Terms and Policies
Revised September 2018
MultiCrew is a not-for-profit, community-driven, recreational flight simulation organisation. We specialise in shared cockpit services by providing: unofficial support, means to organise and coordinate shared cockpit and group flights, flight simulator training and online network “type ratings”, and more.
MultiCrew is not a provider of real-world flight instruction or examinations and nothing which you find on our website should ever be used for the purposes of flying a real aircraft in the real world; doing so is both unsafe and unlawful.
At MultiCrew, we have both a personal and legal obligation to protect our users’ privacy and ensure we are clear and transparent about what data we collect, how we use this data and how we keep it safe. Whilst the collection and storage of limited personal information is necessary, it is kept securely and to a minimum.

Code of Conduct
Users must be respectful to all other users and, in particular, respect the staff members at MultiCrew.
Upon registration for a MultiCrew Portal account, users must provide accurate and truthful information, including a real and verified email address.
Users may only register one MultiCrew Portal account per person.
Users should not use any of the MultiCrew social media or messaging services to offend, discriminate against or defame other users.
Users should respect local and international laws at all times whilst using MultiCrew services.
Users utilizing online networks in conjunction with MultiCrew services should respect the rules and regulations of both MultiCrew and the respective network simultaneously.
Conflict Resolution
As a community-based organisation, MultiCrew prides itself on maintaining a positive and constructive community base. However, not all users will respect that policy, and as such matters which we will refer to as "conflicts" may arise. The following policy outlines what we define as a "conflict", and how these situations are resolved.
Conflicts
Conflict exists in all over the world and, in its best form, can be an indicator of a positive exchange of ideas and opinions. However, particularly on the Internet, conflict often becomes counter-productive and can result in user dissatisfaction, poor services and, overall, a reduction in the quality of the community environment.
At MultiCrew, we believe a "conflict" to be a breach any of the policies laid out on this page.
Resolution
Conflicts will always be resolved by the senior members of staff with an oversight of the organisation in its entirety, with a view to maintaining a positive community environment. Staff will utilise a number of tools to resolve conflicts, detailed below.
Warnings
The first method employed will be a warning. This will be communicated to the user by the most convenient method possible: either by email, Discord DM or other appropriate communication protocol. A warning will be used in the event of an accidental or non-malicious breach of terms. A warning will not have any direct implications; it is simply a reminder to the user that they may have breached the terms.
Bans
Following a repeated or severe breach of the terms, it may be necessary to ban a user from the MultiCrew community. Bans vary in length, from 1 day to indefinite. In the event of a ban, a user will no longer have access to web services or the Discord server.
Disputes
In the event of a ban being employed to resolve a conflict, users are permitted to dispute the ban provided that the duration of the ban is greater than 1 day.
In order to dispute the ban, users will have to contact the community administrators and provide substantial evidence to support their dispute and prove that they have good reason to have their ban lifted.
Disputes for bans of less than 1 day, or without substantial supporting evidence, will be ignored!
