Arabian Fleet Overview

Below is the current ranking information for the Arabian Airlines fleet. Our fleet is divided into categories, CAT A - F, which have certain training and hour requirements attached to them. Arabian Airlines gives special 'awards' for pilots with over 100 hours on the VATSIM network. [Note as of October 12, 2007] These hours must be flown under the ARB callsign to be credited as Arabian certified.

Please read and understand the Category hour requirements for Arabian Airlines, as well as the airline Standard Operating Procedures, which can be downloaded through the menu on the left.



All Arabian Airlines aircraft are hand painted and selected to be the finest that the flight simulation community has to offer. Our flight dynamics are verified, and our staff takes the time to ensure all fleet operations are conductely safely to ensure maximum efficiency and comfort.



Helpful Downloads and Notes

Arabian Airlines has developed a system called the 'kneeboard,' which is a simulated ACARS system specifically tuned for Arabian's operations.

The kneeboard allows pilots to continually update their flight status by clicking a button, allowing the flight to be tracked live through our website, all from within flight simulator, thus eliminating the necessitation of going through our on-website PiRep system. You can access the kneeboard, after installing it, through your "Key Commands" section of your FS Kneeboard by pressing F10. The kneeboard is only to be used on flights that will be flown in real time. All flight departure and arrival times for all Arabian Airlines flights are in GMT time format.

The kneeboard will be available soon once the testing period for it has ended, and all known bugs have been fixed.

Until our kneeboard comes online, we have developed a special PDF file that our pilots can download, print, and fill out throughout their flight so that they can quickly, and easily, fill out our on-website PiRep form.

Arabian Airlines has a large fleet of mostly Airbus aircraft that it uses on flights to destinations all over the world. To maintain a high level of realism, we have made some decisions about our fleet and which files will be allowed for use in our operations.

All Airbus A340-500 and A340-600 aircraft will utilize the CLS A340-500/600 package until a feasible freeware model is released.
All Boeing 747-428 aircraft will utilize the PMDG 747-400 package until the release of the Project Opensky Boeing 747-400 v4 model.

All other aircraft, minus the MD-11, will come with "merged FDE kits" which will allow pilots to utilize the PSS Airbus series of panels and software.
