Basic guidelines for new pilots

[Martin Loxbo (811805)]

It's nice to see new pilots joining the community and contributing to everyone having a fun and realistic experience online. Sadly, quite a few people I see online fail to follow some basic guidelines on how to behave online, and it can become quite frustrating.

1. Connect to VATSIM while parked at a gate or parking area.
    
2. Know how to communicate with text on the radio frequency and via private message.
    
3. Know how to fly your aircraft. ATC is not your flight instructor.
    
4. Ask ATC to clarify if you don’t understand a clearance or instruction.
