Revised 6 March 2011
IVAO™ Rules and Regulations

communications.

At the discretion of the controller, communications by text may be more efficient depending upon work load, language skills, or typing ability.
7.2 - Only approved voice software is permitted for voice communications.

As an example, Netherline VA = NHL_CC, Topic = http://www.netherline.nl, Description = (VA may include a short description here).
7.6 - ATC Services shall use their ICAO identifier of their airspace and position for their call sign as the voice channel and own connection, e.g. EBBR_APP or KDFW_TWR. The use of a frequency, e.g. 112.80 or 113.10, as a TeamSpeak voice channel for ATC Services, is prohibited.
