A Pilot's Life

What Is A Pilot’s Life v2?

A Pilot's Life v2 is a third-party career add-on developed by SimBitWorld.

It generates realistic airline schedules and career progression inside Microsoft Flight Simulator.

UVA’s APL page is an integration tool that allows pilots to import and fly their APL schedules directly through the UVA system.

How UVA’s APL Integration Works

If you are using A Pilot’s Life v2:

1. Generate your schedule inside the APL application.

2. Import or sync that schedule into UVA.

3. Fly those legs through smartCARS.

4. Submit your PIREPs normally.

This allows your flights to:

• Count toward UVA hours

• Be evaluated by AutoPIREP

• Appear in your UVA flight history

• Contribute toward awards and statistics

You are essentially flying your SimBitWorld career inside UVA.

What the APL Page Shows

On the APL page inside UVA, you will see:

• Your imported flight legs

• Completion status (Completed / Current / Upcoming)

• Route progression

• Visual map of your journey

• Overall progress tracking

Only your current active leg should be flown.

Important Operational Rules

When flying APL legs through UVA:

• The route must match your imported APL schedule.

• The correct aircraft/subfleet must be used.

• The PIREP must be accepted.

• AutoPIREP scoring still applies.

If a PIREP is rejected or pending, progression in UVA will not advance until resolved.

Why Use the Integration?

This integration allows you to:

• Maintain realism in A Pilot’s Life v2

• Log flights inside UVA

• Use smartCARS tracking

• Benefit from UVA’s grading and point system

• Keep all your flying centralized

It bridges your single-player career experience with the UVA community ecosystem.

What UVA Does Not Do

UVA does not:

• Generate APL schedules

• Modify APL career logic

• Override APL progression rules

All career structure remains managed by the A Pilot’s Life v2 application itself.

UVA simply provides a way to fly and track those schedules within our operational system.
