Online Flying
California Airlines utilizes the VATSIM online network to fly with other pilots and ATC, using the CAX, or Cal Air callsign. To be allowed to use the CAX callsign, there is a certification process that pilots must go through. First the pilot is trained by an online mentor on the very basics of flying. They are taught principles of VFR including the traffic pattern, radio navigation, transitioning through airspace, and others.
