*When on the Crew Operations website, zoom in or out as necessary to better view the details presented there.*

The *Crew Operations* website – also known as *Crew Ops* – is the place from which **all** activity flows at *Walker Air Transport*. Here, we'll get you logged in so you can explore all of its features and functionality – *and* perhaps even surprise you by the wealth of information available to you. By knowing what's within the site, we know you'll be better positioned to enjoy your experience with us. Within *this* document, we'll explore the sections of the *Navigation Bar* at the top of the screen and each of the areas beneath it. What you see below, in a *zoomed out* view, is what opens *after* you log in to the *Crew Ops* website. [![image-1651686241506.png](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2022-05/scaled-1680-/image-1651686241506.png)](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2022-05/image-1651686241506.png) Let's dive in... # Logging In - - - - - - Before you can begin flying with us, you’ll need to login as a *Crew Member* by clicking **Crew Login** in the website’s *Navigation Bar*.

**The section below is intended for only those logging onto the *Crew Ops* website for the first time. Once the steps noted below are completed, they will no longer be necessary.**

*Each step in this process must be completed **before** you'll be able to have full access the Crew Ops website.*

This is the **Welcome New Pilot** pop-up. To advance to the following pop-up, click the **Next** button. [![Onboarding 1.png](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2022-01/scaled-1680-/onboarding-1.png)](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2022-01/onboarding-1.png)
This is the **Important Information** pop-up. Read each item it contains ***very carefully***. To advance to the following pop-up, click the **Next** button. To return to the previous pop-up, click the **Previous** button. [![Onboarding 2.png](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2022-01/scaled-1680-/onboarding-2.png)](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2022-01/onboarding-2.png)
This is the **Online ATC Networks** pop-up. This one is specific to **WAT100** (to serve as an example); **your** screen will contain **your** Pilot ID. When operating an aircraft on any of the *Online ATC Networks*, your callsign is *always* to be your Pilot ID – **WAT** followed by your ID number. **It's not to be WAX or WAC or anything else**. To advance to the following pop-up, click the **Next** button. To return to the previous pop-up, click the **Previous** button. [![image-1642095456505.png](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2022-01/scaled-1680-/image-1642095456505.png)](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2022-01/image-1642095456505.png)
This is the **My Home** pop-up. Here, you're asked to select your **Home** airport – your personal base of operations. [![Onboarding 4a.png](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2022-01/scaled-1680-/onboarding-4a.png)](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2022-01/onboarding-4a.png)
If, for instance, you wish *KSEA* | *Seattle-Tacoma International Airport,* a major airport, to be your **Home**, enter it in in the field as shown. Click the **Save Home** button. You'll then be taken to the *Crew Ops* website where you'll be ready to begin the next part of the *New Pilot Orientation Process*. [![Onboarding 4c.png](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2022-01/scaled-1680-/onboarding-4c.png)](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2022-01/onboarding-4c.png)
If, however, you'd like to be based at something smaller or closer to where you actually live, you have that option, as well. In our example, we'll use *KTIW* | *Tacoma Narrows Airport*. This is a relatively small, GA-only airport and there are no Cargo or Scheduled flights originating or departing from it. In this case, the note in **red** will appear. If you want to operate Cargo and/or Scheduled flights on a regular basis, you may wish to consider selecting another airport. Otherwise, be aware of this restriction. If necessary, then, enter a new airport in the field. When done, click the **Save Home** button. You'll then be taken to the *Crew Ops* website where you'll be ready to begin the next part of the *New Pilot Orientation Process*. [![Onboarding 4b.png](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2022-01/scaled-1680-/onboarding-4b.png)](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2022-01/onboarding-4b.png) **NOTE:** *After setting your **Home** here, it doesn't have to be permanent. You can change it anytime you wish to do so. Read more about that [**here**](https://docs.walkerair.us/books/2-training/page/the-navigation-bar-pilot-profile).*

*If you **bid** a flight using Flight > Cargo, Flight > Charter or Flight > Schedule, you **will not receive** the bonus points and hours; and we will not make exceptions.*

Now that bidding is open, let's go through the process... The type of event (*Fly-In, Fly-Out, Fly-In/Fly-Out or Specific)* will determine what your bid screen looks like. It's pretty self-explanatory; however, we'll show an example of the *Specific* event type. 1. Click the **Bid Flight** button. [![image-1648812385674.png](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2022-04/scaled-1680-/image-1648812385674.png)](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2022-04/image-1648812385674.png) 2. You are now presented with the 'Bid Your Flight' screen.

