FLIGHT OPERATIONS
Using TNT Acars.
Installation of the ACARS software
Download the ACARS software from the Pilot Resource Center.
If you havn't got it already, download and install the free FSUIPC. Click 'cancel' if it prompts you for a license.
Install TNT acars by following the installation wizard.
Running the ACARS software for the first time.
Go to Info > Settings and put in your Pilot Id and Website Password. Press SAVE. Make sure your login and password are in the boxes, and press 'Verfiy Login Details' The bottom left information text should say "Good Connection". If not, a firewall is probably blocking the application. Exit the application and ammend your firewall. After selecting and booking your flight on the website, you can click 'Get Flight Bid Info'. When ready, parked at the gate with engines shut down, click 'Conntect to Flight sim'. Start logging, do your flight, and stop logging. File the PIREP.
Common Problems with the ACARS System If you cannot login, ensure your password and pilot ID are correct. Consult myself if you don't know your pilot ID. If you still can't login, restart your computer and change your password. Check a firewall isn't blocking the application. If you get an error when connecting to flight simulator, check FSUIPC is installed. the kAcars program needs to be running as the administrator.
Who do I contact should I have a problem with a flight or PIREP?
contact a staff member.
Do I have to fly a flight at the same time it is scheduled?
We do not require pilots to fly the flights at the time real-world indicated in our timetable, but we do encourage to set the FS Clock to this time.
Can I fly at a higher simulation rate?
A MAXIMUM of 1x simulation speed.
Can I fly online?
Yes! In fact, we do encourage pilots to use VATSIM/IVAO.
