Rules and Regulations

Líneas Aéreas Mexicanas, referred to as “LAM”, is a non-profit community formed by virtual airlines and pilots within the IVAO network.

All members must follow official IVAO rules, policies and procedures at all times.

LAM aims to strengthen Mexican virtual aviation through realistic, organized and professional passenger, cargo and simulated logistics operations.

LAM does not provide real aviation, passenger transport, cargo, parcel or logistics services.

Maintain an active IVAO account in good standing.

Have basic IFR knowledge and the ability to operate safely on the network.

Use a flight simulator and connection client compatible with IVAO.

Maintain a respectful attitude towards pilots, ATC, staff and other community members.

Meet any additional requirements established by the allied virtual airline being operated.

Offensive language, harassment, discrimination and toxic behavior are prohibited in community channels and operations.

During network operations, pilots must follow ATC instructions when they are consistent with applicable rules and the pilot’s operational capabilities.

Professional conduct is expected during flights, events, communications and activities represented under LAM or an allied VA.

Failure to comply may result in warnings, restrictions, suspension or removal from the community.

Flights registered as LAM operations must be completed while connected to IVAO unless a published activity expressly permits another format.

Pilots must use the authorized callsign of the relevant allied virtual airline. The currently recognized prefixes are WOS, TEJ, FDX and VIV.

Every LAM flight must include the identifier LAMMX in the remarks of the flight plan filed on IVAO.

A correct flight plan consistent with the route, aircraft, altitude and flight rules must be filed before the operation begins.

The aircraft must be permitted or recommended by the relevant VA and appropriate for the type of operation.

Pilots should maintain realism in routing, fuel, weights, altitudes, procedures and aircraft performance.

Minimum activity requirements will be defined and communicated by LAM or each allied virtual airline.

Extended inactivity may change a pilot’s status or temporarily limit access to recognitions and internal activities.

Pilots may request an approved leave of absence through the channel established by the organization.

Progression may consider flight hours, participation, experience, training and operational compliance.

Official ranks, badges and recognitions will be published by LAM when the corresponding system is enabled.

Access to certain aircraft, routes or activities may depend on rank and the requirements of each VA.

LAM and its allied virtual airlines may organize events, tours, air bridges and special operations.

Participation is encouraged to strengthen activity and collaboration among the VAs.

Events may require greater discipline regarding schedules, slots, routes, communications and published procedures.

When the reporting system is enabled, flights must be submitted through the official method specified by LAM or the relevant VA.

False, duplicated, manipulated or deliberately inaccurate PIREPs and records will be rejected and may result in sanctions.

Reports must reflect information consistent with the completed operation, including callsign, route, aircraft, times and requested data.

Authorized and correctly configured clients, including Altitude where applicable, must be used to connect to IVAO.

The use of aeronautical charts, planning tools such as SimBrief and appropriate aircraft documentation is recommended.

Software or methods intended to fraudulently falsify, alter or automate flight records are prohibited.

Minor violations may result in a warning and guidance to correct the conduct.

Repeated or higher-impact violations may result in temporary suspension of activities or benefits.

Serious violations, fraud, harassment or deliberate harm to the community may result in permanent removal.

The measure applied will consider the severity, recurrence, available evidence and context of the case.

These rules may be updated to reflect operational, technical or community changes.

Material changes will be communicated through the available official channels.

Every member confirms that they understand and accept these rules when registering, participating or operating under LAM.

If a conflict exists, official IVAO rules take priority over any internal community provision.
