a PIREP manually. yea over here at vDelta NO MANUAL PIREPS...only if there is a good reason to file one...we use smartCARS pretty cheap and has lots of great features...as well as new features being added on in the future...great investment if you ask me....pilots love it!
