Welcome to the Virtual Pilots Association

The Virtual Pilots Association (VPA) was created by hardcore flight-simmers and real pilots wanting to create a new federative community of real and virtual pilots. This community was created to fill some gaps in virtual aviation and virtual airlines with a unique place where pilots could fill their logbooks with general aviation, airliner and classic experience and in the future other kinds of flying machines. But that is just the beginning of many other features that came to mind. We also created a fun environment to learn, exchange and fly!

The Virtual Pilots Association is now offering a unique experience where you start a virtual pilot career, fly any plane you want from and to any place in the world with general aviation, simulate any real-world airline operation, and increase your experience in many ways, even if you're already a member of a virtual airline.

But that's not all!

You're not alone! You can communicate with other members and management thru our forum and Live Chat.

Also any flight you do changes the community environment. When flying at VPA you gain points. This exclusive function introduces an offer/demand system in our operations and according to your flight the number of points you gain varies. The more an airline or destination is flown, the fewer points it gives and vice-versa. And that's only a small part of it!
