:receipt: RULES & REMINDERS

:warning: 1. Spawn On Time, or Prepare for Gate 404

Be at your gate at least 30 minutes before pushback. If you spawn late, don’t be surprised if you’re parked on a fuel truck or shoved into the cargo bay. Timing is everything, even in the virtual skies.

:airplane_departure: 2. Pushback Chaos? Nope. We Roll Like a Parade

Don’t push back without the flight lead’s signal. This isn’t a Formula 1 grid start — we want screenshots, not pile-ups.

:vertical_traffic_light: 3. Taxi Etiquette: No Tailgating, This Ain’t a Go-Kart Track

Maintain 50m (or 1.5 aircraft length) between planes on the ground. If you can see the Captain’s iPad in the cockpit ahead of you, you’re too close.

:rocket: 4. Takeoff Spacing: Avoid Becoming a Mid-Air Sandwich

5–7 nautical miles between departures. No one wants to be the middle layer in a virtual A330 club sandwich at 15,000 feet.

:bullseye: 5. Maintain Cruising Altitude, Not Cruising Altitude(s)

We’re not staircasing the sky like Minecraft blocks. Pick an altitude and stick to it!

:brain: 6. Use UNICOM Like You Passed English

If ATC isn’t online, please use proper Unicom calls. “Remaining in the pattern” at FL380 is not a vibe. You’re not doing circuits over the Arabian Sea.

:camera: 7. Screenshot Stop & Pose? You Bet. But No Mid-Flight Selfies at 90° Bank

We love pictures, but not barrel rolls. Fly straight and level before you go full influencer mode.

:airplane_arrival: 8. Landing: Grease It, Don’t Splat It

Aim for a buttery touchdown. If your plane bounces higher than your GPA, we’re submitting that replay to the Comedy Channel, not the VA archive.

:p_button: 9. Parking: Terminal, Not Terminal Velocity

Taxi slow and park like you’ve done this before. If you noseplant into another A330, you’ll be awarded a “Certified Ground Missile” badge.

:prohibited: 10. Don’t Be That Pilot

No aerobatics. No swearing. No ghosting-worthy nonsense. This is the Expert Server, not a Roblox server. Keep it classy, Captain.

:military_medal: Bonus Rule: Have Fun, But Make It Look Like You Know What You’re Doing

We’re here to fly professionally
 and have a blast doing it. So bring your A-game, some A-level banter, and maybe a snack.

I reserve a special view for the a330 series. All of my A330 flights have had greased landings at the end. (But I’ve only done like 2 A330 flights)
