ATAVS Update and Beta Development

In the members only area there is an updated equipment file to support air-taxi service, and expand cargo operations with additional aircraft. Download this update, and extract the CSV file to the folder where ATAVS is installed.

On a related note, beta testing for ATAVS 6 is going along nicely. This will be a "light" version when compared to ATAVS 5, because it won't include cabin announcements or checklists. However it will make up for it with continuous operation mode (no need to shutdown and restart after each flight), and will include a viewable logbook with an hour totalizer.

July Update

July flights numbered 188 and were up almost 7% from a year ago, with cargo accounting for 13% of all flights. AeroTexas carried 15,229 passengers, and 25.66 tons of cargo.

Server Update and Message Board

We had a little hiccup in the server yesterday, but everything is back to normal. If you filed a flight report on August 13 or 14 that is not reflected on the roster please send me an e-mail message and attach the vlog.txt file (located in the folder where you installed ATAVS). On a related note, the messageboard is being upgraded and will be down today and tomorrow.

Annual Check Ride

The Annual Checkride returns! Plans are under way for the 2008 checkride to begin sometime in early September. This will be a mandatory activity for all members, staff, and Partners. The checkride will count as an active member flight, and there will be a 3-week window for completion of the checkride. More details will be posted here soon.
