Realism Project: Phase 1 Release – January 1, 2025
Phase 1 of the Realism Project is largely a Pilot Manual update.
The changes in the PM require pilots to submit a report for certain events. The list of events requiring a report is in Chapter 6, Flight Operations Reports.
Access the Flight Operations Reports form on the website by going to Flight Operations -> Reports.
The form will present the required information as well as the ability to send yourself a copy of your report to your email address on file.
Additionally, Phase 1 begins to address the high number of hard landings we are seeing in PIREPs. Look at the requirements following a hard landing in Chapter 6, Hard Landings.
These changes become effective on January 1, 2025 when the updated PM is uploaded.
