Thank you for your interest in becoming a pilot with DC-3 Airways! Please thoroughly read
the information below, then click the
green button to apply.
1) Before you can enjoy all of the goodies described above, and without
exception, within TWO MONTHS of enlisting as a member of DCA, you must
complete what are termed the "DC-3 Type Rating Flights". The flights
themselves can easily be flown within four hours, so it isn't
unreasonable to expect that they be flown and reported within two months
of enlistment. Please don't be alarmed at being asked to fly the Type
Rating Flights, but our own experience has taught us that a pilot
possessing the essential knowledge gained from partaking in these
flights will then have the experience to greater enjoy all that DC-3
Airways offers. The flights are simply a series of six very easy flights
designed to ease you gently into the ways of DC-3 Airways, such as how
to fly and handle the DC-3 correctly in a variety of situations, and
equally importantly, how to correctly submit a flight report (You want
to get paid, don't you?). When the Type Rating Flights have been flown
and correctly reported you will then continue as an established member
of DC-3 Airways.
2) When the Type Rating Flights have been successfully completed and
reported, you, as a newly established member of DC-3 Airway pilots will
receive the following privileges:-
a) Approval to fly any of the flights or sessions that DC-3 Airways has to offer, including Free
Flight.
b) 10 bonus hours to be added to your total hours (you must email the President
to advise you have completed your TR flights).
c) Immediate promotion to 2nd Officer.
3) All flights you make when flying with DC-3 Airways for which you
intend to claim flight credit MUST ONLY be made in any derivative of the
Douglas DC-2, Douglas DC-3, and the Douglas DC-4. Of course we cannot
check which aircraft you use. You are simply asked to abide by the
policies set forth in the Operations Manual.
4) We are very strict with personal behaviour in our very popular
forum. English is the common language and must be used at all times.
There must be no foul language. There must be no "Flaming".
5) Finally, a rarely invoked measure, the senior staff reserves the
right to remove anyone from membership of DC-3 Airways whose behaviour
is considered detrimental to other airline members and to the good name
of DC-3 Airways.
The following button will open your default email program and start an email for you. Please include your first and last name,
your previous pilot number if you're a returning pilot, and your home (city, state, country or home airfield). Also include any
information you feel may be pertinent, such as hobbies, interests, maybe even staff positions desired.
Important: Your registration information will be sent to you from a DC-3 Airways
email address similar to name@dc3airways.net, so please ensure your email server
won't block or delete emails from that address.
Applications are dealt with manually and is usually processed on the day it was received, but as
suggested above, ours is a manual system and people have holidays etc. Please be patient with us.
If by chance you do not receive a reply within two days, please contact one of us again using the
email addresses from your sent application. We will contact you as soon as possible.
While waiting for the joining process to be completed you don't have to
wait to begin your career with DC-3 Airways; you can download the DC-3
Type rating package for either FSX, P3D, or X-Plane and commence flying the DC-3
Type Rating Flights immediately. Just remember to make a note of the
flights you have flown, and the flight details, such as the flight
number and duration of the flight in minutes. When your approval is
received and you have the necessary login details, you can then submit
your Pilot Reports (PIREPs) in the accepted format.
