{{Quote|The Pilots' Federation has issued you with the Pilots' Federation District Permit. This permit grants access to Pilots' Federation Space, consisting of training systems to ensure you will be among Commanders of a similar experience level.<br/>While you are picking up the basics, you will be granted a significant discount on any insurance rebuy payments needed in the event of ship loss. This will last until you attain an increase in any Pilots' Federation rank.<br/>In time your training opportunities here will be completed, and you will feel confident enough to explore the galaxy. The Pilots' Federation District Permit will then be removed along with access to these systems once you have docked at a starport outside of this zone.<br/>Good luck and fly safe, Commander!|"Pilots' Federation District Permit Issued" message}}
The '''Pilots' Federation District''' is a subset of [[star system]]s within the [[Core Systems]] governed by the [[Pilots Federation]] and restricted to newly-licensed [[pilot]]s who have no ranks in [[Combat]], [[Trader|Trade]], or [[Explorer|Exploration]]. [[Station]]s in these systems offer simple, low-paying missions that can be completed even in a basic [[Sidewinder]], and a rudimentary [[Outfitting]] selection is available.

Once a novice pilot gains their first rank in Combat, Trade, or Exploration, they are offered a graduation mission that guides them to the systems outside the Pilots' Federation District, and the [[Permits|permit]] required to access the district is then permanently revoked.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/april-update-coming-23-april-2019.508239/ Frontier Forums: April Update - Coming 23 April 2019]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YG1KeIgm5zM YouTube: April Update - Content Reveal]</ref> 

==History==
The Pilots' Federation District was officially unveiled on April 20, 3305:

{{Quote|{{clr}}The Pilots’ Federation has revealed plans to establish a restricted area of space for newly licensed Commanders.

In a statement, spokesperson Gabriel Sanchos gave the following details:

“Following discussions with the three superpowers, representatives have acknowledged that independent pilots are a mainstay of the galactic community. As such, a Pilots’ Federation District will be created for new Commanders, offering combat exercises and tailored assignments within several designated systems."

“The intention is to offer pilots an opportunity to complete contract assignments without exposing them to opportunistic criminals. Access to the district will depend on the possession of a permit granted to new Commanders alongside their Pilots’ Federation license. This permit will be revoked once a certain level of experience has been acquired.”

Representatives of the Alliance, Empire and Federation each confirmed their approval. Their statements underscored the positive contributions made by licensed Commanders with regards to the galactic economy, exploration initiatives and the Thargoid threat.|[[GalNet]]<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5cb8a071997fe83ff3792dfe GalNet: Pilots' Federation Establishes Regulated Zone]</ref>}}

A cluster of ten uninhabited systems within the [[Core Systems]] was allocated to the Pilots' Federation District and renamed by [[Universal Cartographics]]. Five systems were colonized and host a total population of 1,001,000, one was set aside for a [[Detention Centre]], and four were left empty. The district was permit-locked and began operations on 23 April 3305.

On 29 September 3311 (2025) the starter zone was expanded with the following systems:<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/elite-dangerous-type-11-prospector-release-date-update.641607/ Elite Dangerous: Type-11 Prospector | Release Date Update] - Frontier Forums - 22 September 2025</ref>
