Linking Community Forum Account #

Callsigns are used whilst flying to identify you and for the Air Traffic Controllers to communicate with you. In addition to this, a unique user identifier is shown by default. If, however, you have an Infinite Flight Community (IFC) account, you can choose to have your username displayed alongside your callsign. To link your account, follow the steps below:

Step 1

: Next to Community Forum Account, tap the “Connect” button

Step 2

: A pop up will appear to confirm that you are happy for your information to be shared between the Infinite Flight app and website. Tap “Continue”

Step 3

: A community.infiniteflight.com pop up will appear that will allow you to either login or create a new account (if you are already logged in on that device, it will automatically register this and you will only need to tap “authorize”)

Step 4

: Once completed, it will return to the app and you will see that your IFC username is now displayed

Tip

: Don’t want your IFC username to show in-flight? No problem! You can still link your account if you want to, then visit Settings > Live where you can un-tick the “Show Username In-Flight” box!

The Grade Table #

Tip

: Your Grade Table can be found by tapping Settings > Account > Account Statistics > View Stats

The Grade Table is categorized into the following 4 sections:

• General Pilot Stats
• Level 1 Violations
• Level 2 Violations
• Level 3 Violations

1. The first column lists the parameters that determine your grade, these are listed in the table below

2. This column (displayed in white) shows what you have currently logged/received as a pilot

3. The final column shows the requirements that you need to meet in order to progress to the next grade:

   • green parameters mean you have met the requirements for the next grade
   • orange parameters mean that you are yet to meet the requirement - this may be due to a deficiency or an exceeded limitation

4. The “Show Violation History” tab will open a log that shows all violations, why they were received, and, if issued by a Controller, their username. This can then be used when appealing a Level 2 or Level 3 Violation if you believe it was issued in error

Below is a table that outlines the different Grade requirements:

{.grade-table}

Below is a table that outlines all the Grade Table parameters and a brief description of them:

*Examples of Violation to Landing Ratios:

• 10 Level 1 Violations (total) and 20 Landings (12 months) would give a ratio of 0.50
• 10 Level 1 Violations (total) and 10 Landings (12 months) would give a ratio of 1.00
• 20 Level 1 Violations (total) and 10 Landings (12 months) would give a ratio of 2.00

Callsigns #

Callsigns are used while flying to identify you and for the Air Traffic Controllers to communicate with you. Follow the steps below to change your callsign:

Step 1

: From the home screen, tap your user profile in the top right hand corner of your device

Step 2

: The “Account” tab should automatically display, but it can be selected from the navigation bar on the left of your device if it hasn’t

Step 3

: Tap the edit “pencil” symbol to the right of your device in line with “Callsign”

Step 4

: Using the navigation bar on the left of the screen, you can either select the “Airlines” or “General Aviation” tabs

Step 5

: There are three columns displayed that can be used to customize your callsign. If you selected the “Airlines” tab, then you can scroll through the first column to select the airline you wish to use. The second column can be tapped to enter an alphanumeric identifier, tap “OK” when you are happy with your selection. Finally, a “Suffix” can be added by tapping the desired one. You can select “None” if you do not wish to use one

Tip

: Want a more realistic experience? Try to match your aircraft livery with the callsign you are using! As well as this, make sure to only add the “Heavy” suffix when you have a gross take-off weight of more than 300,000lbs (136,000kgs) and the “Super” suffix when operating the A380

Step 6

: If you selected the “General Aviation” tab, the same process as above applies however instead of the airline callsign, the “Country Code” is used instead

There is also a search bar available to find the airline or general aviation code you want

Tip

: The country code applies to where the aircraft is registered - therefore it does not need to be the same as the country you are flying from/to!

How to Format General Aviation Callsigns #

Key:

• “AB” means any two letter combination, “ABC” means any three letter combination, and so on
• “12” means any two number combination, “123” means any three number combination, and so on

The table below shows the formatting that must be used when selecting an ID for a General Aviation callsign:
