We are working to implement more features of these programs into our aircraft programs, and VATSIM approved Flight Academy. We are in no way affiliated with Delta Air Lines.

07/21/2020 BoG of VATSIM announces new start date of August 18 2020 for their new pilot rating system Scott Clarke
The BoG of VATSIM announced today that their new pilot rating system is to go live on August 18, 2020. Additionally, VATSIMs new user experience and website, myVatsim, will be launched before August 18th.
VATSIM new pilot rating system was previous scheduled to go live September 1st, so if you are trying to complete your P1, P2 or P3 rating course in our Flight Academy, you must complete by August 17, 2020. We will no longer be able to issue the old VATSIM P ratings after August 17, 2020.

On August 18th, any Flight Academy course not completed will be removed from the Flight Academy. For those pilots that have previously completed our Flight Academy P1, P2 or P3 courses and awarded the VATSIM ratings, VATSIM will reissue your P rating to a P1 rating (P1 will become P0).
The Flight Academy will continue to honor the ratings and courses that you have successfully completed under the old VATSIM rating system.

Delta Virtual Airlines Flight Academy is pleased to announce the opening of our VFR Advanced On Line Pilot course which qualifies you for the VATSIM P3 rating. This course is available to our members who have completed our On Line Pilot and VFR On Line Pilot courses and received the VATSIM P1 and P2 ratings.

This new course will challenge your VFR knowledge and flying skills. It has new prop aircraft, three check rides, a VFR flight planner and some interesting airports.

Go to the document library and read the Flight Academy VFR Advanced Online Pilot (VFRADV) course manual and if you want a challenge, sign up for the course.
03/30/2019 Delta Virtual Airlines Celebrates 18 Years! Terry Eshenour
This month marks 18 years of continuous service as Delta Virtual Airlines to our pilots. Can you believe it?

With Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000 gaining in popularity and 2002 on the horizon, our programmer, Luke Kolin, crafted an amazing dynamic web site and place for flight simmers to gather to emulate a real-world airline. Since that time we have seen 13,641 virtual pilots enter our doors. While we focused primarily on content, we are proud of our 988 active pilots today flying an average of 4,700 flights per month and all the contributions they make to our group.

Our goals remain to offer a safe location for likeminded aviation enthusiasts to gather, learn, share and access information to enhance their enjoyment of flight simming while maintaining everything as a free service. Services include learning real-world piloting skills through our flight academy, providing online events on VATSIM for online pilots to fly together, keeping a staged advancement program structure so less experienced pilots can enter using less complicated aircraft and work their way up as they gain experience, and as a VATSIM certified ATO offering courses and ratings.

We are pleased to continue to add to our historical flight database of over 17,000 current and historical flights including codeshares, and some atypical charter type flights to mix it all up. Our 42 volunteers continue to add content and new experiences to the virtual airline as we continue to grow and expand.

A significant recent accomplishment has been Luke and Salem Gbian's efforts to adapt the code for DVA ACARS to work with X-Plane 11 and Lockheed Martin's Prepar3d v4, both 64-bit programs. This represents a massive undertaking that has resulted in keeping DVA on the cutting edge of the flight simulation hobby.

Our Flight Academy which is run by real-world former pilots and a CFI is about to release the VFR Advance Online Pilot course (VATSIM P3). It is our goal to not just cover the bare minimums for a rating but to teach virtual pilots how to actually pilot the aircraft.

Whether you've been here 18 years or 18 hours, thank you for being a part of Delta Virtual Airlines!

10/28/2018 Yahoo and AOL Registered Pilots Terry Eshenour
Attention pilots with registered email using Yahoo and it’s affiliated services like Ymail, AOL, Verizon and possibly others, Yahoo is blocking messages from our server because they incorrectly classified us as a bulk mailer. This means that you are not receiving notifications, flight report reviews, password resets and email verifications from our mail server.

While we are attempting to correct this with Yahoo, it is necessary for you to change your email address to Gmail, the only dependable free email service. Some ISP services are dependable, like Comcast, ATT, Earthlink,but occasionally without warning reject our mail. Note, Microsoft’s domains, Outlook, MSN, Live, Hotmail, are not dependable.

Should you experience difficulty updating your address, send the new email address to info@deltava.org Staff will contact you using private email.

We apologize for the inconvenience this causes, but we need to be sble to communicate with you. A working email address is critical.

Thank you for your understanding.

Terry Eshenour
President
