During the Flight

Monitoring your flight

During your flight, it is a good idea to keep an eye on the flight tracking in smartCARS 3 to avoid any nasty surprises upon arrival.

The screen below will show you all the details of how smartCARS 3 is tracking your flight.

You can also consult the Live Flights section of our website to ensure your flight is being recognized there. 

If you are flying a Tour Leg or Event, the Type column in the table should properly identify the Tour Leg or Event. If it does not, your flight was not dispatched properly. Consult our Tours and Events guides for more details.

Pause at ToD

SmartCARS 3 features a Pause at TOD toggle button which will pause the simulator when smartCARS 3 think it's time for you to descend. This may not be 100% accurate, but it is a decent way to ensure you don't forget to return to the cockpit when it's time to do things.

Simply toggle on the option. When the sim reaches TOD, smartCARS 3 will pause the sim. You'll then be able to unpause from smartCARS 3.

Sky Blue Radio

smartCARS 3 has Sky Blue Radio integrated into the application. You can access it via the button at the bottom of all screens.
