Airlines are the backbone of the Rotate Community for pilots. We want to facilitate them with a support system which will be deeply integrated into the Rotate Network’s structure. For the first time all major aspects of real-world airlines will be present and integrated into a flight-sim network. The Airline Dashboard gives Airline managers a detailed overview of all flights and helps them communicate to active airline pilots via the network-wide CPDLC integration. Similar to the Live Map you can track every plane in your airline, and get advanced statistics and time calculations, so you always stay up-to-date. We will give you a multitude of tools to choose from and you can decide which ones you want to use. Almost all features such as the participation in the global economy, realistic aircraft turn-arounds and flight plan management are optional. If you want, you can simply get your unique callsign and fly. Getting a detailed overview of all your airline’s flights is essential if you want to compete in a global economy and rank yourself against other airlines. The live map gets regular updates from the system and checks if the flight is still in the timeframe or deviating from its planned course. That way you will know immediately when problems such as delays occur. Flight plans are essential for a smooth operation. Airline managers can easily file and validate one-time or recurring flight plans in the airline dashboard. Other pilots from your airline will then be able to use them for their flights. You can manage your planes by making them unique. Just as in real life you would have to fly from your last location, pilots will have to fly from the last known location of a plane. Unique aircraft will add yet another layer of realism to the overall management of your airline. This is just a first look into our extensive airline system, over the coming weeks we will release more information about the airline economy and give you a chance to register your airline in the Rotate Network.

As you manage your airline, you might feel the need to contact someone inside the cockpit. Pilots can pick up and respond to messages you send from the Airline Dashboard right in their Pilot Client. It's a convenient and realistic form of communication. CPDLC can be helpful to airline managers in many ways, such as when coordinating the next flight plan, managing possible in-flight diversions to other airports or re-routes because of weather changes. Indeed, if your airline is part of the in-game economy, you can use CPDLC to improve your pilots’ logistics, thus improving the aviation statistics of your airline, and by doing so improve your airline’s market value. As with most of our tools, CPDLC is just here to help you out in case you want to use it. It's not meant to get rid of other tools such as voice communications via airline owned frequencies, but it should make your life easier and give you more possibilities should you need them.
