CONNECTED SIMULATED CARGO
MINA: cargo with continuity
MINA is UPSVO’s persistent simulated cargo network. It records shipments separately from a flight booking, so a consignment can retain its identity and history across eligible legs.
What MINA records
Shipments have an origin, destination, commodity description and weight. Eligible bookings can reserve a shipment for a specific leg. A reservation is not a delivery: the matching flight evidence and subsequent reconciliation determine the next state.
One payload, not two
The MINA manifest is a subset of the cargo booked with vAMSYS. Pilots must not add its kilograms to the provider’s cargo total. Aircraft limits, packaging compatibility and the matching planning profile still apply.
For example, a simulated 2,000 kg consignment within a 20,000 kg booking leaves the total at 20,000 kg. This is an explanatory example, not an actual shipment. Read the virtual cargo guide for the distinction between allocation, reservation and delivery.
Read the status, not just the map
Available, reserved and delivered describe different stages. Empty activity is not a failure; unavailable or stale data must be identified as such. The public Network page shows source timestamps. Private manifests and pilot records require authorized Crew access.
Before your flight
Use Flight Center to check the route, aircraft and manifest. Resolve pending cargo finalization before planning. Do not interpret a simulated reservation as independently measured loading in the simulator. Flight submission alone is not proof of cargo delivery.
