6.1. - Before Connecting.
6.1.1 - Pilots must at least be able to take off with an aircraft and land it again on an airport.
6.1.2 - You also must be able to comply with simple ATC instructions like "turn left heading 220" or "descent and maintain FL 110" to participate in the simulation.
6.1.3 - Pilots must have installed the Squawkbox or IvAp software and be familiar with the basic use of it.
6.1.4 - Position your aircraft on the airport in a position that it is not on a Runway nor on a Taxiway. This prevents that you are causing a conflict when connecting to the network.
6.2. - Connecting.
6.2.1 - Do not connect unless you intend to make a complete flight.
6.3. - On-line.
6.3.1 - It is not allowed to squawk standby except while on the the ground prior to initial contact with ATC.
6.3.2 - Before every flight a flightplan must be filed through IvAp/Squawkbox, and write your pilot rating in the Remark field.
6.3.3 - If you are new or inexperienced indicate this in your flightplan. ATC will help you..
6.3.4 - If there is no ATC available tune your Comm-radio to the "Unicom"-frequency (122.80).
6.3.5 - Check for ATC on a regular basis and contact the appropriate ATC as soon as one is available or if you are requested to do so.
6.3.6 - In exceptional
cases FRA's (Facility Rating Assignments) can be in effect. FRA's are a kind
of restrictions which can be in effect for instance during a very busy fly-in.
An example of a FRA could be : "Pilots with Rating of FFO (First Flight
Officer) or lower are not allowed to land at EHAM airport from 18.00 - 20.00
Zulu - the alternative Airport is EHRD".
You will find this FRA in the ATIS of the ATC in the form "FRA - no FFO
at EHAM 18.00 - 20.00 Z (alt. EHRD)"
Active FRA's can also be checked here
6.3.7 - Never use the emergency- (or guard-) frequency (121.50) except in an emergency situation.
6.3.8 - Under normal situations Pilots must follow and readback ATC instructions.
6.4. - Special Operations..
6.4.1 - Under special operations we catagorise all aviation other then civil aviation. Examples are coastgard, resque- and military aviation. This kind af aviation is part of the real world and therefore part of the simulation. Not allowed on IVAO are simulations of terrorism and acts of war. Although terrorism and war excist in the real world we do not allow the simulation of any kind of aggression or armed violance on our network. For further information on this issue see the rules and regulations for Special Operations.
