SunAir Express New Pilot Evaluation Program

Welcome to SunAir Express Virtual Airlines!

Before you can become a SunAir Express pilot you must first pass one evaluation check ride flight in the Boeing 737. To begin your evaluation please read the information below.

Thank you for your interest in SunAir Express, the worlds first Virtual Airline! SunAir Express has been in continuous operation since 1992. My name is Dave Blake, the Human Recourses Manager for SunAir Express. SunAir Express has issued over 700 pilot ID numbers and has flights to most major cities in the United States, flights to Alaska, Hawaii, the Caribbean, Mexico, South America, Europe, Australia, and the Far East with more than 1700 scheduled departures. To remain on the active pilot roster we ask pilots to fly a minimum of one flight per month but most pilots will fly one or more a week.

To join SunAir Express you will need to meet the following requirements:

SunAir Express is open to any pilot who can demonstrate the ability to fly, navigate and land a Boeing 737 under instrument meteorological conditions. This includes performing an ILS approach and landing with a touchdown rate of less then -500 feet per minute.
You need to own "Microsoft Flight Simulator" version 2002, 2004 or FSX, "Flight Assignment ATP", "Airline Simulator - AS", "Airline Simulator 2 - AS2", or "X-Plane".
Microsoft Flight Simulator users must use "FSACARS" to record flight events. FSACARS is free and can be downloaded here: www.satavirtual.org/fsacars/ or you may use the self-installer package provided when you to sign up for the Pilot Evaluation Program check ride flight.

To fly for SunAir Express you must also first read the SunAir Express Operations Manual: SAX Operations Manual

To improve your flight experience we recommend that you obtain a set of Terminal Procedure Books along with a set of High Altitude Charts. Low Altitude Charts are optional. These charts will come in handy while planning and completing your flights. You should be able to download most airport charts, departure and arrival charts from many web sites like www.myairplane.com and www.airnav.com.

When you are ready to start your evaluation check ride flight please follow the instructions below and I will enroll you in our New Pilot Evaluation Program. This program consists of one check ride flight of about one hour in the B737. All pilots must go through this evaluation before becoming a SunAir Express Captain using FSACARS and record a flight video of the landing. FSACARS will record many events during the flight. After passing your evaluation check ride flight you will have a choice of which Hub you wish to fly out of (Atlanta, San Francisco, Tampa, St. Louis, or Brussels).

If you have any questions about SunAir Express or our evaluation program please contact me. We are always looking for experienced pilots. If you have what it takes to be a SunAir Express virtual airline pilot please sign up today!
