The house rules, the tools and a few things nobody tells you until your first report bounces.
A booking is made for one specific aircraft, so pick the registration you will really load. The rule behind it is strict: the type booked must be the type flown. Fly another type and the report is invalid, even if everything else about the flight was perfect.
Changed your mind? Rebook. Swapping the aircraft after booking and filing against the old one does not work.

You get it when you join, DLH1049 and the like, and it follows you everywhere: vAMSYS, the leaderboards and even the passcode of your Crew Pad.

On VATSIM, file the callsign shown on your vAMSYS booking, DLH… or OCN… for example. The commercial number (LH…, 4Y…, EN…) belongs on the schedule and in your paperwork.

vAMSYS cancels the booking you pick and every booking after it. If you only want to drop one leg, rebook the later ones afterwards. It also does not work while your flight is still sending position reports.

Pegasus, our ACARS, records position, altitude, fuel and the landing rate. At shutdown it files your PIREP and the grading happens on the spot. All you do is start it before pushback.

Any aircraft of the booked type works, freeware included, as long as it roughly matches the real performance.

Online flying is encouraged, especially for events, but offline flights are accepted and graded just the same.

Hours, legs and ranks from another virtual airline do not carry over. Every hour on your record was flown with us.

Time acceleration, mid-air refuelling and a landing load above 2.6 g invalidate a report outright. There is no appeal, because the sector was not flown the way the report claims.

A diversion, a new livery or a bounced landing send your report to staff review. A person looks at the sector before it counts, because the automatic checks cannot tell a good reason from a bad one.

Every sector gets a report, and it counts when the sector was flown continuously, in real time and in the booked aircraft.

In the Academy a type rating only counts as complete when the course is finished and the check ride has been flown and accepted.

lh-virtual.app is a simulated company tablet that holds your roster, briefing, mail and logbook. You sign in with your vAMSYS account, and there is nothing to install.

DLH1049 unlocks with 1049. It is not a secret and it is not meant to be: your data is protected by your vAMSYS session on the server. The passcode just makes the device behave like a device.

Roughly one open in four, the first look is refused, because real hardware does that too. It only ever happens on the first try, so just look again.

Tap the home indicator, the short bar at the bottom edge. Pull down from the top right corner for Control Center, and from the top edge for Notification Center.

While you are airborne on an active flight the switch is locked, and the battery drains the way it would on a long leg. Both follow your vAMSYS flight, not a timer.

The glass picks up fingerprints where you tap and smears where you swipe, and there is a cleaning cloth to wipe them off. Not your thing? Settings → Display & Brightness.

From then on the Pad produces your briefings: preflight, weather and NOTAM post arrive in eDesk, staggered, from about three hours before departure until an hour after arrival. Without a check-in there is nothing to produce them for.

SimBrief always hands out your newest plan, and the Pad will not quietly adopt one you made yesterday. Press Uplink when you are ready. No plan found? It wants your numeric SimBrief pilot ID, not your username.

Fuel checks and actual times add up on the same PIREP, and a completed Scenery Vote streak counts on your next accepted one. The points appear on the PIREP, not on the Pad.
A fuel check is any fuel figure entered on the Flightplan page of flySmart! after take-off. TOC and TOD do not count.

vAMSYS removes the booking when Pegasus files the report. The Pad keeps the leg on your roster for up to 72 hours, marked TIMES MISSING, so you can still report your actual times and fuel.

If the Pad does not know a value, it says so. An assumed value is labelled as assumed and a missing one is named as missing, because a confident wrong number in a cockpit is worse than an honest blank.
