Here at the Pilot's Center is where you will find a lot of informative information for you to enjoy. Just scroll down to view this page for more information.

This chart will help you convert your time from minutes to decimal. All flight reports must be shown in decimal form. You can make Flight Simulator log your hours to the decimal time by going to setting and display, there is a box there just check log flight time. When you exit FS a box will appear giving you your flight time in decimal time.
****For you convenience this conversion chart is also located on the pilot report page****

The above link is where you can become a Certified Noble Pilot. What is involved is simple. The Flight School has 3 test to be taken. The Recreational is optional. The required test are the Private, Commercial and Air Transport. When taking these test be sure to include Noble Air @ Boston as your Virtual Airline.  After the test is taken, the Flight School will send the Hub Captain an email with your grades. Once all 3 test are complete and you have passed, you will be awarded the Certified Noble Pilot ribbon which will  be placed on the roster page................... Good Luck...................................

Certificates

 Each pilot is entitled to a certificate of promotion upon reaching certain hours which is listed at the bottom of the roster page. Not knowing if any pilot wants these certificate, what I will do is issue a certificate to any pilot that request them upon his promotion.

Ribbons

These ribbons are made available to all pilots at the Boston Hub. These ribbons will be issued to all pilots that meets the requirements. Any pilot flying accelerated simulated rate will not be awarded any ribbon in the event such rate is discovered. The Hub Captain reserves the right to remove any ribbon from any pilot that violates this procedure. We are all here to have fun so please be fair to others and do it honestly.
