Abnormal Situations (Diverting)¶

Flights are to be operated between airports defined by the schedule info, however, from time to time you may have to divert to an alternative airport due to unforeseen circumstances (engine loss, gear failure etc). Should a pilot need to divert, the pilot in command should as far as possibly divert to an airport operated by Turkish Virtual Airlines.

In order for the flight to be approved when diverting, the pilot must:

write a comment explaining why and where they diverted, start a new flight using the same flight number to complete the flight to its scheduled destination.

Diversions are allowed if the pilot experiences one of the following:¶

• The aircraft experiences technical issues which inhibit the safe continuation of the flight.

• If the weather at the arrival airport is beyond the safe operating limits of the aircraft.

• If any abnormal situations occur whilst airborne, which lead to a loss of fuel restricting aircraft range.

• If an airport is not available in your current scenery library pilots may divert to a nearby airport.

• Diversions are made at the discretion of the pilot and need not be communicated beforehand, however do leave a pilot comment on the FDR as to why your flight diverted from its original destination.

The flight can be continued in a different leg by making use of the charter/schedule flights system.
