Chapter 1 Β· Understand the competition

What exactly are you joining?

Aeroesport GT begins with remote qualification. You fly in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 using the official competition recorder. Your flight data is submitted for assessment and judging. Qualified pilots can then move forward to later competition stages and the finale.

Minimum age 8+
🏠

Qualification starts remotely

You can complete the qualification stage from your own location using a compatible computer and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.

πŸ“‘

Your flight becomes data

The official recorder captures your flight telemetry and submits the completed attempt so it can be assessed and reviewed.

πŸ†

Qualification is not the finale

Qualification determines who advances. Later competition stages and the finale are separate stages for pilots who qualify.

You compete within an age division:

Junior Division Ages 8–12
Teenagers Division Ages 13–17
Advanced Division Ages 18+
CHAPTER 2 Β· Understand the flying objective

What are you trying to achieve when you fly?

Now that you know what Aeroesport GT is, understand what an official qualification flight is actually testing. You do not need to memorize the full rulebook yet. Start with the four ideas below.

Read before registration
🧭

Follow the assigned flight

Use the assigned aircraft, route, simulator settings, and competition profile. The objective is not simply to reach the destination.

🎯

Fly accurately and smoothly

Speed, altitude, bank, turns, approach, landing, configuration, and overall aircraft control all matter.

πŸ“‹

Stay within the competition rules

No AI or autopilot, no route shortcuts, no unauthorized configuration changes, and no abnormal repositioning.

The simple objective: complete the assigned flight accurately, smoothly, and safely.

Your official flight data is recorded and assessed against the competition profile. Larger or sustained deviations, overspeed, stalls, excessive bank, improper configuration, loss of control, runway excursions, and other rule violations can reduce the result or trigger penalties.

CHAPTER 3 Β· Know what you need

Before you register, understand the setup

You do not need to memorize everything yet. You only need to know what qualification uses and where each part comes from.

Official Qualification Platform

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

Official qualification attempts are flown in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. Follow the assigned aircraft, competition route, simulator settings, and instructions provided for your entry.

MSFS 2020 Required

Your Lifted account

Use the same Lifted account for competition registration, recorder sign-in, and your flight results. Do not create separate accounts for each step.

πŸ•ΉοΈ

Your controls

Qualification can be flown with keyboard and mouse, gamepad, or a full flight-simulator controller. Handling can feel different between control setups.

🌐

Your internet connection

Keep the recorder open and your internet connected until the completed flight has finished processing and submission is confirmed.

Controller note: competition scoring is calibrated around the organizer's standard full flight-simulator control setup. You may qualify with another permitted controller, but the way the aircraft feels and responds can be different.
