Hi Eric. Under our old rules this flight would of been rejected due to accumulation of AFK. I would ask that you keep an eye on your AFK as out of the 7 checks you had, you only clicked two of them within a few minutes. This would suggest that you spent a large portion of time away from the flight. We allow 30 minutes away from the flight deck, like Vatsim, but infrequently not often. Therefore please ensure you can commit your time before flying a long haul. Thanks, Ryan

Comments noted with correction, 3 not 2 AKFs were acknowledged within secs, 2304, 0005 and 0218, Total time out of cockpit 32mins, max delay was 11 mins, 2 at 8 mins and 1 at 5mins, Please may I suggest if I have broken the present rules, reject the flight. I can include my PMDG 747 Cockpit response file as I was beta testing at the time. Kind rgds Eric

Hi Eric. To begin with my comment was a polite request to keep on eye on your AFK on future long haul flights, I made it clear that you haven't broken any rules. In regards to the AFK accepting times this is the data- AFK 1: 19:42/19:50 - 8 Minutes. AFK 2: 20:50/20:55 - 5 Minutes. AFK 3: 21:55/22:03 - 8 Minutes. AFK 4: 23:04/23:04 - 0 Minutes. AFK 5: 00:05/00:05 - 0 Minutes. AFK 6: 01:06/01:17 - 11 Minutes. AFK 7: 02:18/02:18 - 0 Minutes. Meaning 3 out 7 AFK's were acknowledged straight away, leaving 4 not. The point still is, a polite request, that you keep an eye on the AFK check while flying a long haul flight in the future. Thanks Ryan
