Route Verification Returns

Although not widely known, for the past year AeroTexas route verification was suspended in an effort to collect information about where our members preferred to fly. After carefully analyzing the data, the AeroTexas flight system was extensively revised, and route verification has now been re-instituted. With route verification now back in place, you should check the website to see what flights are available before you begin your flight, otherwise it may not count!

Now don't look so glum...it should be noted that even with route verification you should still be able to log most, if not all, of your flights - no matter where you go or what aircraft you use. So cross-logging, exploration flights, and personal non-system flights can still be logged as long as you use ATAVS. However, and this is effective today, Non System Flights (NSF) will not count toward official promotions, achievements, or awards.

What flights are valid?
1. All flights on the routes page, including flights for Trans Texas Airways.
2. All cargo flights.
3. Return flights (see below).
4. Special events flights, when specified.

Return Flights
Return flights include any flight that when completed would result in the return of an aircraft to its original point of departure. Basically it's flying a stranded aircraft back where it belongs. Credit for these flights is granted only when flown with the specified aircraft equipment type. For example, if you flew a 737-400 from Austin to Houston, and then to Cancun, the return flight from Cancun to Austin would be considered a valid flight, even though it is not published on the website.
Another example would be the return leg of a cargo flight, just remember to use the same type of aircraft to get credit. You may only fly your own return flights and you view the status of these flights from your Members Only page.

Special Event Flights
Occasionally AeroTexas will hold special events with flights to places that are not part of our regular flight table. These flights will be always announced in advance and will count towards promotions and awards unless otherwise specified.
