Pilots & Ratings
Your pilot has ratings (certifications) that unlock different aircraft types. Without the right rating, you can’t rent or use an aircraft, even if you own it.
Available Ratings
| Rating | How You Get It |
|---|---|
| Commercial Single | Every pilot starts with this rating for free. It allows you to fly single-engine aircraft. |
| Commercial Rotor | Free to acquire. Allows you to fly helicopters and rotorcraft. |
| Commercial Multi | Purchased with in-game currency. Allows you to fly multi-engine aircraft. |
| High Performance | Purchased with in-game currency. Allows you to fly high-performance aircraft. |
Purchasing Ratings
You can buy ratings from your dashboard:
- On the Home page, look at your ratings section.
- Ratings you already own are shown. Ratings you can still purchase will have a buy option.
- Select a rating to see its price, then confirm the purchase.
- The cost is deducted from your balance and the rating is added immediately.
You cannot buy a rating you already own.
Why Ratings Matter
- Renting. You must have the matching rating to reserve an aircraft.
- Assignments. Some assignments involve aircraft types that require specific ratings, so having more ratings opens up more jobs.
- Progression. Ratings are a key part of growing your career. Starting with single-engine planes and working up to multi-engine or high-performance aircraft is a natural progression.
