Is DC-3 Airways supposed to be using our manuals? I was looking for something on Google and clicked their link and our Reading Charts Manual came up. Just curious if they have permission to use our manuals.

Unless senior staff gave permission which I doubt, that's multiple copyright violations. Have you made a help desk issue? That's the best way to get their attention.

No I haven't made one. Is that what I should do, Brandon?

Calm down guys its legal and OK.
A few years when I was Chief Pilot of the DC6 group we needed a updated version of the DC3.Since I also Fly for DCA airways and they fly only the DC3 and DC4 I started discussions with our CEO.That led to the DCA CEO agreeing to provide there DC3 and unique panel in exchange For these DVA three files. Here is part of e-mail sent to DCA pilots and it is still posted.

"Pilot Manuals

We are deeply indebted to Scott Clarke and George Lewis of Delta Virtual Airlines who have very generously offered to share their pilot manuals with the pilots of DC-3 Airways. A special mention and a Thank You must be made to our own 0026 Bob Welch, who is also a member of Delta Virtual Airlines, for negotiating their use on our behalf.

The files may be downloaded by right clicking on 'here' and selecting "Save Target As". Please be aware though that by downloading these files, it is under the strict understanding that they are for the personal use of DC-3 Airways pilots, and under no circumstances will be divulged to anyone who isn’t a member of DC-3 Airways.

The manuals have understandably been written specifically for Delta Virtual Airlines in relation to their VATSIM activities, but will also be extremely educational to our own pilots who wish to learn the correct way of flying under VATSIM conditions. Even if you are not involved in the DC-3 Airways VATSIM Division, the comprehensive manuals will make for very interesting reading, and perhaps entice you into taking the step into enjoying flying under virtual real world conditions. There is more information available in the VATSIM section of the DC-3 Airways forum."

The Vatsim forum at DCA ,like our DVA forum can only accessed by MEMBERS.
Hope this clears up the mystery for you

Bob
