01. Acceptance of Terms

By registering an account, connecting a flight simulator, or accessing controller software on the Clearance Network, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these guidelines, you must immediately disconnect from all network servers and cease using our community platforms.

These terms apply to all members, including virtual pilots, radar controllers, instructors, and network administrators. We reserve the right to update these terms at any time to maintain a safe and realistic simulated environment.

02. Network Conduct & Frequency Rules

The Clearance Network strives to provide a highly realistic virtual aviation experience. To maintain the integrity of our airspace, all users must adhere to strict conduct guidelines:

  • Maintain professional and courteous communication on all voice and text frequencies at all times.
  • Do not transmit on active frequencies unless required for your current flight phase or controlling duties.
  • Follow the instructions of online virtual air traffic controllers promptly and accurately. If unable to comply, state "unable" and request alternative routing.
  • Abuse, harassment, or deliberate disruption of live traffic will result in immediate suspension of network privileges.

03. Controller Ratings & Facility Operations

Providing air traffic control services on the network requires proper certification. Operating a virtual radar facility without the appropriate rating is strictly prohibited.

  • Members must complete the designated training path and pass practical examinations to advance their controller ratings.
