Are the Pirep\'s be checked?

<< < (4/5) > >>

EHM-1670 Bill:
Checking overlapping times could be dangerous if the time was set to FS time rather than system time or does flogger pick up system time. I like to take off just before dawn when possible.

Merlin - if you want strict then fly Euroharmony in conjunction with VPA - not only is every Pirep checked by one of the management but flight levels have to be correct  using RVSM, NAT RVSM and North South RVSM swapping from feet to metres and back again when going through some areas of Russian airspace. And the course has to be declared on the Pirep. I love it!! ;D

EHM-1703 Philip:
I'm with you on that Bill!

EHM-0361 Karsten:
Well Bill, I'm not looking for strict or saying that we should have a whole bunch of rules for how we should fly. But beside saying that, I'm going to keep the rest to myself, and try to remeber it's only a game, so what does it matter.

EHM-1821 Javier:
Let's say i m flying a long haul.at cruise altitude, i ask someone to help me respond to messages frm ATC for part of the flight time but later come back to take control.

does that count as cheating?what is your opinion?

EHM-0948 Bruno:
Hi,

I think this conversation is going way too long ;D ..

Regarding to point 4.6 and answering some questions mentioned above:

Karsten you were right. So, on long haul flights we cannot do "overnight" flights. That applies to everyone. I am glad I did made only one or 2 flights and I will ask my Hub Manager to remove my flight hours.

About the PIREP signing in, you need to enter your real PC time (on startup, take off, landing, etc) and not the flight simulator time. So, this way you never overlap your flight time.

Rules are to be followed although I agree this is a hobby and we are here to have fun.
So, if you cannot fly for a period of time, tell it to your hub captain and he will put you on the correct status so you don't become inactive or removed (because you had communicated it previously), but you cannot increase your flight hours by doing long haul night flights (and sleeping).

1821, you cannot ask someone to take control of your airplane on that situation. The pilot who's controling the aircraft must check the instruments every 15 minutes.

I would say, in  conclusion, that the definition for cheating is when you are not following EHM rules (read the operations manual). If you follow them, then you are not cheating.
I also comprehend some of you who thinks that we are here to have fun (and that's the idea!), but even on hobbies like this one, rules must be followed. And the rules don't spoil the fun, but creates a common plataform and shared level to give everyone the same carreer chances.
