Updated Policy Manual
UPDATED POLICY MANUAL
The Executive Staff has updated and revised the Virtual Northwest Policy Manual. We would like for all the Pilots and Staff to download and read the updated Policy manual and respond that you have done so.
The Policy Manual is located in the Pilot Center under the "Downloads" section at the bottom of the page. This is a requirement for all active vNWA Pilots and Staff.
Please email me at mst_64@comcast.net that you have accomplished this request. There is a lot of information to stay compliant as well as our operation as a whole
There are some exciting changes ahead for vNWA so stay tuned for announcements in the near future that we believe will grow the VA again.

Join KORF
The big runway is taking a well-deserved nap, and it’s time for the little one to shine!

Heavy Pilots Beware — Big jets may need to divert to Newport news (KPHF) if they can’t make the landing work!
