To change rank, join the verified Pilot Training Club group, launch the official Aircraft Development / Rank Picker experience, and use the rank-change button described in the lower-right area of the screen. Follow the transition into the official Rank Picker place, select an eligible role once, then verify the result on the group page.
Roblox officially confirms the root place, the separate Rank Picker place, and the current group roles. The membership requirement, selectable range, success-removal behavior, and repeat-change limits come from dedicated community documentation and must be checked against the live UI.
Prepare your account safely
Open the Pilot Training Club group and confirm Group ID 2794513 with the verified badge. If you are not a member, use Roblox’s normal Join Group action. Do not join through a bot, external verification page, browser extension, or script.
Wait until membership is visible on the official group page. Community documentation says Rank Picker is limited to group members. If you enter too quickly after joining, the place may not yet see the updated membership state.
Choose a target role before entering. Review the Ranks List and distinguish ordinary community-reported selector roles from closed, staff, and developer roles. Do not expect Rank Picker to grant a role merely because it exists in the group roster.
Open the official Rank Picker route
Launch Aircraft Development / Rank Picker, Place 447213146. Let the interface load fully. The creator description points to a change-rank button at the lower right. On a narrow mobile display, check the screen edge after Roblox controls have settled.
Use that button instead of an old direct link. Roblox’s public places data confirms that the current Universe contains a separate place named Rank Picker, Place 109289245077164, described as a place for choosing a group rank. The in-experience button is the safest way to follow the creator’s current transition.
If the button is missing, rejoin once and check the current description for a notice. Do not use teleport scripts or copy a Place ID into an untrusted launcher.
Select a role
Read every visible role name and requirement before tapping. Community documentation lists Airline Pilot, Cargo Pilot, Stunt Pilot, Fighter Pilot, Rescue Squadron Pilot, Ground Crew, Trainer, and Elite Pilot as the traditional choices. The current official group names use plural forms for several roles, and the live selector may change.
Tap or click one intended role once. Wait for the full feedback message. Elite Pilots may show an eligibility condition; community documentation reports at least 3,000 minutes flown, but neither the public role API nor the place description confirms how those minutes are calculated.
Do not select Advanced Pilots (Closed), staff roles, creator roles, or a suspiciously similar spelling unless the official current UI explicitly presents a legitimate player choice. The group roster contains more roles than an ordinary selector should expose.
Confirm the result
Community instructions say a successful choice displays a message and removes the player from the place. Record the message instead of interpreting any disconnection as success. A connection error, server shutdown, or manual leave can look similar.
Open the official Pilot Training Club group page and check your displayed role. If it matches the intended selection, the group-side change succeeded. Rejoin PTFS afterward if you want to see whether the title is reflected there.
If the group page still shows the old role, wait briefly for Roblox to update. Refresh the group page, then rejoin through the official root place if needed. Avoid clicking several different roles in quick succession because it becomes difficult to identify which request was accepted.
Rank-change decision table
Choose the right role
Select for roleplay identity rather than an unverified gameplay advantage. Community documentation says these roles do not grant special abilities or perks. Airline, Cargo, Stunt, Fighter, Rescue, Ground Crew, and Trainer are descriptive group identities; Elite has a reported time condition.
If you are uncertain, do not click until you understand whether you can return to the default. The community page says new members start as Trainee Pilots and cannot select Trainee again after changing. That limitation has not been confirmed by the public official APIs, so read the current UI for a warning.
Troubleshooting
If the lower-right button is off-screen, allow the interface to load, return device scaling to normal, and try a fresh official server. If Rank Picker denies entry, verify membership on the group page. If a particular role is absent, assume it is not currently self-selectable until the interface or creator says otherwise.
If Elite rejects your account, preserve the exact requirement message. Do not buy an external service or share account credentials to add flight time. Continue with the Elite Pilot guide for the evidence boundary.
If you selected the wrong role, check the current Rank Picker menu before attempting another change. Repeat-change rules are not documented in the public place description. Rapid retries may not restore Trainee or bypass a role condition.
How to change rank FAQ
Where is the rank button?
The creator’s live description points to the lower-right area of the root experience screen.
Do I need to be in the group?
Community documentation says yes. Join and verify the official Pilot Training Club group before entering Rank Picker.
Why was I removed after selecting?
The dedicated community guide describes removal after a success message as expected. Verify the group role because removal by itself is not proof.
Can I choose any role in the official roster?
No. The roster includes closed, staff, developer, and creator roles. Only use the ordinary choices actually shown by the current selector.
Can I change back to Trainee Pilots?
Community documentation says no, but the rule needs current in-game confirmation. Read any warning before committing to another role.
Does rank selection unlock an aircraft?
No reliable source connects these role choices to an aircraft unlock. Confirm any separate PTFS permission in PTFS itself.
