Fellow Pilots
It is with great pleasure we announce the relaunch of Australia’s oldest Virtual Airline – QVA.
We have been running for nearly 14 years and we have stayed in business whilst other Qantas airlines have come and gone.
The relaunch involved moving to our new website which can be found here
We have vast experience amongst our ranks ranging from real world airline pilots to flight instructors. We have an experienced team that can help you through your virtual career at QVA in every department including online flying, fleet painting, check ride passes and flight sim technical support.
We hope to see you in the virtual skies soon.
The QVA Management Team

Hi mate
It’s quite simple. Basically join up via the website, you get placed on a roster. You then have to report 1 flight per month to stay active, this can range from a 20 minute Dash 8 flight to a 14hr 747 flight (dependant on your Pilot Category).
There is a route section where you can look at all routes within your category, just select the flight you want, go to the bid page, bid for it, fly it online or offline (that’s up to you), and report what you fly.
Pilots normally start off in CAT 1 and have to sit a Check Ride to progress to the next CAT (they are not hard), but with your real world experience I am sure we can insert you into a higher CAT straight away (just tell Bill you know me when you first apply and I’ll sort it out).
That’s about it really, we have a good download section, historical flights and downloads (historical downloads are being added by me as and when I find them), we have weekly online fly-ins, a good active forum, great charters to fly, some great routes (basically Qantas Routes) etc etc.
It’s easy, it’s good fun (if you’re not sick of flying during the day), and a good focus to use flight sim rather than just bimbling around the skies doing nothing and flying under bridges.
Let me know if you submit an application, and I’ll see to it that you get placed higher up the CAT system.

Deano, thanks for the post. I might join depending on my workload. How exactly does it work? (As you can see I don’t have time right now to go through the whole website).
