If the applicant meets these requirements, the admission process begins. Grupoava Virtual is a virtual airline with very high standards, so the admission process is very rigorous.

Admission process

1. APPLICATION FOR ADMISSIONThe airline's Application for Admission is completed. It must be reviewed and approved by the Operations Department to proceed to the next step. Only fully completed applications will be responded to. Likewise, the airline will study and only respond to applications from individuals who are deemed to meet the airline's objectives and who will contribute to its growth and development.

BASIC SUBJECTS COURSE: If the application is approved, the applicant will receive an email confirmation of application receipt. The applicant will enroll in the Basic Subjects course at the Virtual Operations School. The applicant will have access to basic material and required references, as well as the exams that constitute the course. The course consists of topics, each with its corresponding exam. The first topic is Basic Subjects, and the second topic is Controlled Flight Knowledge. If the applicant holds a rank of FS3 or higher for IVAO and/or P1 or higher for Vatsim, the highest grade will be recognized for the Controlled Flight Knowledge exam. The exam percentages will be 70%and 30% respectively. The course will be considered passed if the applicant has a total grade higher than 75%.    

3. SELECTION COMMITTEE ACCEPTANCEOnce all admission process steps are completed, the applicant's admission will be submitted to the Selection Committee for approval. If any discussion arises, the applicant will undergo a Final Interview to clarify any potential doubts. The committee will then meet and approve or deny the applicant's admission.

4. COMPLETION: Once the process is completed, the applicant will receive an email from the Operations Department accepting them as an Apprentice Pilot and they may begin the aircraft course. The Apprentice Pilot will need to satisfactorily pass the exams and route checks. Upon completion of this process, the pilot will be confirmed and will officially be part of the Grupoava Virtual crew list.

The Route Check consists of the crew member completing 6 flight legs between the following destinations: BOG, BAQ, CTG, MDE, CLO. Each leg will be evaluated in our flight reporting system, which monitors certain parameters during the flight. Upon completion of the leg, the trainee will await its review and flight confirmation for validation. After completing all legs, the Pilot Trainee will be promoted to an active crew member on the aircraft of their choice.

The pilot will have a 15-day trial period starting from the first effective flight during which any staff member will reserve the right to follow up with random questions regarding the Operations Manual.
