The criteria used to determine these categories:

Approved Pending Rejected

To qualify as an approved PIREP, the flight must meet the following criteria:

  1. The flight successfully departed and arrived at the scheduled airports.
  2. The landing rate during the arrival was above -600 feet per minute (fpm), adhering to United Virtual's standard for a safe and satisfactory landing.


 

A PIREP is categorized as pending if it meets one or more of the following criteria:

  1. The landing rate of the aircraft exceeded the standard of -600 feet per minute (fpm).
  2. The flight log indicates that a stall was experienced at some point during the flight.
  3. The flight log indicates that the flight landed or diverted to an airport other than the scheduled arrival airport.
  4. A manual PIREP was filed by the pilot.

These criteria help distinguish PIREPs that require further review or additional information before approval.

The rejection of PIREPs is at the discretion of our Hub Managers. PIREPs may be rejected for the following reasons:

  1. The aircraft landing rate exceeded the standard of -600 feet per minute (fpm).
  2. The flight log indicates that a stall was experienced during the flight.
  3. The flight log shows that the flight landed or diverted to an airport other than the scheduled arrival airport.
  4. The pilot did not enter a route into SmartCARS.
  5. The pilot is/was abusing the Charter system.

If a flight is rejected for a Tour leg, the pilot will not proceed to the next flight until an accepted PIREP is received. This ensures adherence to standards and fair play within the aviation community.

If you think your PIREP was rejected for the wrong reasons, please reach out to your Hub Manager, or submit a ticket on Discord.
