vRAF Membership

Thank you for your interest in the Virtual Royal Air Force. We are pleased that you want to join our team. Before you submit your application form, we would like to introduce our organization and the expectations we have of our members:

IF YOU ARE NEW TO FLYING, THIS MAY NOT BE THE PLACE FOR YOU.

Our flight instructors are here to assist you through the training phases accordingly. If you are unsure of how to perform basic IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) procedures such as; filing flight plans, flying SIDs, STARs and approaches, following airspace restrictions and communicating with ATC, please do not apply.

WE ARE NOT A VIRTUAL AIRLINE.

The virtual Royal Air Force is a unique organization with a challenging training curriculum that requires determination and perseverance. New pilots must undergo an average of 20 hours of flight training before being considered a combat ready pilot.
