Greetings all, As many of you know VATSIM is a huge network filled with lots of great controllers and Pilots who love the hobby of Flight Sim.

Sorry if this has been asked previously. Is there a Virtual British Airways that uses phpVMS? I search google and I can really only find 3 virtual British Airways. 1 uses simmiles which I'm not sure about, the other 2 do not use phpvms AND are full. 1 of them requires a credit card to even apply, when they are accepting applications. The other is accepting applications but has 180+ applications in for 21 openings. Are there any others out there that want pilots? Don't require a credit card, and you have a realistic shot at flying for? Thanks.

Hi everyone, I hope I have posted this in the right place. I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice about call signs and aircraft registrations. My friend and I are currently in the process of setting up a virtual airline for which we have come up with a name and are currently in the process of building a website. However there was one small detail we have missed which is the call signs and also the aircraft reg to be displayed on the aircraft. So what I am asking is, What is the general accepted format for both call signs and aircraft registrations? Thanks in advance for your help.

The Sun has risen in the north, and the warm weather is melting the ice and snow in Northern Canada. This warm weather has also melted the ice roads leading to the mines of Northern Canada. This means no more trucks and until next November, so until then, everything has to come and go by air. This month we are packing up the Canadian Xpress® Boeing 737-200F which is available to all pilots regardless of rank, but only for this challenge and heading north out of Edmonton (CYEG) for the gold mine at Lupin (CYWO). Once fully unloaded, you’ll jump over to Yellowknife (CYZF). There are no fuel facilities at Lupin, so you will need to plan your fuel wisely. You need to fly…

This month’s challenge is an easy passenger run this month. No VFR cross-country flying, picking up equipment in fog and snow storms, just an 80% passenger load from Toronto (CYYZ) to Halifax (CYHZ). But... For the February Challenge you can only fly an aircraft that is in your rank. What's this mean? If you are Captain rated, you can only use an aircraft from the Captain level, nothing higher and nothing lower. Same goes for all the ranks, only the aircraft listed in your rank, based on the Canadian Xpress® website, ranking system. This levels the playing field for those who have been around for years and can land a small aircraft at -100 any day of the week,…

This month’s challenge is to forget the FMC, forget looking out the window (other than to enjoy the scenery) and close the GPS and navigate via your aircraft’s instruments by dialing up a VOR and set course towards it & track NDBs. Your welcome to hand fly or use the autopilot to track the radios, but the challenge here is to manually set the radios. Don’t let the GPS or flight planning software run the show. A tutorial on how to navigate VORs is available by clicking the Navigating VORs link via the Training menu on our web site. Starting at Daytona Beach (KDAB), you will navigate down the east coast of Florida making your way to in to the Key’s and landing…

Just a few weeks ago the 34th America’s Cup conclude in San Francisco. Oracle Team USA (skippered by a New Zealander) successfully defended all challengers to keep the cup on US soil for 4 more years. However, their challenger Team New Zealand, a team with less than a third of the operating budget of Team USA, took the US team to task pushing the series to its maximum of 17 races. This month, your job is to fly the members of Team New Zealand home in style. From San Francisco (KSFO), you will load the 53 members of Team New Zealand on board the Canadian Xpress® Concorde which are available to all pilots regardless of rank, but only for the challenge for the return tri…
