Hi fellow simmers!

In the Vatsim docs I read something about an exam. I can't find it in when I log in. 

I created my account about 10 years ago. I never used it before. Today I flew my first online session on Vatsim. I was scary as hell, but I liked it very much!

I only thought you cannot go online when you didn't do your exam/test. So the question is. Do I still need to do the exam? My current rating is still "new member". Wil that change after I do the exam, or will that change after more flights online?

Welcome back. Because you were a member before the P0 test was mandated, you have "grandfather rights" which means that you don't need to take the test - even though you had never flown on the network before! (Spot the loophole, folks... :)

I don't know anything about your designation as a new member.

Thanks! I thought that already :)
Well If I can fly now it will not be a problem I think.
