Stupid question time
Ok so here is my stupid question. What is the purpose of the personal account? I am starting to get to a while small it is still a respectable amount of money. But I am not sure what to do with it. I have looked thru the aircraft list and there is nothing there I would want to buy as a personal aircraft. Wish there was a few fun aircraft Eg Spit or Stang i could buy and restore but uderstand that those aircrfat will most likely not be implemented. So back to my original question what can I do with the money beside using it as a personal scoreboard?

Load the data for it Terror and Im sure the Mods will approve it - I fly (as do other VA Members) Rick Pipers superb Chipmunk
keep it based at Hana on Maui and its great to go do Aeros in or just putt about the islands looking at places that VHA DOESNT go to (There are a load of little airfields on the Big Island)
So give them the data (If your not sure - go to data base - aircraft TYPE and add new type
make sure you have all the numbers ready - and you'll be good to go
enjoy and have fun

Hmm, best guess here. Make a flight plan and book the flight?Terror wrote:It was already in the system Now my next question I have filed a flight plan for my personal aircraft. how do I fly that flight plan?IslandBum wrote:Load the data for it Terror and Im sure the Mods will approve it - I fly (as do other VA Members) Rick Pipers superb Chipmunk

If you book the flight, you also have to have the liscence (?) to fly it from the CEO of the airline, else that flight remains your booked flight... well, that was my situation anyway... filed a flight plan for my DH89, and flew it, but the flight remained booked as I didn't have a liscence to fly the ac from the CEO... and not only that, but I couldn't cancel the flight either!
Having got the liscence to fly the Rapide, everything then fell into place and the booked flight could be flown... and had to also book flight back to get back to start point...

Mat, you definitely do not have to have a Type Rating from your VA to fly a personal aircraft. If you own it, you can fly it. To fly the flight, file a flight plan, start the client once you're in the cockpit and ready to fly, click on the "Fly Booked Flight" button, and it'll put you through the usual "How much fuel?" screen before sending you off to fly. Once you're done, it'll close your flight and tell you how much you just spent flying your personal aircraft from A to B.
I keep doing that and it always shows no flight booked. I check in my hanger at flynet and it shows a flight is booked. I can't figure it out. I could understand if I got an error eg wrong plane or wrong airport but I keep getting no flight booked. So the plane is just setting at the airfield I can't fly it on flynet and I can't unbook the flight.
I can only relate the experience I had Cap'nFlyer... You're right in that I could fly the flight, but in my case, it put myself at the destination and left the the Rapide at start point, without ending the booked flight... and nor could I cancel it; but I am using FS2000 and a novice at both FS2000 and FlyNet; and I cant remember if I set the parking brakes after the flight or not at the time... but I've learn't now
