# IVAO, PilotEdge & VATSIM

---

While we do **not** require you to fly online, it’s strongly encouraged. To assist you in doing so, we’ve partnered with *PilotEdge* and *VATSIM*.

<p class="callout warning">You can fly on the IVAO network, however Walker Air Transport is not partnered with this company nor will we be due to their unnecessary requirements.</p>

Whenever flying online, enter the following information in the remarks section of your pre-file.

**CALLSIGN = Either your WALKER Pilot ID or WALKER Flight Number**

### **How to Use Your Pilot ID as Your Callsign**

Head to:

**Pilot Settings → My Information → Online ATC Networks**

At the bottom of the page, you’ll see **Online ATC Callsigns**.  
Read the description, check the box, and save.

### **What Happens When This Is Enabled?**

- Your callsign will **be locked**
- No one else will be able to receive a WAT flight number that matches your Pilot ID
- You will see a *random* flight number assigned internally
- **Your actual callsign online will remain your Pilot ID**, just like before
- Pre-file, ACARS, and all related functionality will continue to work exactly as you’re used to

And a final note…

When using any of these online networks *and* the WAT Callsign, you’re considered a Company Ambassador. As such, *at all times*, you're expected to:

- be professional;
- be courteous and respectful of others;
- exercise good judgment; and,
- engage in behavior that could **not** be interpreted as being argumentative or disruptive.

Additionally, in order to maintain a sense of professionalism, general chat with other Company Pilots while flying online should only be conducted on our *Discord*, **not** on an active network frequency.

If, at any time, we learn about a Pilot's questionable or disruptive behavior while flying on an online network, the matter will be fully investigated and, if deemed appropriate, they'll be formally disciplined.
