Understanding Flight Phases

The inFlight Addon intelligently tracks your flight's progress and automatically transitions through various flight phases to ensure relevant announcements, interactions, and features are activated at

Here's a general overview of the flight phases that inFlight monitors:

  • Pre-Flight / Parked at Gate or Parking: This phase begins when you start your flight at a gate or parking position. During this time, the addon will handle initial greetings, boarding announcements, and preparations for departure.

  • Pushback: If applicable, inFlight will detect when your aircraft is pushing back from the gate, coordinating with ground crew interactions.

  • Starting Engines: The addon recognizes when engines are being started, triggering appropriate crew callouts.

  • Taxiing: As you taxi towards the runway, inFlight identifies this phase, enabling taxi announcements and relevant crew interactions.

  • On Runway / Take-Off: When your aircraft is positioned on the runway and begins its take-off roll, the addon detects this, triggering take-off announcements and safety briefings.

  • Climb: After take-off, inFlight monitors your ascent through various altitudes (e.g., 400 feet, 3000 feet, 5000 feet, 10000 feet, 18000 feet), adjusting announcements accordingly.

  • Cruise: Once your aircraft reaches its cruising altitude, the addon enters the cruise phase, where cruise-specific announcements and interactions occur.

  • Descent: As you begin your descent towards the destination, inFlight recognizes the various descent stages (e.g., below 18000 feet, 10000 feet, 5000 feet).

  • Pre-Landing: This phase prepares for landing, including pre-landing announcements and gear deployment detection.

  • Landing: The addon detects when your aircraft is landing, triggering landing announcements.

  • After Landing / Taxiing to Gate: After touching down, inFlight monitors your taxi to the gate or parking, providing relevant announcements.

  • Arrived at Gate / Shut Down: The final phase signifies your arrival at the gate or parking, where arrival announcements and shutdown procedures are recognized.

The inFlight Addon seamlessly transitions between these phases based on real-time flight data from your simulator, ensuring a dynamic and immersive experience.
