How you fly
How you fly matters.
Three modes. One career. Pick the mode that fits how you fly, and switch between them as your rank and availability change — your hours and AP carry across.
Casual Mode
Aurora · 0h
Fly the line at your own pace
The default experience for new pilots. File any unlocked route, log the PIREP, and build flight hours toward your rank — no rigid scheduling. (Aurora Points are earned in Career mode.)
Best for
Pilots who fly when they can and want progression without pressure
- ✓No schedule windows
- ✓Any unlocked aircraft / route
- ✓Builds rank hours (no AP)
Career Mode
Elysian · 75h
A structured, simulated career
Bid for monthly rotations, follow a fixed roster, and operate under realistic airline constraints — fatigue, rest, and reserve duty all apply.
Best for
Pilots who want a real-world airline rhythm and faster progression
- ✓AP + a flat on-time bonus
- ✓Counts double toward rank
- ✓Eligible for command upgrade pathway
Cargo Mode
Zenith · 300h · staff approval
Freight, ferry, and charter ops
A separate freight track that runs alongside Casual or Career mode. Move loads out of Brussels & London for Logistic Coins (LC). Unlocking it requires reaching Zenith and a quick staff application to confirm you're ready for the heavier ops.
Best for
Senior pilots who want long, technical sectors and unusual routings
- ✓Earns Logistic Coins, not AP
- ✓Higher risk bands pay more
- ✓Staff application required to unlock
