As this is a special difficult event for some members we will do our best to assist you to have a successful
flight to/from our islands. However, if you member fail to comply with the instructions in this briefing and
those provided by the online controllers or portuguese staff, you may be forced to divert to another airport
or disconnected from the network.
Maintain discipline:
● Radio Discipline - respect radio discipline, when entering a new channel wait 5 seconds before
transmitting, and never try to communicate while another member is talking.
● Pilot Discipline - follow ATC instructions and do not argue with the controller, unless you have a
valid reason to believe the safety of your flight is at stake.
