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:

WE HOLD OURSELVES TO HIGH STANDARDS

Our flight instructors are here to assist you through the training phases accordingly but unfortunately we do not have the training capacity to teach basic IFR or VFR flying skills. If you are new to flying this may not be the place for you.

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.
