Piloting Virtual Airlines

Virtual airlines operate scheduled flights to most every destination in the world. Each airline has its own style—some fly passenger airliners, others fly cargo aircraft, and still others fly beat-up bush planes. Logging time with

a virtual airline is a great way to structure your Flight Simulator experience. Apply for a virtual flying job and see if you can pass the test to earn the captain’s seat. Once you’re hired, you can download the airline’s aircraft, scenery, and training materials, and use Flight Simulator to complete your assigned flights.
