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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
