Engine fire and correct procedure on VATSIM?

Featured Replies

I was just wondering what the correct procedure would be for me if I had an engine fire when flying online on VATSIM. Is it even allowed? What I'm looking for is what I should announce to the controller - is it PAN PAN PAN and then vectors to the nearest airport that can accomedate my aircraft type?

http://vatsim.net/library/codeofconduct.htmlPilots are permitted to declare in-flight emergencies. If, for any reason, air traffic control requests the pilot to terminate the emergency, then the pilot must do so IMMEDIATELY or log off of VATSIM. Pilots are not permitted to simulate, in any manner, an unlawful act while logged onto the VATSIM.net network including, but not limited to, declaring a hijack by statement utilizing either voice or text or by entering a transponder code of 7500.
