Tours

What Is UVTours? 
 UVTours is UVA’s structured tour system. 
 A tour is a multi-leg flight experience designed around a specific theme, region, aircraft type, or operational objective. 
 Each tour consists of sequential flight legs that must be completed in order. 
 
 How Tours Work 
 Every tour includes: 
 
 
 A defined list of flight legs 
 
 
 Specific departure and arrival airports 
 
 
 Aircraft restrictions (if applicable) 
 
 
 Sequential progression requirements 
 
 
 You must complete each leg before advancing to the next. 
 Skipping ahead is not permitted unless explicitly allowed by the tour design.

 Completing a Tour Leg

 Fly the exact route listed. 
 
 
 Submit your PIREP. 
 
 
 Ensure it is accepted. 
 
 
 Once accepted, the system advances you to the next leg. 
 
 Tour Progression Rules 
 
 
 Legs must be flown in order. 
 
 
 The flight must match the leg’s route. 
 
 
 The PIREP must be accepted. 
 
 
 Aircraft restrictions must be followed if specified. 
 
 
 If a PIREP is rejected, the leg does not count. 
 If the PIREP is pending, the tour will not advance until it is finalized. 
 
 Tour Completion 
 When all legs are completed: 
 
 
 The tour is marked complete. 
 
 
 Awards (if configured) are issued. 
 
 
 Your completion status is recorded permanently.