This event has a specific airport selection – *KATL* and *KJAX*. Pick which of these you want to be your departure airport. [![image-1687629842649.png](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2023-06/scaled-1680-/image-1687629842649.png)](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2023-06/image-1687629842649.png) 2. Pick your arrival airport. Because this event only has two (2) airports, you get one (1) choice.

*You will see your departure airport in this list. The reason we provide it is that sometimes pilots want to practice area flying and returning to their departure airport while ATC is available during an event. It is OK if you pick the same departure and arrival, if available, during your participation.*

If you happen to pick *Charter* as your fleet, you will be presented with a load option. You can choose cargo or passengers *(default.)* [![image-1687630203045.png](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2023-06/scaled-1680-/image-1687630203045.png)](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2023-06/image-1687630203045.png) 5. Click on "Bid Flight" and you will be taken to your **My Bids** page. There, you'll see your newly-created Event Bid. At this point you can continue forward with smartCARS 3 or FlightTrackerXP, begin your flight and receive credit as defined in our Events Procedures [**here**](https://docs.walkerair.us/books/3-help/page/events).

*You can fly as many flights as you wish during an event window given that you can stay within the hours defined in the Events Standard Operating Procedures. You may only bid 1-flight at a time, so if you return to your Event page and you are currently in-flight, or have a bid, you will see a 'Bid Exists' button. You must either forfeit (remove) or complete that bid in order to bid a new flight.*

After doing so, the **Distance** between the airports will be noted along with the **Price** of the ticket. Click the **Purchase Ticket** box. **EXAMPLE:** This Pilot wishes to jumpseat from OEJN > EDDL. It will cost $466.80 for them to do so. With $265,043.51 in their wallet, the ticket can easily be purchased. If, however, the balance in that Pilot's Wallet had been *less than* the price of the Jumpseat, the Ticket could not have been purchased.

When you actively start your flight logging using one of the ACARS applications available at our VA, we will block you from deleting your bid.

The next time you place a bid in any of our modules, or events, you will see a list of your favorite's at the top followed by the remaining aircraft in that fleet. - **Max Cargo**: All aircraft in our fleet have a maximum cargo load defined. This is usually the absolute maximum that the aircraft can take based on information readily available. You have an option now to select a number, up to the maximum we have defined, as a new maximum just for you. What number you put in this box will impact your load calculation in the pilot briefing and also for our simBrief OFP generator. - **Max Passengers**: All aircraft in our fleet (minus Cargo) have a maximum passenger load defined. This is usually the absolute maximum that the aircraft in particular can take without any cabin layout modifications. You have an option now to select a number, up to the maximum we have defined, as a new maximum just for you. Think of this like a cabin-class configuration. What number you put in this box will impact your load calculation in the pilot briefing and also for our simBrief OFP generator. - **simBrief Custom Airframes**: This allows you to provide a custom aircraft frame ID from SimBrief, or a fellow pilot, and use the 'Generate SimBrief' option in the Pilot Briefing. If you choose to keep these values empty we will use the default SimBrief aircraft values (if available.) Simply copy and paste the Internal ID to the respected aircraft (pay attention to type of operation) and click 'Save SimBrief' at the bottom. If you wish to remove an airframe simply clear the value and save your settings.

