Q: Luxair VA flights and Cargolux VA flights? A: Luxair VA flights are passenger flights. You as the pilot are responsible for choosing the appropriate aircraft (Dash-8 Q400 or 737-700). Consider the flight distance, the amount of passengers you have to transport and target airport specifications, when choosing a plane from our fleet. Cargolux VA flights are cargo flights performed exclusively with the 747-8F.

A: Pick a route in the "Routes" section and add the corresponding callsign (see above paragraph) and flight number to your plane in Infinite Flight. Once you have chosen a route, spawn at the airport and devise an efficient flight plan. If ATC is available you can also request radar vectors to your destination airport; otherwise request flight following with the respective ATC (so you can follow your own flight plan). Important: always behave respectfully and mature and follow ATC instructions. You represent Luxair VA and Cargolux VA after all! After you have performed your flight, file a flight record on our Slack "#flightlog" channel.
Q: How do I perform a Charter flight? A: Charter flights are performed using the Cessna 208 the Cessna Citation X or the Airbus A318 and give the pilot the freedom to fly to any airport he wishes (e.g. design your own route). If you do a charter flight for a route you devised yourself, please wear "Luxair" as callsign followed by the number "300" as ID. Don't forget to file a flight log on Slack afterwards.
Q: Is there a ranking system amongst the pilots? A: Yes, a simple one. You start as a Luxair VA Pilot in Traing ("LUA PIT"). After 10 successful flights, you will be promoted to the rank of First Officer ("LUA FO"). When you reach 50 flights, you become a Captain ("LUA CA"). Distinguished and dedicated members can subsequently obtain the rank of Senior Captain ("LUA SCA"), at the discretion and by special appointment of the Luxair VA CEO.
