Rules and Policies

We welcome your membership to ProPilotWorld.com. As with any website, there are rules and policies governing its use and we ask that you please carefully and completely read our rules and policies.

By accessing this website, you accept, without limitation or qualification, the following Terms of Service. You are only authorized to use this website and its services if you agree to abide by all applicable laws and to these Terms of Service. If you do NOT accept the Terms of Service, then please discontinue your use of this website immediately.

We may modify these Terms of Service from time to time and such modification shall be effective upon posting on the website. You agree to be bound to any changes to these Terms of Service when you use this website after any such modification is posted. Is it important that you review these Terms of Service regularly to ensure you are updated as to any changes made. These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement regarding your use of this website and the services it offers and supersede any such prior terms.

Membership Requirements

Access to ProPilotWorld.com is restricted to persons holding a Commercial Pilot Certificate or higher (Professional Flight Engineers, Air Traffic Control Specialists and Licensed Dispatchers are accepted as well). The intent of this site is to cater to the needs and desires of pilots who make their living in the aviation industry. For access to ProPilotWorld.com, you will be required to give your full name (exactly as it appears on your pilot certificates) during registration, this information will be verified with the FAA database to confirm identity and credentials. This information will also be cross-referenced with the name used on the payment method to complete the confirmation of identity. Only the Administrators will have access to a member's full name; the Forum Leaders (Moderators) or general membership will NOT have access to this information, this information is only used to verify membership eligibility. If a member can't be verified via the FAA Database, an alternate method to verify identity/credentials will be offered.  Any membership obtained by persons not meeting our membership requirements will be terminated without refund.  Memberships obtained using false information will be considered fraudulent and may be subject to local, national and international electronic media laws. 

The Rule of Two

Rule One: Do not post content which could put yourself, ProPilotWorld.com, LLC or it's agents, the Forum Leaders, or other members in possible legal jeopardy. This would include, but not be limited to libelous remarks about an individual or a company, posting an individual's name, image and/or personally identifying information without their express permission, posting a "scab list" or posting any information that is copyrighted, proprietary or of a security nature. Each member will assume full and unconditional responsibility for what they post on this website.  Violation of this rule may result in termination (without refund) of your ProPilotWorld.com membership.

Rule Two: Do not post material which would cause an average, reasonable professional pilot to not want to join the ProPilotWorld.com membership. This would include, but not be limited to, personal attacks or insults, name calling, vulgarity, racial or ethnic remarks, or threats. If posting images, please make sure they are "work/family friendly", many members browse our forums with children present. Simply put, please conduct yourselves like professionals and treat other members with respect.  Just because you are communicating via an electronic medium does not mean you can leave your courtesy or common sense at the door, treat others as you would treat them if you were face to face with them in person. 

Policies

If an Administrator or Forum Leader has to take action regarding a post, the author will be contacted by Private Message (PM) and informed in a collegial and respectful manner. The Administrators of ProPilotWorld.com reserve the right to edit or remove any post that is deemed to violate either of the above rules or is not considered in the "spirit" of ProPilotWorld.com. The decision of the Administrators and Forum Leaders is final.

There is no automatic language censor, anything that you wish to say will be displayed. With this freedom, however, comes a certain responsibility. Just because you can say anything doesn't mean you should. If there is a point that you are making and nothing but the use of a good expletive will suffice, use it. That being said, please use them sparingly so that their impact is retained- and please, do not use them directed at another member. Fair enough?

There is no Penalty Box. Members who choose not to abide by the rules and policies outlined here and continue to disobey the rules will be denied access to ProPilotWorld.com and their membership will be revoked. Membership fees are not refundable, nor will access to membership be granted for a period of six months following membership revocation. Memberships are based upon a member's real name, not their usernames and are controlled accordingly. A members real name is required at registration for verification purposes only, the only people who have access to a members real name are the Administrators. Forum Leaders (Moderators) and the general membership do not have access to a members real name. Members who falsify their registration information will be immediately barred from ProPilotWorld.com without refund.

ProPilotWorld.com encourages the free flow of information and dialog. To that end, we encourage members to treat other members with respect, even though they may be in disagreement. We encourage all participants to keep posts on-topic and civil, within the sometimes irreverent confines of professional pilots. In other words, try to post using a bit of the "Golden Rule".

The Administrators or Moderators of ProPilotWorld.com reserve the right to remove, edit, move or close any post or thread for any reason.  A member found to be in violation of any of our Terms of Service may have their membership terminated.  Due to the nature of our service (electronic dissemination of proprietary information) membership fee refunds are not available, regardless of reason.
