I’m new to Vatsim.  Is it acceptable to reposition the aircraft in the cruise to a non controlled airspace. For example flying KJFK to VHHH.  How about  repositioning in controlled airspace in the cruise? Thanks

Hi James,

this is a touchy subject. Preferrebly only jump from inactive airspace to another point that is located in inactive airspace. If you REALLY want to jump into active airspace, then do so in OBSERVER mode only (I think all our pilot clients allow you to do so). In OBS mode you will be invisible to others (and thus cannot create conflicts with other members), but you can still contact ATC! Advise them of your location ("xx miles Northeast of the ABC VOR"), flightlevel and intentions and request to connect to VATSIM in NORMAL mode (or whatever pilot clients call it). Only then will ATC and other pilots not only hear you, but also see you.
