I’m trying to confirm how the Weekly Cycle – First Movement PAX bonus actually works.
From what I’ve observed, it seems this bonus is awarded to each pilot individually the first time they take off or land at a given airport during the current weekly cycle — not just to the first pilot who flies there that week.
For example, I’ve received the “first movement” bonus multiple times at airports that already showed other pilots had landed earlier in the week (the “Available Takeoff / Landing” counters clearly indicated activity). Despite that, I still earned the bonus when I arrived — which makes me think it’s a per-pilot bonus rather than a global one-time weekly reward per airport.
Can anyone from the team or community confirm whether that’s indeed how it’s meant to work in the current (2025) system?
Hi Kyndra,
the Weekly Cycle – First Movement is an exclusive reward granted to active airports, not to individual pilots.
However, if the airport owner has set up a profit split, the Pilot License involved will also receive a percentage of the bonus.
The bonus is not awarded per pilot, but rather per Pilot License.
For example:
If you use Pilot License A and land at KJFK, and the airport has an active split, you’ll receive the Weekly Cycle – First Movement PAX bonus.
If you land there again with the same License A, you won’t get it again.
However, if you fly with Pilot License B and visit KJFK for the first time with that license, you’ll earn the bonus again for that same airport.
It doesn’t mean that if you land first at a certain airport, other pilots won’t get the bonus — they’ll also receive it if it’s their first visit to that airport with that specific Pilot License.
