The aeroplane icon in the menu indicates the Flight Center. Here, you will be able to view your flights that you have bid on, create a charter flight (if allowed by the VA), or find a flight to bid on.

Finding a new flight

1. Click "Find Flights"
2. Find a flight in the list, or filter your search by selecting a departure airport, arrival airport, aircraft or callsign. These will be populated by your virtual airline.
3. Click on the "+" icon, or if you have SimBrief installed, you can plan with SimBrief directly from here

As a Pro user, you can search for custom flight types such as bush flights, corporate/charter contracts, and more.

Once back on the flight page, buttons appear on the right side of the flight. You can delete the bid, view it on a map, or plan it with SimBrief.

Chartering a flight

By clicking "Create Flight", pilots can make use of the charter system within smartCARS 3. From the images below, pilots can fill in the callsign, aircraft type, flight type, cruise level, departure and arrival airports, departure and arrival times, and the route.

Once all information has been entered, clicking "Create" will then take you back to the Flight Center.