If you only have a few airports, it might be best to simply use the manual process. Let's walk through the interface and learn how to use it. There is a maximum visible height, and then the scenery list becomes a scrollable box. [![image-1723236290195.png](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2024-08/scaled-1680-/image-1723236290195.png)](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2024-08/image-1723236290195.png) 1. The "🗑️" next to the ICAO text box will delete that *single* row. 2. The text box is where you will enter the ICAO. 3. The check box(s) depict which simulator(s) you have scenery for. This data is transferred to the maps when you hover over the airport. 4. The "+ Add Entry" button will add another row to the display. Each row is used to denote an airport, and the simulators (by clicking the checkmarks under each simulator column. 5. The "🗑️Delete All Entries" button will remove every row you have, including those that you had imported previous. 6. If you wish to export your current list to a CSV, simply click this button. The CSV can also be used to import back into the database if you wish. It is the same file and format structure of the importer. 7. *Please review the section below titled 'Import by CSV'.* 8. The "💾 Save Custom Scenery" button is the only method to save your changes, or import a CSV file. If you do not click this button, it will not upload to the database. 9. *Deleting all rows, and then clicking "Save Custom Scenery" will completely erase your data. We cannot restore it and you will need to start all over.* - - - - - - ##### **Import by CSV** We have an upload option supported by a CSV. You simply need to download the CSV template by clicking on the [![image-1690122730171.png](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2023-07/scaled-1680-/image-1690122730171.png)](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2023-07/image-1690122730171.png) button to the right of the "Choose file..." box. You will download a file called '*wat-customscenerytemplate.csv*' that contains a template, and examples of airports. Please review this animated image on how to work with this file.

*The CSV import can support both comma and semi-colon delimiters. Our template comes with a comma delimiter.*

*Requirements:* 1. Row 1 must always be the header: icao, p3d, msfs, xp. 2. Each simulator columns is either 0 (no) or 1 (yes). 3. ICAO column MUST be the ICAO, **do not upload airport names**. 4. You must delete rows 1-3 so that row 1 is the header as indicated in #1 above. After you have formatted your CSV file, save it to your desktop (or somewhere.)

*If you made changes to the airport rows through our manual process, please save that before you do an upload. The upload process only adds or modifies what is in the CSV file, it will not take changes you've done in the interface. Good way to remember this: You either make manual changes and save, or you upload a CSV and save. You cannot do both!*

*Review its contents carefully and make your onboarding quicker and easier by completing the reading you're asked to do.*

You're all set to go in our *Discord*. Click through the channels to familiarize yourself with what's there. Whether just lurking or being an active participant – or simply finding a place somewhere in between – we encourage you to engage with your fellow Pilots at a level of involvement with which you're comfortable. # Pilot Profile – Donate - - - - - -

***While not mandatory or expected**, it’s an option for one to make a financial contribution to support Airline operations (servers and service providers), enhancements and improvements (modules, functionality, liveries, etc.) – or in any other way the Business Office determines is appropriate and necessary for support of the Airline and its Pilots.*

If you wish to donate to the Airline, here's a way for that to be done. The details noted below explain what it is *and* how it works. [![image-1638301388159.png](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2021-11/scaled-1680-/image-1638301388159.png)](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2021-11/image-1638301388159.png) You may also opt to join the [Patreon program](https://docs.walkerair.us/books/2-training/page/pilot-profile-patreon) to financially support the company, and get additional benefits. # Pilot Profile – Patreon Please read our Patreon help section here: **[Click Here](https://docs.walkerair.us/books/3-help/chapter/patreon "Patreon")** # Additional Reading - - - - - - If you haven't already done so, read through the other documents within our *Document Management System* to get acquainted with our Company’s culture and *Policies* and *Procedures*. After that, you'll be ready to begin planning your first flight with knowledge and confidence... # New Pilot Orientation Welcome to New Pilot Orientation! Your success in our Airline is based solely upon how well you grasp and understand the features and functionality of our customized, proprietary Flight Data System and how well you're able to use it and an ACARS data exchange application. If you can master the sections that follow, you'll be ready to take to the virtual skies confidently in your new career and have fun doing so! # Welcome - - - - - -

