Pilot Rating and pre-order
Earn your place in line.
When SOLESFLY vehicles go into production, the pre-order waiting list opens to pilots who have already proven they can fly them. Every paid pilot gets an individual rating on each craft, built from every graded session they fly. Meet the bar and your place in line is yours.
How the rating is built
Three things, out of 1000.
Your rating is worked out fresh from your sessions every time you look at it, separately for the golf cart and the water jetski. Nobody types it in, and nobody can buy it.
Skill
Six graded dimensions from your last twenty sessions. Recent form counts most, so the pilot you are today matters more than the one you were a month ago.
Experience
Hours flown on that craft. A natural with an hour in the seat is held back until the hours catch up, because talent is not the same thing as time.
Consistency
Steady beats lucky. Big swings between sessions cost you up to thirty percent, because the real vehicle needs the same pilot every single time.
| Graded in every session | Weight |
|---|---|
| Touchdown | 25% |
| Emergency handling | 20% |
| Hover stability | 15% |
| Transition | 15% |
| Checklist discipline | 15% |
| Navigation | 10% |
Why touchdown and emergencies weigh most
They are the two moments that decide how a real flight ends. A smooth cruise is pleasant. A clean landing and a calm response when something fails are what make a pilot someone we are happy to sell a vehicle to.
Requirements
Qualify on a craft to join its list.
The golf cart and the water jetski are rated and qualified separately. Qualify on both and you can hold a place on both lists.
| Requirement, per craft | To qualify |
|---|---|
| Paid pilot | Any time block |
| Air time on that craft | 10 hours |
| Completed sessions | 12 |
| Pilot Rating | 700 or more |
| Touchdown average | 75 or more |
| Emergency handling average | 70 or more |
| Tier | Rating |
|---|---|
| Cadet | 0 to 399 |
| Pilot | 400 to 699 |
| Qualified | 700+, every requirement met |
| Ace | 850+, every requirement met |
The two safety averages are hard gates. A high rating with weak landings or weak emergency handling stays at Pilot until they come up.
The waiting list
First come, first served, among the qualified.
Your place is yours
Places are held in the order qualified pilots join. Once you hold a place, it never drops, even if your rating moves afterwards.
One list per craft
The golf cart and the water jetski each have their own list. Qualify on both and join both.
Joining takes no payment
The waiting list holds your place in line. It is not a purchase, and joining it does not charge you anything.
Your pilot card
See it all in one place.
Every paid pilot gets a private pilot card: your rating on each craft, every requirement with how far you have to go, your skill breakdown, and your place in line. The link arrives on your receipt and in the app.
Buy a block
Swipe, tap, Apple Pay, Google Pay or in-app. You become a rated pilot the moment it clears.
Fly and get graded
Every lesson, situation and race is graded on the six dimensions and added to your record.
Qualify
Your pilot card shows each requirement filling up, and turns green the moment you are through.
Take your place
One tap on your pilot card puts you on the pre-order waiting list for that craft.
