TRK
Live tracking & ACARS
Every aircraft on one map, updating as your pilots fly. Position pings are buffered on the tracking layer, not in your database, and summarised on shutdown — so a 90-minute flight writes one row to it, not five thousand.
VMSVirtual airline management
Early accessRun a virtual airline the way a real one gets dispatched.
Your pilots bid a flight, fly it in their sim, and land. AeroVMS validates the flight, scores it out of 100, pays the pilot and books the profit — before they've finished the shutdown checklist.

Flight progress baySample
----Z2 airborne · 4 stripsMotion reduced
Air traffic control works a bay of paper strips, one per aircraft, advanced by hand as each flight moves through its phases. This is the same bay, running itself — which is roughly the point.
Early access
Founding airlines are boarding now.
AeroVMS is new, and we would rather say so than borrow someone else's numbers. What the first 10 airlines get instead: $19 a month against a $29 list price, held for the life of the subscription, migration handled with them rather than at them, and a direct line to the people building it. 10 airlines, then the rate closes for good.

One database per airline
OPSThe loop
One flight, start to finish, with nobody in the middle.
A pilot takes a flight, flies it, and lands. Everything between the shutdown checklist and the money in the airline's account happens on its own.
- BID01 / 6
Take the flight
Pick from the published schedule, hold it on your bid list for 48 hours, fly a tour leg, or file a charter.
- DSP02 / 6
Dispatch
Load the SimBrief OFP — fuel, payload, cost index — confirm the tail and the callsign.
- FLY03 / 6
Fly it
MSFS, X-Plane 12, P3D or FSX with AeroCARS or smartCARS 3 running. Position streams at 1 Hz.
- TRK04 / 6
Watch it move
The whole airline sees the flight on the live map. Pings are buffered on the tracking layer and archived to object storage — they never bloat your database.
- VAL05 / 6
Validate on shutdown
Route, aircraft, block time and anomalies are checked automatically. Clean flights pass; anything odd is held for review.
- PAY06 / 6
Score, log, pay
A 0–100 flight score, hours to the logbook, pay to the pilot, and the P&L line to the airline's books.
PRPValidation & scoring
Every flight gets a number, and we show our working.
Landing rate, route adherence and professionalism, weighted and scored the moment the engines are cut. Clean flights are accepted automatically. Anything odd is held for a human — never silently rejected.
- LDGLanding rate40%
- Vertical speed at touchdown, in bands. −50 to −250 fpm is butter and scores 100. Below −1,000 fpm scores zero and is flagged.
- RTERoute adherence35%
- How much of the flown track stayed inside a ±10 nm corridor of the filed route, at a sane cruise level. 98%+ takes full marks.
- PROProfessionalism25%
- Starts at 100 and deducts: overspeed −10, stall warning −15, gear or flap overspeed −10, pause in flight −5, taxi above 30 kt −5.
On the Airline tier every weight, band and penalty above is yours to change.

SYSWhat you get
Eight systems, one airline.
Everything a virtual airline needs to run, built once and sold as one plan — not as eight separate products, and not as a base tier with the good half behind an upgrade.
PRP
PIREP validation & scoring
Filed on engine shutdown, checked against the assignment, and scored out of 100 before the pilot leaves the cockpit. Clean flights never touch a staff member.
SKD
Schedules, bidding & dispatch
Build the route network by hand or import real-world schedules, then let pilots hold flights on a bid list instead of racing each other for the good ones.
CRW
Careers & progression
Hours, ranks, pay and aircraft unlocks tracked automatically. A pilot always knows how far they are from the left seat of the 777.
FIN
Virtual economy
Every flight books a real profit or loss. Fares, fuel, leases, landing fees and maintenance reserves come out of an airline balance you have to keep in the black.
EVT
Events, tours & awards
Multi-leg tours, scheduled fly-ins with registration and gate lists, group flights your pilots can see each other on, and awards that grant themselves.
ADM
Staff control dashboard
Roster, fleet, routes, review queue, economy and configuration in one console, with granular staff roles so your events lead can't reprice the fleet.
API
API, webhooks & your data
A documented REST API and webhooks for everything, plus a one-click export of the whole airline. Nothing here is a hostage.

FINVirtual economy
Flights that make or lose money.
Fares, load factors, fuel, crew, leases, landing fees and maintenance reserves all come out of an airline balance you have to keep in the black. A half-empty long-haul on expensive fuel loses money — which is the entire point.
- Buy aircraft outright or lease them by the day, and feel the difference on the balance sheet.
- Every hub keeps its own P&L, ranked, so you know where to base the fleet.
- Underused leased tails quietly bleed money, exactly as they do in the real thing.
- Low-balance alerts before the airline runs itself into the ground.
Airline tier
PLTThe platform
Hosted properly, and never locked.
No server to patch, no plugin to fight, and no version of this where your community's history is held hostage.
ISO
Your own database
Every airline gets its own isolated Postgres database — not a shared table with a tenant column. Your database has no neighbours.
EDG
Runs at the edge
Served from Cloudflare's network, so the crew centre loads the same whether your pilots fly from Seattle, São Paulo or Singapore.
OUT
The door is unlocked
One-click import from phpVMS on the way in, and a full export of everything on the way out — during the trial, on any plan, and after you stop paying. Stop the subscription and the airline goes read-only, not missing.

MIGAlready running an airline
Bring your pilots, their hours, and every PIREP they ever filed.
Moving off phpVMS shouldn't cost your veterans their seniority. Import the roster, hours, ranks and history so the pilot who has flown 1,200 hours for you still has flown 1,200 hours on Monday.
