Type Rating. 

Before you can fly an aircraft in Air Hauler you must take a “Type Rating” for each aircraft you wish to fly. This is achieved by clicking on the “Add Type Rating” button. This will show a list of all aircraft you have imported from FSX. On selecting your aircraft type a window will appear telling you how much it costs and which varies considerably from say, a Cessna 172 to a Airbus A380.

Air Hauler will load the aircraft in FSX and Air Hauler Flight Monitoring will be active. You will be tasked to take-off smoothly and climb to a specified altitude. If you exceed any of the parameters such as excessive air speed, banking too sharply or climbing/descending too much you will fail the check.  After flying at different altitudes and headings you will be asked to land back at base with a OK or better landing. It doesn’t take much to fail the rating so you need to be careful and make a good landing.

Below are my current type ratings.

Additional type rating for B747-400 Added 7th March 2020

 

Having added the Lockheed L1011 Tristar to my inventory I had to take a Type Rating before I could fly it. This was achieved to the satisfaction of Air Hauler as shown in the above right listing.
