Auto PIREP

Purpose 
 The AutoPIREP & Points System is designed to streamline PIREP processing by automatically evaluating flights, rewarding good flying practices, and reducing the need for manual staff intervention—while still allowing flexibility for pilots when needed. 
 
 How AutoPIREP Works 
 AutoPIREP automatically evaluates SmartCARS PIREPs on a recurring basis to determine their outcome based on flight behavior and performance data. 
 
 Flights are submitted normally via SmartCARS 
 All newly submitted PIREPs initially appear as Pending 
 AutoPIREP evaluates new SmartCARS PIREPs every 5 minutes 
 Based on the evaluation, a PIREP will:
 
 Auto-Accept — Clean, well-flown flights 
 Auto-Reject — Crashes, slewing, or extreme landing events 
 Remain Pending — Borderline cases or sim-rate usage 
 
 
 You do not need to wait for evaluation before starting your next flight 
 
 
 Manual & Offline PIREPs 
 Manual or offline PIREPs are excluded from automatic evaluation and require staff review. 
 
 Manual or offline PIREPs are not auto-evaluated 
 These PIREPs will remain Pending until reviewed by staff 
 
 
 Points System Overview 
 Each flight is scored using a simple points-based system that reflects overall flight quality and behavior. 
 
 Every flight begins with a base score of 100 
 Your score may increase or decrease based on how you fly 
 Factors include:
 
 Landing quality 
 Sim-rate usage 
 Stall events 
 General flight behavior 
 
 
 Your final score determines:
 
 How many points you earn 
 The PIREP’s final outcome 
 
 
 
 
 Using Points to Force-Accept a PIREP 
 When eligible, pilots may use accumulated points to immediately approve a PIREP. 
 
 A “Use Points to Accept” button appears on eligible PIREPs 
 The button is only visible when eligibility requirements are met 
 Point Costs: 
 
 Pending PIREP — 150 points 
 Auto-Rejected PIREP — 500 points 
 
 
 Using points immediately approves the PIREP 
 All point usage is logged for auditing purposes 
 
 
 Pending PIREPs & Review Window 
 Pending PIREPs provide a short review window before staff action is taken. 
 
 Pending PIREPs may remain pending for up to 48 hours 
 This allows pilots time to decide whether to use points 
 After 48 hours, staff may review and finalize the PIREP if no action was taken