*Before you proceed with this part of your Orientation, you must complete reading through the **The Crew Operations Website** module. It'll make what follows much less frustrating and more easily understandable and enjoyable.* *Link: [**The Crew Operations Website**](https://docs.walkerair.us/books/2-training/chapter/the-crew-operations-website-the-navigation-bar "The Crew Operations Website")*

Once again, welcome to *Walker Air Transport*! We’re very pleased to have you with us. It’s our intent to get you into the air as soon as possible. Experience, though, has taught us that following a formal process to bring new Pilots onboard is best for everyone. That being said, let’s get going… Our Pilots are expected to know how to fly before they arrive. For that reason, we don't have nor do we offer a *Flight Training Program* – formal flight training is well beyond the scope of what we do here. Instead, advancing our belief the more one knows about something, the more fun they’re likely to have doing it, we’ve worked very hard to create a safe and fun environment where continual learning is strongly encouraged *and* practiced. And what might that include? For us, it’s about creating and having experiences to develop new piloting skills – or enhance existing ones – and practicing them often to improve proficiency. It’s also about enjoying the time spent flying to its fullest. That means using automation to its maximum potential and using it to make flying with us as user-friendly... painless... frustration free... and painless as possible. Our **Flight Operations Process** is streamlined and fully-automated so our Pilots can focus on what’s truly important to them – flying! For a first-timer, though, all of this might seem intimidating at first, so the Onboarding | Orientation Process we’ve detailed in the following pages will help you get acquainted with: - how we do things here; and, - how **you** can be a success – and have fun – as a *Walker Air Transport* Pilot. Well, enough talking... It's time for us to go exploring! # Downloading & Installing Liveries - - - - - -

*Whenever you fly using our Flight Data System, your aircraft must be 'wearing our colors'. In other words, your flight must be flown in an aircraft using our livery. This section addresses how to locate the livery you need and how to install it.*

##### - - - - - - ##### **Downloading Liveries** Download | install a livery for each aircraft you intend to fly. *Location:* **Downloads** > **Liveries** > **Active** This is the top section of the *Liveries* page. [![image-1637609804111.png](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2021-11/scaled-1680-/image-1637609804111.png)](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2021-11/image-1637609804111.png) - - - - - - **Let's use the Airbus A320 as an example for this process.** To make it easy to find a livery for the A320, there are a number of sorting/filtering options that can be used in the top section of the **Liveries** Page. You may search by any of these categories:
**Aircraft Type****Flight Simulator****Fleet Assignment**
All Aircraft Types currently available for Flight Operations in our three (3) Fleets.All Lockheed Martin Prepar3D® Microsoft® Flight Simulator 2020 X-PlaneAll Cargo Charter Scheduled
We'll scroll through the offerings to find our aircraft by entering **A320** in the **Aircraft Type** *Search Box*. This is what you'll see: [![image-1637610476412.png](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2021-11/scaled-1680-/image-1637610476412.png)](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2021-11/image-1637610476412.png) In a format we've standardized across our Fleets, this is what we see for the A320: - A screen shot of the aircraft. - The Flight Simulators where this aircraft can be flown are noted. - In some instances, multiple *Walker Air Transport* liveries may be available. Here, there happen to be two \[2\] available – Modern and Vintage. This will **not**, however, be the case for all Fleet aircraft. - The Developers whose aircraft we support are noted. Click the **Download** button. That will enable us to determine the Flight Simulator in which this aircraft can be flown. In the company’s *Google Drive,* each Flight Simulator for which we have a livery will have its own sub-folder. In our example, we can see the A320 can be flown in **Prepar3D** *and* **X-Plane**.
[![image-1637611311097.png](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2021-11/scaled-1680-/image-1637611311097.png)](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2021-11/image-1637611311097.png)
- - - - - - Within the *Flight Simulator* sub-folder, the Developer(s) of the aircraft in our Fleet will have their own sub-folder. In our example, we have an A320 from *Aerosoft* and *FSLabs* that can be flown in **Prepar3D**.
[![image-1637611266273.png](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2021-11/scaled-1680-/image-1637611266273.png)](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2021-11/image-1637611266273.png)
- - - - - - In our example, we also have an A320 from *FlightFactor* and *JARDesigns* that can be flown in **X-Plane**.
[![image-1637612035717.png](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2021-11/scaled-1680-/image-1637612035717.png)](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2021-11/image-1637612035717.png)

