## What Is a Bid?

A **bid** is your reserved flight. When you bid on a schedule, you are telling the system:

> “This is the flight I am planning to fly next.”

At UVA, pilots are limited to **one active bid at a time**, helping keep operations organized and realistic.

## How This Page Works

### If You Have No Active Bid

You’ll see a “No Active Bid” screen with quick-access options to:

- Browse schedules
- Search for flights
- Return to assignments
- Select your next flight

You must add a bid before you can begin flying.

### If You Have an Active Bid

When you have a bid, this page becomes your **flight planning center**.

You’ll see:

- Flight Number / Ident
- Departure Airport
- Arrival Airport
- Scheduled Departure / Arrival Times (if available)
- A live route map showing your departure and destination

This page confirms exactly what you’re scheduled to fly.

## Important Rules

### One Active Bid Policy

UVA allows **one active bid per pilot**.

If you already have a bid:

- You cannot add another flight.
- You must either **fly and submit the PIREP**  
    or
- **Remove your current bid** before selecting a new one.

This keeps the operation clean and prevents “bid stacking.”

---

## After You Fly

Once you complete your flight and submit your PIREP:

- Your bid will clear automatically.
- You’ll be able to select your next flight.

If your PIREP enters pending status (for AutoPIREP review), your bid will remain until it is processed.
