What is Virtual Aviation?
To summarize very briefly, Virtual Aviation is the fact that people who have a love and passion for aviation put their love first on the computer
and in the internet world in a broad sense. People, whom we can call virtual aviatior, experience the pleasure of flight on their computers,
which that they can not live under normal conditions, with the flight simulators and / or side programs they install to their computers.

The "love to fly", which is a great passion for most virtual aviators, is inaccessible in their daily lives for certain reasons, and is realized by
computer-aided virtual flights in the "virtual aviation" community they have created by meeting people who share the same love and passion
with them. Of course, it is impossible to restrict virtual aviation only with the definition of "the computer world of flight enthusiasts", there are
virtual "Air Traffic Controllers" or virtual "Engineers" who have undertaken all the necessary design processes within this community. The most

important factor that adds pleasure to the flights on the Internet is the "Virtual ATCs", which are not very many. Due to the "aviation love" on
both sides, the virtual aviation phenomenon is no longer a game but a lifestyle, thanks to its virtual works that are as close to reality as
possible.

People of different age groups sitting at home at the computer can provide radar service to their friends who fly in a very distant place with a
professionalism that is not like the reality of another virtual aviation, while they are flying by complying with the virtual aviation rules, all of
which correspond to the real rules.
The "virtual aviation" hobby (which we call a lifestyle rather than a hobby), which is not limited to our country alone, is being practiced by
hundreds of thousands of people all over the world, and thanks to the emerging formations, virtual aviators merge and find the opportunity to
perform their hobbies together. Although not as much as a licensed pilot, it is very likely that you will think that these people are real pilots
when you witness a virtual pilot who has developed himself with very close knowledge and a virtual traffic controller in the same conditions.

course, come with the unmatched support of licensed pilots and controllers who share the same passion for aviation in this community.
In this context, it will always give us pleasure to offer my gratitude and thanks to pilots and controllers who professionally perform their
aviation passion all over the world. In our country, the virtual aviation community, which is rapidly developing and growing by maintaining its
level, like the examples in the world, has become known and known by the professional aviation community in a short time. This development,
which brings virtual aviators together with professional aviators, is generally positive, and although it has shown partial negative effects at

times, it is inevitable and beneficial like the examples all over the world. In some world countries, real airlines support their formation in the

virtual world, and contribute to the development of virtual aviation, not limited to their own countries.
What isn't Virtual Aviation?
Even if the software used to perform this hobby on the computer is technically a game, virtual aviation is more than a game, the main reason
for this is that virtual aviators do not perform these hobbies only with a game they install on their computers. Virtual aviation cannot be
performed by installing a game on a computer, nor can it be performed only by having knowledge and improving oneself.
Virtual Aviation is not dangerous or prohibited.
The phenomenon of virtual aviation, as we tried to explain before, is the transformation of a "passion" into a hobby, a community where
people grow and live by sharing their love for aviation. Even though its name is "virtual", virtual aviators all over the world meet locally, meet
and make virtual friendships that they have created through their hobbies into reality. Just as a hobby shared by people's love and friendship
cannot be dangerous or banned, it would be a grave mistake to see virtual aviators as dangerous people.
Virtual Aviation is not unnecessary.

and reinforce their passion for aviation by joining the virtual aviation community at a young age will switch to professional aviation if their
opportunities allow. In this context, virtual aviation is "the main school of professional aviation" for the developing new generation, it is a
necessary and supportive factor for the developing aviation sector in our country.
Virtual pilots cannot fly a real plane.

but this is not the case. The phenomenon of virtual aviation gives people theoretical knowledge and gives the chance to perform this in a
simulator environment, but it can never teach the reactions of a real airplane. Piloting is one of the most difficult professions in the world, and
virtual piloting is not difficult at the rate of a thousandth of professional piloting!

aviation professional piloting is. Along with these, an element that should be acknowledged and known is that the knowledge of "virtual
aviation" makes a great contribution to the individual during the transition to professional aviation.

People who want to be interested in virtual aviation and want to practice as a hobby should have a computer that can access the internet or

a computer that they can easily use whenever they want. The second and most basic requirement of this occupation is the concept of "time".
For this reason, the virtual aviation hobby cannot be carried out properly in limited times, and performing it in public places that provide
internet cafe-style paid computer use is both economically harmful and not suitable in terms of the calmness of the environment. As a result
of the widespread use of fixed internet access in our country with services and the decrease in computer prices due to economic reasons

"desire", "research spirit", "desire for self-improvement", "reading habit" can be counted as the requirements of the virtual aviation hobby.
The person who performs this hobby must first be a researcher and love to read - learn and therefore improve himself. Whichever branch is
dealt with, virtual aviation is practiced by constantly reading and applying what it has read and learned. It is not possible to become a virtual
aviator without reading, researching ... In this way, you can only be an actor, which even requires a basic level of attention and reading.
To summarize, the requirements for virtual aviation will be as follows in order of importance;
* Request for knowledge
* Spirit of Research
* Reading habit
* Time
* Knowledge of English
We hope to meet you in virtual skies.....
