6.0 PIREP Filing Procedures
6.1 Accepted Filing Methods

AAVA uses an advanced technological platform to accept Pilot flight reports (PIREPS) and we work flawlessly with the following third-party clients.

Any other form of PIREPS filing other than the ones described below will not be accepted. Each client comes with their own set of requirements described as follows:

  • vmsACARS
  • SMARTCARS 3

Pilots should use the vmsACARS program as the preferred tracker to file flight reports (PIREPS). This flight tracking software works with FSX, Prepar3D, X-Plane, FS2020, and FS2024, and bridges communications between AAVA servers and your Flight Simulator capturing flight information, position reports, and status updates.

The client transmits this information to the "Live Flights" section of the CrewCenter dashboard. you can always access your "Flight Details Page" by clicking on your flight number below the Map or by selecting your flight inside the Map and then clicking the flight number that appears. To download vmsACARS, follow this LINK

         6.1.1 MANUAL REPORTING

In the event of a system malfunction or client service issue, manual reports can be filed and accepted unless one or more of the following conditions are present:

  • Neither ACARS applications are working
  • ACARS crashes during flight

  • Malfunction with ACARS during a flight