*The A320 is a very popular aircraft. As a result, a large number of flight simulator and Developer options exist. This will **not** necessarily be the case, however, with each aircraft in the Company’s Cargo, Charter and Scheduled Fleets.*

*To be clear about aircraft and liveries… All liveries are Developer-specific **and** flight simulator-specific. If you have questions about compatibility, post them to the **\#general** channel in Discord – **or** – submit a **Help Ticket**.*

Click on the livery you want to download. Follow the onscreen prompts.
[![image-1637612305230.png](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2021-11/scaled-1680-/image-1637612305230.png)](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2021-11/image-1637612305230.png)
In addition to having two \[2\] liveries, this aircraft also has a number of mods available (**\#modifications** Folder) you can download and install *if you wish to do so*. **It’s not a requirement you use them.**
[![image-1637612555331.png](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2021-11/scaled-1680-/image-1637612555331.png)](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2021-11/image-1637612555331.png)
- - - - - - ##### **Installing Liveries** Once downloaded on your computer, install the livery into your *Flight Simulator* in the prescribed manner. Afterwards, with your Flight Simulator running, what you downloaded will then be available for you to see. Repeat this process as many times as necessary to obtain the liveries and mods \[as available\] you want. If you need assistance installing a livery in your Sim, go [**here**](https://docs.walkerair.us/books/3-help/chapter/liveries). # Downloading & Installing ACARS - - - - - - In order for our customized, proprietary *Flight Data System* to function properly, it must be connected to your Sim so the data your flight generates can be transmitted to it. That transmission of data is facilitated by ACARS software.

*The term ACARS is intended to cover all Fight Tracking Software.*

**Windows** | **PC****MacOS (X-Plane Only)**
**smartCARS 3** [*click here to download and view instructions*](https://docs.walkerair.us/books/3-help/page/smartcars-3-windows-pc-mac-os-linux "smartCARS 3 | Windows PC Mac OS Linux") **FlightTrackerXP** [*click here to download and view instructions*](https://docs.walkerair.us/books/3-help/page/flighttrackerxp-macos "FlightTrackerXP | MacOS")
Depending on your computer's *Operating System* and the Sim you use, one of these *Flight Tracking Software* programs must be installed in order for you to fly with us. # Flying Your First Flight - - - - - - We've covered all of the supportive areas.

There are, however, others *–* and they can be found using an Internet search.
**simBrief****SkyVector**
To plan your flight using ***simBrief***, click the link and follow the instructions. **LINK:** **[simBrief](https://docs.walkerair.us/books/help/page/simbrief)**

*The Flight Plan simBrief generates is merely a suggestion. There's no requirement you actually fly it.*

To plan your flight using ***SkyVector***, click the link and follow the instructions. **LINK:** [**https://skyvector.com/**](https://skyvector.com/)
- - - - - - ##### **Start Your Flight Simulator – Pre-Flight** Start your *Flight Simulator*. Load the aircraft you intend to fly at the departure airport in your Bid/Flight Plan. **Verify your aircraft is 'wearing' a *Walker Air Transport* livery *before* you start ACARS**.

