Becoming a Member

Rules & Regulations

Last update: October 27, 2025

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

  • 1
    To 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.
  • 2
    It 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’.
  • 3
    The 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.
  • 4
    The 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.
  • 5
    When 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.
  • 6
    The 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

  • 1
    To remain active, the pilot must perform a flight at least once every 28 days.
  • 2
    After 28 days of inactivity, the account automatically gets suspended by VAMSYS. You will have recieved several warnings per e-mail prior to that moment.
  • 3
    Your account may be reinstated upon request by the CEO or ACEO (or in absence an other member of staff).
  • 4
    When a pilot becomes inactive multiple times, the staff may decide to permanently remove the account from our server.
  • 5
    Should there be a VAMSYS broad issue concerning your membership (banned from the platform), we can not reinstate nor debate on your behalf regarding this matter. This is out of our hands.
  • 6
    KLM 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.
  • 7
    Discrimination 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. This also goes for the Discord community server.
  • 8
    Suspension 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

    • 1
      The pilot can switch between divisions at any time. He/she is not required to conform to a specific airline.
    • 2
      Realism 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.
      1. a Using time acceleration is not allowed! Flights logged using time acceleration will be subject to review and rejection.
        b Flying intercontinental flighs with smaller aircrafts such as Embraers, Boeing 737’s or the smaller Airbusses are not allowed, unless specified specifically (e.g. in an event).
        c Flying european flighs with bigger aircrafts such as Boeing 787’s and 777’s or Airbus A330’s (or sizes of simillar proportions) are not allowed, unless specified specifically (e.g. in an event). The exemption is made for KLM Cargo flights using a Boeing 747 Freighter. They might perform shorter legs.
    • 3
      KLM 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.
    • 4
      Due 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.
    • 5
      Just 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.
    • 6
      In 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.

Article 4 | KLM Transavia Virtual as ‘a brand’

  • 1
    It is not allowed for anyone to publish or distribute KLM Transavia Virtual’s data, logos, or other intellectual property without the CEO’s permission. As this virtual airline is based on a real airline. It’s logo’s are not owned by this organisation. Therefor publicating any items containing intellectual property of either KLM or Transavia is always at own risk/responsability.
  • 2
    Systems may be shown in live-stream flights, but we request that you include a name credit in your video description.
  • 3
    This virtual organization is for the purpose of a flight simulator. Therefore, we do not own any airline-related intellectual property. We act with integrity when it comes to simulating a truthful situation.

KLM Flight Academy

Last update: October 14, 2025
The KLM Flight Academy (also known as the KLS) is based of the real life KLM training program. The KLM Flight Academy was established in 1963 as a response to the growing need for qualified pilots in the aviation industry. KLM recognized the importance of training skilled aviators to ensure the safety and efficiency of its operations. Initially, the academy focused on training pilots exclusively for KLM, providing them with a structured curriculum that combined theoretical knowledge and practical flight experience.

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the academy expanded its offerings to include a broader range of training programs. This included courses for co-pilots, flight instructors, and other aviation professionals. The KLM Flight Academy developed a reputation for high-quality training standards and a strong emphasis on safety and operational excellence, aligning with KLM’s commitment to maintaining its position as a leading airline.

In the 2000s, the academy embraced new technologies and methodologies in pilot training. The introduction of advanced flight simulators (the famous CAE training facility near Schiphol) and e-learning platforms enhanced the training experience, allowing pilots to practice complex scenarios in a controlled environment. They also began to collaborate with various international aviation organizations and educational institutions, broadening its reach and influence in the global aviation community. They also started to train and educate Transavia pilots.

Today, the KLM Flight Academy continues to be a prominent institution for pilot training in Europe. It offers various programs, including integrated and modular training paths, catering to aspiring pilots from different backgrounds. The academy is known for its rigorous selection process, high standards of instruction, and a strong focus on preparing pilots for the challenges of modern aviation.

In recent years, the KLM Flight Academy has also started to incorporate sustainability into its curriculum, reflecting KLM’s broader commitment to reducing its environmental impact and promoting sustainable aviation practices.

Introduction

Last update: September 30, 2025
VAMSYS is currently the largest provider of flight logging services for virtual airlines. We use this system because it offers a stable and growing platform. They are continually expanding their services and options, which helps us grow and develop at the same time. In this section of the knowledge base, we provide a brief explanation of some of the main frontend functionalities. However, VAMSYS has also published their own manuals, which are very extensive. Therefore, we refer you to their page for more detailed explanations regarding the system.
