As you drag, information is displayed that shows the heading, distance, time it will take to reach the point of drag (at the aircrafts current speed) and the surrounding terrain. When you release, options to send the message to the aircraft will be displayed</li>

<p>The minimum aircraft separation that you must maintain at all times is 3nm of each other laterally, or 1000ft vertically. When under active ATC, they will ensure this separation is maintained. In busy airspace it is common to see lots of Amber aircraft symbols - don’t overreact, just keep a good eye on your mini map whilst flying!</p>

<p>When aircraft are tuned into a frequency with a controller, their flight strip will have either a green or amber circle displayed which will indicate to the controller if the pilot is &quot;active&quot; or &quot;away&quot;.</p>
<p>This can be useful when you fly for long distances and aren't at your device for the whole time. After 2 minutes of inactivity (i.e. no input with your device), your aircraft will be shown to controllers as &quot;away&quot;. Provided you are in the cruise, this will let them know that you are unlikely to respond and any conflicts are assumed unintentional!</p>

<p>During critical phases of flight or when entering busy airspace, make sure to remain with your device and follow all ATC instructions!</p>

<section class="reference">
<p>Violations can either be automatically generated (Level 1) or issued by ATC (Level 2 or 3) and are a way to moderate pilot behavior on the <a href="/guide/getting-started-guide/home-user-interface/fly-online#server" class="documentation-content-link">Training and Expert Servers</a>. <strong>Level 1</strong> Violations can be received on both servers, however <strong>Level 2</strong> and <strong>Level 3</strong> Violations can only be issued on the Expert Server. Each server has its own set of rules and minimum <a href="/guide/getting-started-guide/home-user-interface/user-profile#the-grade-table" class="documentation-content-link">grade</a> requirements, but the Expert Server is for serious users only. If the server rules and procedures are not followed, ATC will strictly enforce this and pilots could be issued a Violation.</p>
<p><strong>Level 1</strong> Violations are automatically generated if a pilot violates any one of the following set conditions:</p>
<div class="table-wrapper"><table class="ui table definition unstackable documentation-table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Rule</th>
<th>Conditions for Violation</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Ground Overspeed</td>
<td>Above 35kts GS (ground speed) on ground, excluding runways</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Flight Overspeed</td>
<td>Above 250kts IAS (indicated airspeed) below 10,000ft / exceeding max speed warning (VMO/MMO) - does not apply to military aircraft</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Aerobatics within Airspace</td>
<td>Aerobatics below 5,000ft and within 5 nautical miles of an airport</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Runway Idle</td>
<td>Sitting idle on a runway longer than 60 seconds without ATC clearance</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table></div><dl class="tip">
<dt>
<i class="lightbulb icon big"></i>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>The most common Level 1 Violation received is Flight Overspeed - make sure to slow down below 250kts IAS well before reaching 10,000ft to avoid this. We also recommend not cruising at (or close to) 10,000ft with a speed above 250kts IAS as the altitude can fluctuate with the Autopilot engaged, resulting in a Violation!</p>

<section class="reference">
<p>To ensure that all pilots get an enjoyable experience (and realistic experience in the case of the Expert Server), Violations are recorded and have the following implications on a pilot:</p>
<dl>
<dt>Level 1 Violation</dt>
<dd>If a pilot receives 3 or more Level 1 Violations in one flight, they will automatically be removed from the server and will have to start a flight again</dd>
<dt>Level 2 Violation (Amber)</dt>
<dd>The pilot is disconnected from the server but can continue the flight offline. The pilot may return to the Expert Server immediately by starting a new flight provided the number of Level 2 and 3 Violations remain under the server allowed limits</dd>

<p>A brief summary is usually provided when you receive a Violation, however you can see a more detailed reason <a href="/guide/getting-started-guide/pilot-user-interface/violation-reasons#violation-reasons" class="documentation-content-link">here</a>. If you are still unsure, you can contact the controller on the forum at <a href="https://community.infiniteflight.com/" class="documentation-content-link">community.infiniteflight.com</a> or follow the steps <a href="/guide/getting-started-guide/pilot-user-interface/violations#appealing-a-level-2-or-3-violation" class="documentation-content-link">below</a> to appeal</p>

<p>In addition, Violations are kept on a pilot’s record and therefore, if a pilot continues to receive Violations (<strong>Level 2</strong> and <strong>Level 3</strong> only), Expert Server access will be restricted for longer. Currently, no more than five <strong>Level 2</strong> and/or <strong>Level 3</strong> Violations can be received within a 365 day rolling period for access to the server.</p>

<section class="reference">
<p>The best way to prevent Violations is to:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Familiarize yourself with the Official Tutorials and guides provided at <a href="/guide" class="documentation-content-link">infiniteflight.com</a></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Join our community at <a href="https://community.infiniteflight.com/" class="documentation-content-link">community.infiniteflight.com</a> and ask questions, there are loads of pilots &amp; controllers out there ready to lend a hand</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Once your grade is high enough to join the Expert Server, take it slow, follow all ATC instructions and be courteous to other pilots</p>
