7. Flight Operations

7.1 General

All flights must be conducted in accordance with:

  • BlueLake SOP
  • Realistic airline procedures
  • Approved aircraft and routes

Unrealistic behavior or deviations from procedures may result in penalties or rejected flights.

Callsign & Flight Number Usage

BlueLake distinguishes between internal and operational identifiers:

  • The Airline ID (e.g. BLAxxxx) is used internally only
  • The published flight number is the only valid operational identifier

The flight number must be used as:

  • ATC callsign
  • FMC callsign entry

Example:

  • Flight number: BLA1234
  • ATC Callsign: BLUELAKE 1234

Additionally, the callsign entry “BLUELAKE” mustmust be included in the flight plan (CS field)
to ensure correct identification by ATC.

Correct usage is mandatory for all online operations.

7.2 Route Usage

Flights must be conducted exclusively on:

  • Available scheduled routes

BlueLake Airways does not operate:

  • Charter flights
  • Tour systems

This ensures a structured and realistic network.

7.3 Aircraft Usage & Livery Policy

  • Only approved aircraft may be used
  • Correct type rating is required
  • Aircraft selection must be operationally realistic

Additionally:

  • Flights must be conducted exclusively with official BlueLake Airways liveries
  • The correct aircraft type, variant, and registration must be used
  • No deviations are permitted

This includes:

  • No alternative airline liveries
  • No incorrect registrations
  • No mismatched aircraft variants

This strict policy ensures:

  • A consistent airline appearance
  • High realism standards
  • Accurate fleet representation

Violation of this rule will result in flight rejection.
