We are unable to reposition to given holding points, and thus we will appear directly on the runway. The reposition itself will only take a matter of seconds and so there is no expected delay for traffic that may be holding behind us. We would expect blind pilots to be ready for departure as soon as they reposition. | We are unable to reposition to given holding points, and thus we will appear directly on the runway.

+ | We expect that, when on unicom, blind pilots will make a clear call announcing their intention to reposition in around 30 seconds to 1 minute and asking for any other traffic on or approaching the runway to call, in which case they should hold and coordinate. If no other traffic responds, the blind pilot will likely assume the runway is clear, given the code of conduct requirements that pilots both pay attention to, and announce on, unicom. If it transpires that there was indeed traffic on the runway who did not call back in response, we strongly believe the blind pilot is in no way responsible. | ||

Overall, us blind pilots have flown on vatsim for many years, participating in large events such as Cross the Pond, Cross the Land, and everything in between in various continents. Whilst each individual has a differing skill level, we pride ourselves on always giving our best on the network, and the BVI Virtual airline particularly provides support to pilots as they learn on the network. Certainly, having the screen-reader speaking along with ATC can be challenging, | Overall, us blind pilots have flown on vatsim for many years, participating in large events such as Cross the Pond, Cross the Land, and everything in between in various continents.
