Joel Semmel Posted October 17, 2021 at 11:01 PM Posted October 17, 2021 at 11:01 PM While in flight I've lost internet connection for a few minutes. Upon regaining internet access, should I reconnect to VATSIM and continue my flight (which will reappear in a different location), end my flight and notify ATC, or some other course of action? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mats Edvin Aaro Posted October 17, 2021 at 11:14 PM Posted October 17, 2021 at 11:14 PM Hi, good question! You can absolutely continue your flight, as long as you're not paused. This information is found in the VATSIM Code of Conduct, article B(1): Quote B1 - A pilot shall not connect to the VATSIM Network on a runway or taxiway. If a pilot chooses to connect while airborne, a pilot shall ensure doing so does not cause disruption to other members. If you're in busy airspace, it's considered courteous to first connect in observer mode in your client and check if you are conflicting in the path of another aircraft (type .aircraft in your client and see distance). Generally speaking it should be no problem if you were only gone for a few minutes. 🙂 1 Mats Edvin AarøAssistant to the Vice President - Supervisors VATSIM General Manager: Member Engagement[email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
