Automated PIREP System (APS)

What is it? The Automated PIREP System is the heart and soul of the daily operations here at AvA. In the old days pilots would fly they're routes, write down the information in an email and send it to they're hub manager, the hub manager would then total up the hours for the pilots every week or even daily then post it on the roster manually. Unless you have been a hub manager you really have no idea how difficult and tedious this could be especially if you are managing a pretty large sized roster. So along came our new automated system, automation really revolutionized not only our, but many VA's operations. No longer would a pilot have to spend his/her time writing down information to send by email, and no longer would staff spend countless hours counting pilot reports. At American Virtual Airlines we went a step forward above all others, now not only can you log your flights on your own, but you can now log your flight automatically using FSACARS, FSPassengers, and FS Flight Keeper! Above that we also have a flight booking system which lets those users who use FSACARS, FSPassengers, and FS Flight Keeper book a scheduled flight from the REAL American Airlines schedule listed on our system, or if you want to create your own flight you can also use the "Book a Flight" option to create any customized flight to your liking according to your rating.

How Do I Use the APS?

When you received your welcome letter you should have been given your Pilot ID and a temporary password for you to log into the automated system. please use your full ID (AAL###) and your temporary password to log in, once you log in the first thing you should do is change your password to something you will remember. only YOU will know this password, DO NOT share it with anyone. When you log in you will see a "Pilot Actions" menu. here is where you will be able to file your PIREP's, view your log book, as well as have access to HR forms you may need, such as Leave of Absence requests.
