VATSIM VA Partner Compliance Export

VATSIM requires Virtual Airline Partners to demonstrate a minimum level of activity. The compliance export produces a privacy-conscious CSV with the minimum data required for verification.

• Covers the last 90 days

• Targets 60 flights from 20 or more different pilots

• Only includes flights made on VATSIM with a filed PIREP

• Validates that pilots were connected to the VATSIM network for at least 50% of flight duration

• CSV contains only: Pilot ID, Callsign, Departure ICAO, Off-Blocks Time, Arrival ICAO, Landing Time

Webhooks

Bookings trigger webhook events if configured:

• booking.created — fired when a pilot makes a new booking

• booking.cancelled — fired when a booking is cancelled (by pilot, staff, or system expiry)
