Rules & Regulations
Introduction
In order to maintain our virtual airline in a structured, fair, clear, and respectful manner, it is unfortunately necessary to have regulations. We ask all our users to take note of these regulations and follow their content. If everyone adheres to these rules, it will remain a pleasant and professional environment to pursue our hobby at a high level.
‘The registrans’ is referred to as ‘the pilot’ in the regulations.
Article 1 | Acceptance Policy
- 1To become a member, the pilot must be at least 16 years old. Are you younger? No problem, but always ask permission from your parents. We do not check this, as we do not ask for the date of birth of our members.
- 2It is not mandatory to be a member of the online networks IVAO and/or VATSIM. However, we do verify the skill level of the pilot. That means that we require at least 30 hours of online flying experience. If this cannot be demonstrated, it may be necessary to take a practical exam through a ‘Linecheck’.
- 3The pilot has a good basic knowledge of the English language. He/she can communicate clearly, understandably, and politely with fellow users of the flight simulator community.
- 4The pilot has good knowledge of aviation jargon, as well as IFR radio communication procedures. He/she can communicate clearly via microphone or otherwise via text with other users in an online setting.
- 5When the pilot is flying for one of the divisions, he/she has good knowledge of the aircraft he/she decides to fly. ‘Getting to know’ the aircraft cannot be logged. This must be done in advance. We can of course help with this.
- 6The pilot has successfully passed the ‘First Officer Assessment’ exam and achieved a score of at least 70%. The exam may only be retaken once every 14 days after the first attempt.
Article 2 | Retention of Membership
- 1To remain active, the pilot must perform a flight at least once every 45 days.
- 2After 45 days of inactivity, the account status changes to “On Leave”.
- 3After 90 days of inactivity, the pilot will receive a written request to perform a flight within 10 days.
- 4After 100 days of inactivity, the pilot’s account will be suspended. The pilot will no longer be able to log in.
- 5After 1 calendar year of inactivity, the account will be permanently deleted. Flight data will not be saved.
- 6KLM Transavia Virtual has a zero-tolerance policy towards discrimination and/or bullying. Depending on the severity of the offense, the membership can be terminated immediately. Until a decision is made, the account remains suspended.
- 7Discrimination that can be proven can also be reported to the discrimination reporting point of the Dutch police. Data on our servers can be used to support the report.
- 8Suspension or banning from platforms outside of our virtual airline do not necessarily have to be fully adopted. Based on reasoning, it can be decided not to go along with this.
Article 3 | Operations
-
1The pilot can switch between divisions at any time. He/she is not required to conform to a specific airline.
-
2Realism and professionalism are important to us. The pilot must perform realistic flights with integrity.For example: A transatlantic flight is usually not flown with an Embraer or small Boeing 737. We do expect our pilots to make realistic choices when commencing a flight.
-
3KLM Transavia Virtual has three main HUB airports for maintenance: Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, Rotterdam/The Hague Airport and Eindhoven Airport. The pilot must fly to or from a maintenance HUB at least once every 6 flights, unless it is a route from the timetable (such as the Jakarta – Manila – Jakarta shuttle). We do have maintenance contracts in the U.S. aswell for domestic U.S. flights. Flying for Transavia France will allow pilots to fly from Paris Orly Airport as well as other foreign HUBs in France.This allows the pilot to perform a ‘triangle flight’. Any tours or events are exempt from this rule.
-
4Due to the emergence of apps such as ‘Simbrief’ and monthly changing AIRAC cycles, we ask our pilots to take care of correct routes and a flight plan/load sheet themselves.
-
5Just like in real life, the pilot is personally responsible for executing a safe flight. He/she is responsible for checking the route, fuel, and payload.
-
6In case of unrealistic ‘misuse’ of our systems, we may decide to suspend the account pending a conversation. We assume that we all strive for a real-life simulation of the divisions within our VA.
