Saving and submitting the pirep
By default, smartCARS 3 will automatically submit your pirep to our VA Management System once the deboarding stage is entered. This is typically triggered by shutting off the engines.
You'll see a status message of the pirep submission in the bottom right of the application, and you will also be able to see your pirep in the Logbook.
If your flight met all required parameters for a successful flight, the pirep will be instantly accepted. Any Tour Leg progress, Event awards, or other awards based on flight time, distance, etc, will immediately be credited.
If there are some potential issues detected with your flight, your pirep will be held in pending status until reviewed by a Canada Air Virtual staff member.
