Compass Airlines - Main Page

Welcome!

Welcome to Compass! We are an Australian & New Zealand based Virtual Airline seeking to replicate the varied operations of a major airline. We cover a wide variety of operations from long haul international flights based out of Australia and New Zealand to the Pacific, South East Asia, the Middle East, Europe Africa and the Americas, right down to short regional hops. We also have a fully developed domestic routes along major trunk routes throughout Australia and New Zealand. Two allied divisions, Compass Express and Compass Logistics provide regional and cargo services.

New East Asian Services to Commence April 2012

Here at Compass we pride ourselves on providing our pilots with the greated range of fliht optins of any VA in the Asia/Oceania region. The revised schedule will see increased services to Taipei, Seoul, Beijing, and Shanghai from both Sydney and Brisbane as well as the introduction of flights to Kaohsiung.

These flights are now undergoing route proving and will be introduced to the main schedule very soon. Several new aircraft will be needed to support these new flights and deliveries are commencing shortly.

VATPAC to Introduce Pilot Ratings Soon!

VATPAC, the local division of VATSIM has been working hard at becoming an approved training organisation to deliver the new VATSIM pilot ratings.

Very soon pilots will be able to enrol in the VATPAC training program to earn the first of the pilot ratings in the scheme, P1. More advanced ratings will be introduced at a later date.

We strongly encourage all pilots to attemp their P1 rating as soon as the system is up and running, it will not be hard and for Compass pilots with enough hours (and that's most of us) there will be an expedited process.

VATSIM

VATSIM matters to us. We are proud to have been a VATSIM affiliate since our inception. As soon as we were eligible we signed on and we've been on board ever since. We encourage our pilots to participate in VATSIM events around the world and wee participate fully in our two home divisions, VATPAC and VATNZ.

And now we are ten VATSIM have honoured us in return. We are now one of the very few "Heritage VAs" who have clocked up 10 years affiliation with VATSIM. There aren't many, and we're proud to be among them.

Just remember, file those flight reports as soon as you fly your flights. We don't want to slip off this list for a silly administrative error.

Operations Manual

Compass is proud to release our long awaited Operations Manual. This document has been a long time coming but it is finally at a stage where it can be made available to the Compass community. It covers all the basics that our crews require to conduct their day to day operations. The breadth of knowledge it covers is remarkable from the very basics all the way up to such things as preferred alternates during prolonged over ocean flights, fuel reserve policy, stable approaches, QFE operations in Russian and Chinese airspace, and much much more. All in all, 64 pages of quality material that no Compass pilot can afford to do without. You can find the manual on our Manuals Page.
