You can join our Discord server as a guest here: https://discord.gg/jKsKFYcmUk Once you apply to become a member of IHAS, one of our staff will send you an email with a link to a form we need to screen new applicants. Upon completing this form, you will be given the status of "pilot" in the server which will allow you access to event channels and other important information.
Yes! Up until recently, this has been an optional but reccommended part of the IHAS experience. Now, we have moved entirely onto Discord and it is a requirement to join the sever to participate. It is a place where you are able to communicate and coordinate with staff and other pilots during our events. Our events almost always revolve around teamwork and Discord has been the easiest way for this to happen so far. Our Discord server is also the easiest way to stay up-to-date with any changes/announcements within the VA. You can join the discord server here: https://discord.gg/jKsKFYcmUk
We require a new pilot to fly at least once in their first 14 days. After that, you will be required to fly at least 2 flights every 60 days minimum. If a pilot is unable to meet this requirnment, he/she may request to take a LOA (Leave of Abscence). LOAs will be made available AFTER completing your first flight.
