VFR Cruising Levels From 3000ft – FL195, VFR aircraft are allocated cruising levels separated by 1000ft, following the East/West semi-circular rule plus 500FT (i.e., Eastbound VFR flights fly at odd thousands of ft + 500FT, and Westbound VFR flights fly at ev...

In Iceland, plans are required for all VFR flights entering controlled airspace (which includes aircraft departing/arriving controlled aerodromes), as well as all VFR flights at night. VFR flight plans on VATSIM are filed using VATSIM’s standard ICAO-format f...