*If you fail to use a Walker Air Transport livery and operate your flight using our ACARS-based Flight Data System, your flight will be rejected and, if this becomes a pattern, you risk being terminated.*

##### - - - - - - ##### **Start ACARS** Open *ACARS.*

***Make this a habit**. If you fail to start ACARS **before** you pushback and begin your flight, none of its data can be transferred to our Flight Data System – and that means you will **not** receive credit for the flight.*

To start *ACARS*, click [**here**](https://docs.walkerair.us/books/3-help/chapter/acars) and follow the instructions specific to your computer's *Operating System* and supported Flight Simulator. ** ** - - - - - - ##### **Online Air Traffic Control** If you're using live Air Traffic Control for your flight – *IVAO*, *PilotEdge* or *VATSIM* – log in to their system and follow their instructions and/or prompts. - - - - - - ##### **Fly Your Flight** Once you've reached this point, your aircraft is on the ramp at your departure airport – and your Pre-Flight is underway. Complete your checks – and with your engine(s) running, you're ready for pushback. Enjoy! **NOTE:** *Once your aircraft moves, the Pre-Flight segment of your flight is complete.* # Reviewing Your PIREP - - - - - - The data produced by your simulator during your flight was transmitted to our *Flight Data System (FDS)* by ACARS. After receiving and processing it, our *FDS* was able to generate the reports and displays found in your **Logbook**. To review the PIREP for the flight you just completed, click [**here**](https://docs.walkerair.us/books/3-help/page/locating-your-pirep) and follow the instructions it contains. And just a reminder... Manual PIREPS are **not** allowed. # Completing Your Flight - - - - - - After landing, taxi to your parking spot and stop. Once you do that, your flight officially ends. Take a moment to review your ACARS **Flight Log** *before* filing it. Details about doing that can be found [**here**](https://docs.walkerair.us/books/3-help/page/approved-rejected-and-diverted). File your **Flight Log**. After doing so, a PIREP for your flight will be automatically completed and saved to your **Logbook**. It'll be categorized as being **Approved**, **Rejected** or **Diverted** based on the criteria noted below.

*If you did **not** land at your planned Arrival Airport, your flight will be categorized as being **Diverted**.*

**Approved****Rejected****Diverted**
The criteria for an **Approved** flight are: - You completed a flight from your planned *departure* airport to your planned *arrival* airport; - The Company’s *Landing Rate Standard –* a landing rate equal to or softer than -800 was **achieved**. All Points, Flight Hours and Pay are awarded. The PIREP is posted to your Logbook as being Completed | **Approved**. The criteria for a **Rejected** flight are: - The Company’s *Landing Rate Standard –* a landing rate was harder than -800fpm - Your flight time was 00.00 hours (premature landing); and/or, - You used more fuel than you left the airport with (in-flight refueling); and/or, - You did **not** fly with a *Walker Air Transport* livery (except if part of the Patreon program). No Points, Flight Hours or Pay are awarded. The PIREP is posted to the your Logbook as being Completed | **Rejected**. The criteria for a **Diverted** flight are: - You completed a flight from your planned *departure* airport to an *unplanned arrival* airport; - The Company’s *Landing Rate Standard –* a landing rate equal to or softer than -800fpm was **achieved**. All Points, Flight Hours and Pay are awarded.

*If this occurs when flying a **Tour** leg, you will **not** be advanced to the next leg. The leg will have to be reflown.*

The PIREP is posted to your Logbook as being Completed | **Diverted**.
If you think your flight was categorized incorrectly or you'd like to ask a question about it, submit a **Help Ticket**. # Conclusion - - - - - - Congratulations!

here’s what you need to do:
**Student Pilot:** **Private Pilot:**
- DM a member of the *Business Office* on Discord - (and make sure to include your name and WAT Pilot ID); and, - Provide a copy of your *Student License* (block out your mailing address information) – or – for those outside the US, something of an equivalent nature to validate your status. The name on your license **must** be visible and **must** match the name you have on-file with the virtual airline. Your license must be valid and **not** expired. - DM a member of the *Business Office* on Discord (and make sure to include your name and WAT Pilot ID); and, - Provide a copy of your *Pilot License* (block out your mailing address information) to show you hold, at a minimum, a Private Pilot endorsement. The name on your license **must** be visible and **must** match the name you have on-file with the virtual airline. Your license must be valid and **not** expired.

*If you’d rather **not** submit a copy of your license for either designation, that's your decision. However, you can’t obtain the roles in Discord without verifying you're either a Student or Licensed Pilot.*
