Training
Welcome to the FreeWorld flight school. Our aim is to provide training for FreeWorld pilots as well as conducting flight tests.
Pilots who would like active training are more than welcome to attend our bi-monthly pilot nights where a variety of topics are covered in an informal environment.
In order to enhance realism of operations, the airline operates a rating system for all pilots. Upon joining the airline, new pilots will be assigned temporary trainee permit allowing them to fly and log select flights for training purposes, and are expected progress towards First Officer, then Captain to have access to larger aircraft, and expanded routes as well as special missions. This progress consists of several stages, with appropriate pilot ratings and flight tests listed below. Pilots already having real-world experience, or holding an IVAO pilot rating may request a direct upgrade.
Pilots may sign up to our monthly practical exams through the training forum or by sending an email to the chief pilot. The written exams may be downloaded directly from this site.
If you have any further questions please post in our Training forum
