Greetings, esteemed pilots! Today, we are excited to guide you through the process of using Aegean Airlines Virtual’s “Icarus” software to accurately track your VA flights. This post is particularly tailored for those flying with airlines operated by, partnered with, or in an alliance with Aegean Airlines Virtual, such as Olympic Air and Sky Express Greece. For additional information and guidance on using Icarus, we recommend referring to the Icarus Manual/Documentation, available at the bottom left of any Icarus-related page.
Getting Started
- Firstly, ensure you are a member of the Aegean Airlines VA on FsHub. If you haven’t already, join here!
- Next, create an account at the Aegean Air member portal located at https://my.aegeanairva.com.
But I Already Have an Account, what do I need to do?
- If you already have an account, there is no need to recreate it. Visit the Aegean Air member portal.
- Go to your profile settings and select the “Airlines” tab.
- Click the ‘Resync’ button. The process will take a few seconds to complete. Once done, you can continue to the next step.
Generating a Flight as a Different VA
- When creating a flight, as long as you have synced your account properly (as mentioned previously), you will be able to view your available airlines in the dropdown menu. The system will, by default, pick the airline used in your last flight.
- Enter your flight details as usual and create your flight.
On Landing Rate Monitor:
- Ensure you select the VA you are flying as well. If your flight, for any reason, appears under a different VA, it will not be properly tracked, and you will have to submit a manual PIREP.
- Refer to the LRM wiki (https://wiki.fshub.io) for more details about this operation.
We hope this guide has provided you with an understanding of how to navigate Icarus for tracking your VA flights across various airlines within the Aegean Airlines Virtual family. Should you need further assistance or have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to our support team, who are always ready to help.
Thank you for being a valued member of the Aegean Airlines Virtual community. We look forward to sharing countless memorable flights with you across the beautiful virtual skies.
Fly high, and happy landings!
