KJFK PILOTS PIREP

LAX FLY-IN

Fly-in on Friday 4/23 at LAX. See the TWVA Home Page for more details.

Filing PIREPS

On the Roster Page, click on your pilot number to see your flights and hours, report errors to the hub manager at [email protected]. Your Hours will update from Zero to your total hours after you have filed your first PIREP. All prior rules still apply. Inactive pilots must email me to be reactivated to file a PIREP

Site Updates

There is now a shorter address to type in to reach the hub, from now on you only have to type: jfktwva.tk in your browser to have the home page show up. Also a message board and chat room have been added please take the time to take advantage of these so we can all get to know one another. You may find them here

Pilot of the Month

No individual may be Pilot of the Month for two consecutive months. This is intended to allow all pilots a chance at the position. Should there be an instance where the pilot with the most hours is not the pilot of the month, that pilot will receive a note of honorable mention and automatic nomination for Hub Pilot of the Year

Retro Sundays and Featured Flights

A reminder that on all Sundays, Vatsim Fly-in's and on Featured Flights rating types DO NOT apply, which means you can fly which ever aircraft you like. Also Featured Flights and Vatsim Fly-in's are worth double the time. When filing your PIREP make sure to note whether your flight was a Featured Flight or a Retro Sunday flight or a Vatsim Fly-In.

JFK Is your Hub

Pilots are free to fly the schedule. Not restricted by hub.

All PIREPS filed, with the exception of Retro Sundays and Featured Flights and emergency diversions, should either orginate or end at John Fitzgerald Kennedy International Airport in New York City.

Prohibited Flight Numbers

Prohibited Flight Numbers are as follows: 266, 514, 529, 553, 789, 800, 903. These flight numbers you will not see in the schedule and will not be issued as Pilot ID's. Any pilot caught using these callsigns deliberately will be terminated from Trans World Virtual Airways!

Squawk Code 7500

TWVA has issued an indefinite ban on the use of transponder squawk code 7500, Special Emergency - Air Piracy (Hijack). Code 7500 will (should) never be assigned by ATC at any time. TWVA flight crews will NOT accept a squawk code of 7500. Should code 7500 be accidentally assigned, crews will politely request a new squawk code as soon as possible.
