Become a Pilot at euroSKIES

Fly freely, realistically – with the support of a strong and friendly community.

Whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned simmer – euroSKIES offers a virtual home with realistic flight schedules, exciting tours, and a relaxed, pilot-friendly environment.

Why euroSKIES?

euroSKIES is more than just a place to log flights – it’s your personal virtual airline experience.

We combine the best of both worlds: freedom to fly when you just want to take off, and realistic structure when you’re ready to dive deeper into simulation.

Our flight schedule is designed with real-world feasibility in mind – not just endless destinations. Unlike traditional VAs, we focus on depth, consistency, and quality – and you’ll notice that in every detail.

Our tours and events, like the 150+ leg journey from Frankfurt to Queenstown, bring exciting challenges and stunning destinations.
Plan your flight via SimBrief – and all details are transferred directly into the ACARS.
That’s realism made easy.

At the core is our community: small, close-knit, and driven by shared passion. With regular surveys and transparent communication, you actively shape the airline.

Want more structure? Voluntary qualifications, an OCC course, and realistic documentation await – inspired by real-world operations.
