    Hello,
    I am somewhat ignorant as to what exactly a virtual airline is. Embarassed I have heard of one but I don't know whether you have to pay or how it works or anything. Please help me.

    I don't fly with any Virtual Airlines but I imagine that proper takeoffs and landings would be important, wouldn't want any virtual crash victims. Smile

    The level of expertise required varies between VAs. The ones that require online flying with vatsim, etc. generally need more experienced pilots than those who don't.

    The best way to determine what an individual VA requires is to view their web site, and ask questions of their contact address.

    there are some VA that require a test but most are easy....what i mean by test is they ask how much you know and if you can carry out a proper flight

    Most VA's have dedicated "Training Officers" to get you through all the procedures of online flying and to answer any questions you have. Look through the list of VA's in the "Sticky" List at the head of this forum, go through and check their websites and e-mail them and ask questions. You will have a much better flying experience if you do.

    if you want a serious va, try delta virtual. you have to score a 70% on an enterance exam, so it is all people who know how to fly.
