Rules will be enforced.
1] Do I need to alter the pre-designated FPLs for each route?
As the flight plans are made in Simbrief, we all know that these are not always accurate. So, once you have spawned and checked the flight plan, you might want or need to make small adjustments to it.
Refer to IF Procedures FPL to ensure you are flying the correct SIDs and STARs along your trip.
[2] What happens if I encounter weather circumstances that may cause my flight to go longer or shorter than expected?
No problem at all, over 36 legs making it in 108 hours is the goal for meeting the Accuracy objective as stated above.

[6] Q. I was on final approach to my destination and my app crashed. Can I still log the flight?
Unfortunately, no. Given the nature of the event and the competition we cannot accept any flights that have not been fully completed. A valid flight will involve traveling from gate-to-gate.
[7] What Pilot ranks can participate in the World Tour?
All ranks as of Rank 1 can participate in AFKLM events including the World Tour. AFKLM Trainees enrolled in the AKFLM Academy can also participate if they have completed CF1 training. As a reminder, once the CF1 training flight has been completed pilots have seven days to complete the CF training process in its entirety.
[8] ATC is present at my destination airport. Should I follow AFKLM listed procedures or ATC recommended?
Yes, it is a possible coincidence that ATC may have featured destinations of WT5 in the schedule. It happened last times too. In this situation, disregard the procedures listed by us (AFKLM) and follow all ATC instructions.

[9] Can I fly as fast as I want?
In one word, no. Remember, the World Tour is not intended to be a race across the globe. While we do reward you for being the quickest, we do not endorse flying faster than the recommended airspeed per aircraft. If you have any doubts, consult the Aircraft Performances Airtable. Any pilot spotted flying faster than the standard airspeed will be disqualified from the World Tour.
