Aircraft names

Watch the video: Fleet and routes day to day

Give each aircraft of your fleet its own name, such as "Spirit of Cairo". Pilots see the name next to the registration when they pick an aircraft to book, on their booking, on the dashboard and on their PIREPs.

Switching it on

Turn on Aircraft names in Staff › Airline settings › Optional features (under Booking and dispatch).

Naming an aircraft

1. Open Staff › Operations › Fleet.
2. Press Edit on the aircraft.
3. Type its name in Aircraft name (up to 60 characters) and press Save.

To remove a name, empty the field and save. Turning the feature off hides the names without deleting them.

Use your airline's own names. Don't use a living person's name without their consent, and don't use brand or product names. If your virtual airline is named after a real airline, you may give an aircraft the name the real one carries, one at a time, as your virtual airline's own; don't copy a whole list from somewhere else.

A featured aircraft for an event

An event can feature one of your named aircraft:

1. Open Staff › Community › Events.
2. Under the event, choose the aircraft in Featured aircraft and press Save (the list shows once an aircraft has a name).

The event page then shows the featured aircraft, and names every pilot whose event flight was on it, first to fly it first. A flight counts once it is accepted, like every event flight. The PIREP page of such a flight says so too.

Choose None to take the feature off the event.
