Article 2 - Flights
The registered pilots are invited to fly according to their desiderata or according to the flights schedule placed under the division administrator responsibility, by taking care to send their flight reports after every flight realized on the network (see the PIREPS section). Flight reservations are not compulsory contrary to flight reports (Pireps). Flight reservations must be made if necessary, at least before start up. Mainly cargo flights. Flights realised out of the network as well as reports for flights realised out of the network are not accepted, even for flights under the number LAL0000, the vocation of the virtual company being to participate at the flights activities on the network I.V.A.O. to which it is affiliated and with which it is certified, but also to promote this type of flight with the pilots. N.B : CS/LITTORAL is required in the very first position of block 15 reserved for remarks for IVAPs as well as the indication RMK/IVAOVA/LIT. It should be noted that no one is authorised to fly under a Littoral pilot call sign for which he or she is not the holder, unless he or she is a member of the company's flight crew.
As far as flights for the Aeroclub and VIP divisions are concerned, in addition to the regular flights shown in the flight tables and the flights organised as part of events, pilots are also free to carry out VIP flights under the number LAV0000 departing from the airports of their choice to destinations of their choice in France, the French Overseas Departments and Territories and abroad, and Aeroclub flights under the number LAA0000 departing from airports in France and the French Overseas Departments and Territories. A PIREP must be completed for these flights, as for all other flights.
Article 3 - Activity
If during the first two months, the trainee-pilot realized no flight for the company, he (she) is automatically removed. The flights made for Littoral Airlines have necessarily to be registered after each flight as a report (PIREP) on the website of the company using the online form. On the other hand, the input of PIREPS on the site of IVAO is not requested by the company and is not validated by the Staff. It is therefore useless to register the PIREPS on the IVAO website. The trainee-pilots who, at the end of the first six months following their registration, did not realize a minimum of 25 hours (of flight) on the network are removed from the company without advance notice. In case of predictable prolonged inactivity, a message will be sent to the Staff of the company. In case of inactivity over a long period without any justification, the pilot will be removed from the company. For all the pilots a minimum of 4 hours of flight per month under Littoral Airlines callsign is required on the network subject to the situations exposed above, and at the risk of temporary or definitive suspension.
Article 4 - Promotion and rank
Each new pilot is hired as trainee-pilot for a period of two months minimum, which could be extended to six months maximum. The flights made for the company are counted if they have been registered into a flight report. The validated hours to reach the rank of qualified pilot are only the hours made on the network I.V.A.O.. Even if a trainee–pilot exceeds 25 hours registered out of the network, he (she) nevertheless stays trainee-pilot with regard to LAL as long as he (she) did not totalise 25 hours of connection on the network I.V.A.O.. Also, if he (she) exceeds 25 hours on the network before the end of two months minimum of training he (she) is automatically promoted to the rank of qualified pilot. In both cases he (she) keeps the quality of trainee-pilot during the two months. The passages to the upper rank are function of the number of hours capitalized until the rank of 1st Flight Officer. To reach the rank of Captain, an on-line evaluation by the Chief Pilot or his delegate is mandatory. To reach the various superior qualifications attached to the Rank of Captain, the candidate must necessarily, excluding exceptions planned in the article 5, to take according to the qualification, a test of qualification, an examination in flight, or an aptitude test. As an exception to the present article, the airline pilots (FO) who totalize more than 5000 h to the exclusive profit of the company Littoral Airlines, can be promoted by advancement to the rank of Line Captain, with the benefit of their seniority within the company and thus exempted from taking this exam.
