September’s Hub Competition will focus on distance. The longer the flight distance between the departure and arrival airport, the more points you can earn for your hub!
<br></br>
Each pirep submitted using ACARS v1.1 at 1x sim rate will earn your hub 1 base point. The entire flight must be flown on ACARS from start to finish. In addition to the base point, you will earn a bonus for distance flown. The bonus can range anywhere from 0 extra points for a short flight (e.g. ONT-OXR) or up to 15 extra points for a long flight (e.g. ONT-EZE).
Both the base point and distance bonus will then be multiplied by the hub differential for the day. Finally, you will also be awarded 1 additional point for flying your flight on Vatsim.
In addition to this months hub competition, we wanted to spice it up a little more! We are adding a individual contest based on the hub competition. There will be 3 raffles offered, with each one costing 5 MetroMiles to participate in. Pilots can choose which raffles they want to participate in, just one or all. That is up to you. The top 3 winners of each raffle will earn MetroMile prizes in the following amounts:
- 1st Place: 40% of MetroMiles collected
- 2nd Place: 30% of MetroMiles collected
- 3rd Place: 20% of MetroMiles collected
The remaining 10% for each raffle will be distributed by the Hub Manager of the respective hub as he sees fit.
