02/04/2021	Additional Aircraft available to fly when using MSFS2020	Paul Hale
Hi pilots, With many of our pilots flying using Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and the lack of available current aircraft available for that simulator, we have decided to break protocol and allow 2 new air-frames to be flown when logging flights with AFVA. MSFS2020 pilots will now be able to use the Cessna Longitude and TBM930 to file flight reports here, this has been introduced on a temporary basis and will be reviewed regularly as more aircraft options for this simulator are released. Please check your pilot profiles and see if you have the ratings, some pilots would have had them assigned automatically from being in the ERJ program at some point during their AFVA careers. If you do not have the ratings and want them added, please submit a help desk ticket and the ratings will be assigned to you. Please DO NOT fly either of these air-frames until you see the ratings in your pilot profiles or have been assigned them manually following a help desk request or the flight will risk being rejected. Please note: These ratings will only be accepted on MSFS2020 PIREPs and have been brought in as a special measure for pilots using this simulator due to a lack of available aircraft, Anybody using P3D, X-Plane or FSX will already have a huge array of air-frame options available for them to fly so shouldn't need to use these 2 new aircraft and run the risk of a flight rejection if they do. Enjoy the new ratings, Brian, Fredrik and Paul AFVA Senior Staff
