The Goal

The World Tour Challenge is meant as a means for all AFKLM Virtual pilots to have fun. And to have the ability to fly different aircraft and liveries and visit some new places around the Infinite Flight globe. This is not a race, per se!

That said, we do have a bit of competition and reward in store for you!

​

​Prizes:
First to finish:
Finish WT 1st = 60 hours
2nd = 50 hours
Finish 3rd = 40 hours 


Accuracy:
 Closest total time to 66hrs = 50 hours 


Best Photo 
In photo competition = 50 hours 


Stamina: 
Finish at least 12 legs of WT = 20 hours
​Finish all 25 legs of WT = 30 hours

Practicalities

Before you get started conquering the globe, make sure to take a moment to read through the fine print for World Tour 3! Rules will be enforced.
[1] Do I need to alter the pre-designated FPLs for each route?
As the flight plans are made in Simbrief, we all know that these are not always accurate. So, once you have spawned and checked the flight plan, you might want or need to make small adjustments to it.

​Refer to IF Procedures FPL to ensure you are flying the correct SIDs and STARs along your trip.    

[2] What happens if I encounter weather circumstances that may cause my flight to go longer or shorter than expected?
No problem at all, over 25 legs making it in 66 hours is the goal for meeting the Accuracy objective as stated above.
[3] How do I log my World Tour routes?  
When you log your flights into the AFKLM PIREP filing center, select "World Tour 3" in the Flight Mode field. In the Routes field, enter "WT3 Leg XX".

If you need help, refer to the tutorial video shown here.
Picture
[4] Do I get a flight time bonus for completing individual World Tour routes?
There is no bonus connected to individual legs. However, if you f
inish at least 12 legs of WT you will receive a 20 hour bonus. If you finish all 25 legs of WT you will receive an additional 30 hour bonus. In addition, all individual flights count towards your total AFKLM pilot hours. 
​
[5] If I fly different legs in a group or as a Flash Flight, do I receive a flight time bonus?
​
Group Flights or Flash Flights for World Tour Challenge routes do not get a bonus. Just regular flight time.

There is a built-in bonus structure for WT3 flights as follows: 
  • First to finish: Finish WT 1st = 60 hours; 2nd = 50 hours; Finish 3rd = 40 hours 
  • Accuracy: Most accurate time to (66hrs) = 50 hours 
  • Best Photo (in photo competition) = 50 hours
[6] Q. I was on final approach to my destination and my app crashed. Can I still log the flight? 
Unfortunately, no. Given the nature of the event and the competition we cannot accept any flights that have not been fully completed. A valid flight will involve traveling from gate-to-gate.    

[7] What Pilot ranks can participate in the World Tour?
All pilots and all ranks can participate in AFKLM events including the World Tour. AFKLM Trainees enrolled in the AKFLM Academy can also participate if they have completed CF1 training. As a reminder, once the CF1 training flight has been completed pilots have seven days to complete the CF training process in its entirety.  


[8] ATC is present at my destination airport. Should I follow AFKLM listed procedures or ATC recommended? 
Yes, it is a possible coincidence that ATC may have featured destinations of WT3 in the schedule. It happened last times too. In this situation, disregard the procedures listed by us (AFKLM) and follow all ATC instructions.
Picture

[9] Can I fly as fast as I want?
In one word, no. Remember, the World Tour is not intended to be a race across the globe. While we do reward you for being the quickest, we do not endorse flying faster than the recommended airspeed per aircraft. If you have any doubts, consult the Aircraft Performances Airtable by clicking here. Any pilot spotted flying faster than the standard airspeed will be disqualified from the World Tour. ​​​
[10] Can I submit as many pictures to the photo competition as I like?
No. A maximum of 10 pictures are allowed per pilot, so be keen on which ones to pick for your entry!
[11] Can I submit edited photos for the photo competition?
No. Edited photos are not allowed in WT3 Photo Competition.
