Personal roster

A week of a real airline's flights, just for you

Want to fly but don't want to decide where? Pick a real airline and get a week of its actual flights — the routes, flight numbers and types it really operates. The roster is yours alone and touches neither the money nor the fleet of your airline: fly it, earn XP and a badge.

How to build a week

  1. 1Pick an airline and a familySearch the airline by name or ICAO code and pick an aircraft family — A320, 737, 777 and so on. Russian names work too: «Aeroflot» is found both in Latin and in Cyrillic. While the box is empty you get a starter selection of well-known carriers. Next to the airline you'll see the year of the data: some carriers have a fresh schedule, others the latest one we could collect.
  2. 2Flight length, pattern and hubShort means up to 2 hours block, medium 2 to 6, long 6 hours and up with no upper limit. "Round trips from the hub" means out and back, sleeping at home; with "Chain" each flight starts where you landed, moving on through the network. The hub is where the week starts.
  3. 3Check the preview and acceptA week has 10 flights, or 6 long ones. Don't like it — "Another week" builds a new variant with the same settings. "Accept the week" starts the clock: 7 days from acceptance. A pilot has one active week at a time.
  4. 4Fly them in orderThe roster screen shows the next flight large and the whole week day by day. Fly it as a free flight with the tracker running — it is credited on its own when the tracker closes the flight, and you get a notification.
The "Plan in SimBrief" button opens a plan with the airline's real code, the flight number, your callsign and the scheduled departure time. The time is there for atmosphere: you don't have to leave on the minute, and nobody checks it.

When a flight counts

  • Only a free flight recorded by the tracker. A flight booked through an airline doesn't go into the personal roster — it has its own economy.
  • Departure and arrival airports must match the roster exactly. Diverted to an alternate — the flight isn't credited, and you can fly it again before the week ends.
  • The aircraft must be of the same family as in the roster. If the tracker couldn't recognise the type, we won't nitpick.
  • Strictly in order: only the next flight can be credited. Flying the fifth while the third is still waiting doesn't count.
  • What counts is the moment the tracker closed the flight: between accepting the week and its deadline. Took off before accepting and landed after — it counts.
  • A flight that ended in a crash is not credited.

Skips and abandoning a week

Each week comes with 2 skips: "Skip" removes the next flight and the queue moves on to the one after it. A skipped flight earns no XP, and the week bonus is smaller with skips. If the week isn't working out at all, "Abandon week" closes it at once; the XP already credited stays and you can build a new one.

What you get

Credited flightas much XP again as the free flight earned
Week without skips+100 XP
Week with skips+50 XP
Deadline passedflight XP stays, no bonus
Your first closed week earns the "My Own Schedule" badge, a week without a single skip earns "No Skips". The roster pays no money and doesn't touch your airline's fleet or demand, and free flights don't enter the leaderboards.
