Pilot of the month

Watch the video: Nice flights and pilot of the month

Some airlines pick a Pilot of the month. The rules are published, so everyone knows how to win, and the winner gets a certificate and a place on every pilot's dashboard.

How it works

1. Open Standings › Pilot of the month. The rules say what pilots are ranked by (most points, the softest average landing, most hours or most flights) and what a pilot needs that month.
2. Standings so far shows where pilots stand this month. Only accepted flights count, and never a co-pilot's copy of the captain's flight.
3. A few days after the month ends, the crew centre picks the winner. The wait lets flights still waiting for review count.
4. The winner gets a notification, and their name is on the dashboard for the month after.
5. If you won, download your certificate from Your certificates on the same page.

Good to know:

• Pilots who chose Leave me off leaderboards are never listed or picked.
• If nobody meets the rules in a month, nobody is picked for it.

For staff

Turn on Pilot of the month (Staff › Airline settings › Optional features). Staff with Events, tours and awards set the rules on Staff › Community › Pilot of the month:

1. Ranked by: most points, the softest average landing, most hours or most flights.
2. Flights needed in the month, and optionally the hardest average landing allowed.
3. Whether a rejected or invalidated flight that month rules a pilot out, and whether only ACARS flights count.

Changing the rules affects months that haven't been picked yet. A month that was already picked keeps its winner.
