The Virtual Airline simulates airline flight operations using flight simulators. You can register as a pilot and fly flights based on flight schedules & plans, which are similar to real air traffic. Virtual airlines are usually fictional and have no connection to real airlines. In a virtual airline, the virtual pilot can deepen his knowledge and document the routes he has flown on the computer. The registration of completed flights is done via a Pirep system. The VA use one of the various programs (ACARS-Software) available in the freeware area or a self-programmed one. These connect a flight log system for the simulator with an online database, whereby the recorded data can be automatically collected and transmitted to the VA.

 

At DLH Virtual the focus is on the flying community, open cooperation between pilots, helping each other with a common hobby, exchanging experiences and to provide our pilots the best virtual flight simulation experience.

Our mission is to become the best virtual airline possible. We realise to do so, staff and pilots must work together, hand in hand as a team and this is what we aim to do at DLH Virtual. We organise short–term Challenges and longer Tours in order to make flying with us an enjoyable experience yet transform this hobby into a serious learning curve as well. Especially on our tours you will discover wonderful places around the world away from the regular flight schedule. If you search for alternatives sometimes, you are at the right place. We also offer VFR-Tours and Business Jet-Tours.

 

Earn Special Awards for completing those Challenges, Tours and your progress as a DLH Virtual Pilot which are visible in your pilot profile forever.

 

We would be happy to welcome you onboard!

It’s up to you! Even if we are a partner airline of VATSIM and IVAO, it doesn’t mean that you have to fly online. It’s your choice to fly online or not.

We kind of have a ranking system, but that does not have anything to do with the category of planes. You can fly whatever you want according to our database.

Please note, that we only accept Windows-OS user due to none available ACARS software.

We offer our own ACARS software called simCARS, it supports older and all newer simulators. Our pilot’s find correspondending Download Links in Download Section of the Cloud Pilot Center.

 

Dear Pilots, both, newbies and sim-professionals alike,

like we said before, our goal is not only to provide you guys with an unmatched flying experience, but we also aim to transform this hobby into a serious learning curve. And what would be better than to have the chance almost every Sunday to attend dedicated trainings related to sim-flying in our DLH Academy? Well, then here we go: In those classes, we shed some light in topics like

• VFR navigation and -charts,
• the difference between circling- and visual approach,
• how to fly North Atlantic Tracks (NAT),
• what to do (and not to do) and how to communicate during flying online (VATSIM or IVAO)
• read and understand an ICAO flight plan
• the difference between TAF and METAR

The classes will be announced towards the end of each month for the following one, they will be held alternately in English and German, we meet every Sunday around 6 pm German time (in summer 1600z, in winter 1700z) in the lounge of our disocrd server. For more details / information, please feel free to leave a respective post in the academy chat, also on Discord.

Why holidays?

We expect our pilots to complete at least one flight within 30 days. If you’re unable to meet this requirement sometimes, you are free to request holiday time to protect your account from deletion due to inactivity. Don’t worry, we will contact you multiple times before any account is deleted. Therefore, please make sure that your email address is correct during registration / in your pilot profile.

 

How many do I get?

DLH Virtual credit every pilot 120 days of Holiday per year. For each month you are joining later in a year 10 days are subtracted.

i.E. you are joining in March you only get 100 days credited

Yes, it’s possibe. We give a maximum of 250 transfer hours.

 

To request transfer hours from other VA´s or Online networks like VATSIM, IVAO, Volanta and so on please open a helpdesk ticket here: DLH Helpdesk

• For transfer hours from your Volanta account your Volanta user name must be stored in your DLH pilot profile
• For transfer hours from online networks please note that we can only consider active Vatsim / IVAO-Accounts.

 

When transferring hours from an online network or from Volanta, the hours that have already been flown with us will be deducted from the total number of hours to be transferred if the hours on the online network/Volanta are less than the sum of the hours flown with us plus 250. This is to prevent hours flown with us from being counted twice afterwards.

If you decide to registrate, you need to enter the basic information. Your registration has to be accepted, please be a little bit patient.

If you re-registrate after deletion due to any reason and you want that we restore your old account, don’t forget to copy your old DLH-ID into the field “link to previous flight hours”!
