AIRSKY operates primarily on the VATSIM network.

All pilots must comply with the official rules of the VATSIM network, including but not limited to:

• VATSIM Code of Conduct

• VATSIM Code of Regulations

• ATC instructions and procedures

Failure to comply with VATSIM rules may result in disciplinary action within AIRSKY.

3. Pilot Conduct

AIRSKY pilots represent the airline whenever flying using the AIRSKY callsign.

Pilots are expected to demonstrate:

• Proper behavior on VATSIM and community platforms

Any form of harassment, discrimination, or disruptive behavior will not be tolerated.

4. Callsign and Flight Numbers

When flying on VATSIM under AIRSKY, pilots must use the official airline callsign:

AIRSKY

Example flight numbers:

Pilots must ensure their VATSIM callsign matches the booked flight number whenever possible.

5. Flight Tracking

All AIRSKY flights must be logged using an approved tracking system:

Pegasus ACARS (vAMSYS)

Requirements:

• Flights must be tracked from departure to arrival

Manual PIREPs should only be used when ACARS is unavailable.

Pilots are encouraged to follow:

• Real-world routes where possible

• Realistic aircraft performance

• Proper flight planning procedures

• Standard ATC phraseology

The use of excessive simulation shortcuts that significantly reduce realism is discouraged.

7. Fleet and Aircraft Usage

Pilots must use aircraft that are part of the AIRSKY fleet available in vAMSYS.

Aircraft substitutions should only be made when they remain realistic for the route.

8. Pilot Activity

To remain active within AIRSKY, pilots must complete at least one flight every 30 days.

Pilots who become inactive for extended periods may be automatically removed from the airline roster.

Pilots may request a temporary leave of absence if necessary.

9. Events and Community Participation

Pilots are encouraged to participate in official events and airline operations organized by AIRSKY staff.

Event procedures may vary depending on ATC requirements and event structure.
