SOCIAL MEDIA


While we have a Forum packed of information, nowadays all our communications run through the social media channels. As an American Virtual Pilot it is extremely important that you register/follow our media servers as every real-time communication goes through there first. It is undoubtedly the best way to stay current about the many activities we always have going on. And if you have to pick only one, that should definitely be DISCORD. It is always extremely active (and fun) and the fastest way to stay up to date. You will receive the invitation to join as soon as the admission process is completed.

RANK STRUCTURE


American Virtual is a rank based organization. The table below illustrates the type of rankings currently enforced as well as the hourly requirements and equipment availability attached to each one. It is important to have a clear up front picture of what you will be able to fly immediately. It's also helpful to know we have many different ways to give extra hours through various events.



HUB PLACEMENT


American Virtual closely mimics the real world operations of its counterpart. Currently we operate from ten (10) HUBS within the United States. After successfully passing the Crew assessment test, you will have the opportunity to select a desired hub on the registration form. However, due to crew management and operational support, not all ten Hubs may be available at all times. If you happen to not be assigned to your Hub of choice, you will still be able to request a Hub transfer after 30 days.


ONLINE NETWORK FLYING


Our Virtual Airline does not require pilots to fly on VATSIM, IVAO, PILOTEDGE and similar organizations. However, we strongly encourage online flying to complete the experience and foster the knowledge growth. All American Virtual Pilots opting to fly on VATSIM are required to comply with VATSIM’s User Agreement and VATSIM’s Code of Conduct and to represent our company in a flawless, professional manner when flying on any network.
