Community goals
Community goals are targets every Canada Air Virtual pilot flies toward together. Each month there are usually two: one about how much we fly, and one about where we land.
The two kinds of goals
| Kind | Example | What counts |
|---|---|---|
| Volume | 3,500 flights this month, around the world 130 times, 7,500 hours in the air | Every accepted flight in the month adds its flight, hours or distance. |
| Airports | Every Canadian airport we serve, every CAV hub | A landing at one of the goal's airports ticks it off for everyone. Each airport only needs to be ticked once. |
Every flight counts, whatever you fly it with, as long as the PIREP is accepted. A PIREP waiting for review counts as soon as it's accepted.
Where to follow them
- Crew Centre on the website and the Home screen in CAVacars 2: a progress bar for each goal, and for airport goals the airports still needed that are nearest to you.
- The goal page (click a goal): the progress, your own share, and for airport goals a map with every airport (green when ticked off, red when still needed). The list of missing airports starts with the ones nearest to where you landed last, each with a Find flights link. Ticked airports show who got there first.
- After each flight, the summary in CAVacars 2 tells you what your flight added: "Your flight added 420 nm to Around the world: 63% done" or "CYTS ticked off! 61 of 94".
- What should I fly tonight? suggests flights to airports a goal still needs, marked Community goal.
- Discord announces each goal when it starts, posts at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%, and wraps up when the month ends.
The Community Flyer achievement
Every flight that counts toward a community goal counts toward the Community Flyer achievement: during a volume goal that's every accepted flight, and during an airport goal it's every landing at one of the goal's airports (even one someone else ticked off first).
| Tier | Flights |
|---|---|
| Bronze | 1 |
| Silver | 25 |
| Gold | 100 |
Like other achievements, it counts flights filed with CAVacars 2.
Questions
Do I have to sign up? No. Fly as usual: every accepted flight that fits a goal counts.
What if we don't reach a goal? Nothing is lost. The goal ends with the month and a new one starts. Your flights still count toward Community Flyer.
Which airports does "every airport we serve" mean? The airports our schedules fly to, fixed when the goal starts. The goal page lists all of them.
