Virtual Air Care Alliance

Created by Chris Kiernan, Modified on Thu, 13 Nov at 2:46 PM by Chris Kiernan

We're thrilled to announce our partnership with the Air Care Alliance (ACA), bringing real-world impact to virtual aviation through our Mission Board feature. This innovative program enables pilots to utilize their flight simulation skills to support charitable aviation organizations by flying realistic public benefit missions in Microsoft Flight Simulator or X-Plane.

HOW TO GET STARTED

Getting started is easy! You don't even have to have your sim running to pick up a mission!

- Log in to the pilot portal. On the left, under Flight Operations, you will see a tab called "Mission Board"

- Scroll through the missions and find one you would like to fly, click request. If you are already in your plane and have Sayintentions.AI running, you will hear a ding, and see the mission appear in your app!

- If you arent already, log in to your sim and start SayIntentions. Your mission will be loaded automatically.

- As with everything in SayIntentions, YOU choose how to fly. At this point you can fly VFR, IFR, or just go!

- Fly the mission, once you land at the destination, you will be credited for the flight!

FAQ

When I start up the app after I pick a mission, do I press new flight?

No. If you do hit "new flight" it'll cancel your mission. Easily fixable though! just quickly go back into your portal and pick up the mission again, which should be back on the mission board, provided someone hasn't taken it.

I picked up a mission, but accidentally forgot to hit new flight after my last one!

Not a problem. Hit "new flight", then go back to the mission board and grab your mission again.

I picked up a mission, but I can't fly it immediately. How long do I have?

You have 24 hours to fly the mission, after which it returns to the mission board. You can only have 1 mission assigned at a time

I saw a mission I liked an hour ago on the board, but it's gone now!

ACA missions are community-driven missions. Every mission on the board is shared by all the pilots of SayIntentions.AI. The mission board receives new missions multiple times a day, so keep checking back!
