As a Japan Airlines Virtual pilot you can fly for both divisions, you can do any flights operated by Japan Airlines (JAL) JALways (JAZ) or JAL Cargo (JAL) (no codeshares with other carriers for the moment). However we would like to remind you that you should use the correct aircraft type for each flight as listed in the timetable.

JAL Flight Schedule Overview

At Japan Airlines Virtual we operate a flight schedule system quite different from the real JAL but we only changed the numbers (JALxxx) not the routes or frequency of the flights. We still have schedules for most jal routes (excluding charters and statesman flight) and even cargo flights. All flights in the system are JALxxx, but if you choose your "callsign" can be different but when filing a pirep please use the flight number from our site. You can even bid your flight and fly it on FSACARS or Simmiles Systems. We have about 5 other ways you can file a pirep with JAL Virtual so your in luck!

Our flight schedule template looks like this, agian we changed only the numbers not the flights!

Inter/Domestic Return Flights

JAL 2500 +

Flights that fly from a non hub/ or returning to a HUB will use a driffent number
but its quite simple to understand, every domestic airport will use a number from 3000

beyond so RJCC number is 3/000 and so fourth a from from rjtt to rjcc will be JAL345 coming back it will be JAL"3"345 and so on get the idea?

To get the most precise information about your flight we advise you to use our FSS (Flight Schedule System) in our pilots center or FlightStats flight search You can also use any other source, but in order to have your PIREP accepted the flight data should be corret.
