Account Procedures

All pilots must fly at least one flight within the first 14 days of successful completion of registration. You may request a leave of absence of up to 6 months; however, active pilots must file a flight every 60 days. Active Pilots who do not comply with this rule will automatically be removed from the roster unless a request for Leave of Absence (LOA) is filed. You can use this feature via your logbook. If you require assistance, please contact the Executive Vice President & Chief Human Resources Officer.

All flights must contain a valid VAC flight as assigned by the scheduling system on the website. Flights not in this system will be rejected and removed after filing.

Flight Reports will be added to the database and be sent to your Senior Base Director for review. Pilots who submit false flight reports may have their entire log wiped clean, be under suspended status, or terminated. Any pilots who fly routes that are not authorized will have their flight reports rejected.

Each pilot is only permitted to submit a flight report for the type of aircraft for which they have been certified. Any flight reports for uncertified aircraft will be rejected, and repeated offences may lead to the pilot's logbook wiped clean, be under suspended status or even termination of membership.

The use of VACARS in conjunction with other virtual airline's ACARS system is strictly prohibited. The flight record will be removed and status of the member automatically set to suspension pending review from the management team.

VAC uses a flight tracking program that displays actual aircraft type operated on your system. If a violation is detected, the member will be given a warning and flight assignment will be removed by our management team. It is imperative that you operate the aircraft type you bid for.

All new members must read and comply with the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
