Introduction

This Handbook will have all the rules & guidelines you as a pilot MUST follow. It is your responsibility to keep up-to-date on this handbook’s updates/changes. Below will be sections that go in detail about what you need to do and such.

Rules & Guidelines

1. Air Traffic Control(ATC) - Must be listened to at ALL times

2. All Pilots are treated equal, no matter their experience

3. Gamemaster’s decide if there is flying or not, you may ask but don’t repeatedly ask.

4. Callsigns are REQUIRED prior to takeoff, the ATC has to know who is in the air at all times(During training you will receive a callsign)

5. SERIOUS FLYING AT ALL TIMES(Unless in Downtime)

Air Traffic Control(ATC)

1. You MUST listen to them at ALL times

   1. If you need to take off and don’t get an answer you may take off after a minute of silence, same with landing

2. ATC requires you to have a callsign in order to fly, this is assigned during your pilot certification and is battalion specific

   1. Set your callsign with the following command

      1. “/callsign Charlie 1-2”

   2. You can also see your current callsign

      1. “/currentcallsign”

3. To use ATC you type the following

   1. “/atc MESSAGE”
4. While in the air its good practice to be connected to the ATC Comms, although not required but the Comms system allows you to be connected to 3 channels, you can switch between Comms with your Key-bind(Default is “ALT+H”

Takeoff & Landing Procedures

1. Before you take off/land you must contact ATC for permission, we don’t want to cause a crash on the ship

2. If you need repairs you must contact ATC with the hangar you want to land in to repair or rearm, this doesn’t require a response from ATC as the hangars are ONLY for repairing and rearming.

Examples

• Takeoff

• “/atc Requesting permission for takeoff via Main Hangar(MH)”

• Landing

• “/atc Requesting permission to land via Main Hangar(MH)”

• Repair

• “/atc Requesting permission to land via Hangar 2(H2) for repairs”
