Membership
NorthernStar Airways is a virtual airline. This means, customarily, people join up, fly on official airline routes, use the official aircraft, report their flights, get credit for flight hours, and advance in standing.
You can do this. We currently have space for twenty (20) pilots. If you want to join, you will have to tell us who you are and provide a valid email address so that we can send you notices and information.
About Membership
Independent Operator
To join, you need to go to the registration page and provide the requested information.
We ask you to choose a Login Name. The login name is your unique identifier. It identifies you in all flight reports, and you use it to log in when you want to report a flight. If the name you choose is already in use, you must choose another.
Password is any six- to eight-letter sequence which only you will know. It can consist of letters, capitalized or uncapitalized, and digits 0-9.
Email is your email address. We must have it to keep you informed. For example, if we add to or change our routes, member pilots will be notified.
First and last name may be used to personalize messages sent to your email address, but will not be used in any other way. They don't even have to be your real name—we will never know.
If you forget your password, there is no automated way to reset it yet.
As an independent operator, you don't have to
- Become a member
- Use only our routes
- Obey our rules
- Report your flights
- Give us your name or email address
You can download our airplanes, if you want, and fly wherever you want.
In this mode, NorthernStar Airways merely acts as a resource for your own flying. You can get airplanes from us, ideas about where to fly, and information about flight simming with Microsoft Flight Simulator.
If you log your hours and later decide to join, you may get credit for some of that experience.
In addition to the basic name and email information, we also keep the following information about pilots:
- IFR rating.
- Turboprop rating.
- Jet engine rating.
- Hours accumulated
All pilots join with no hours and no ratings. A rating entitles you to fly IFR with ATC control, and to use advanced aircraft. The ratings are earned upon the accumulation of required flight hours and satisfactorily completing a demonstration flight.
Rating Hours Needed IFR
10 Turbo
40 Jet
100 As we currently have no jet aircraft, the need for jet ratings is not great.
Changes to pilot ratings and standings will require an email conversation.
