# VATSIM Account Policy

As a proud partner Virtual Airline (VA) of the VATSIM network, United Virtual Airlines (UVA) supports and encourages participation in online network flying. However, it is **not a requirement** for our pilots to hold or operate a VATSIM account in order to fly with UVA.

That said, for pilots who **do** choose to have a VATSIM account:

1. You are required to **maintain your VATSIM account in good standing** at all times.
2. This includes compliance with all VATSIM rules, regulations, and codes of conduct.
3. UVA reserves the right to **review the status of your VATSIM account** at any time.

If your VATSIM account becomes **suspended or permanently terminated** for any reason, you may be subject to **disciplinary action** within UVA, up to and including **suspension or removal** from the Virtual Airline.

We hold our partnership with VATSIM in high regard and expect any pilot representing UVA on the network to do so professionally and respectfully.
