II. Aircraft Access Policy

Access to the TSC Virtual fleet is determined by rank to ensure pilots gain experience on simpler aircraft before transitioning to long-haul and heavier operations.

Restricted Fleet Access (Trainee, Junior Officer, Second Officer)

Pilots starting out, or those who have transferred hours but are capped at the First Officer maximum, will begin with the following core narrow-body aircraft. This ensures proficiency in short-to-medium-haul operations.

Airbus A321-200
Airbus A321neo
Boeing 737 MAX 8 (Legacy)

Full Fleet Access (First Officer and Above)

Upon achieving the rank of First Officer (150 hours or the maximum allowed transfer rank), pilots gain access to the entire TSC Virtual fleet, including all long-haul wide-body aircraft.

Airbus A330-200
Airbus A330-300
Airbus A321-200
Airbus A321neo
Airbus A310-300 (Legacy)
