That said, we do have a bit of competition and reward in store for you!

Practicalities
Before you get started conquering the globe, make sure to take a moment to read through the fine print for World Tour 3! 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 25 legs making it in 66 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 pilots and all ranks 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 WT3 in the schedule. It happened last times too. In this situation, disregard the procedures listed by us (AFKLM) and follow all ATC instructions.

[10] Can I submit as many pictures to the photo competition as I like?
No. A maximum of 10 pictures are allowed per pilot, so be keen on which ones to pick for your entry!
