Northline Training / The pilot standard
The North Atlantic
standard.
Our signature training series for the flying we do: Iceland, the North Atlantic and a fleet that rewards considered preparation.

Confidence starts
before pushback.
Northline Training is designed for the moment between choosing a route and opening the flight deck. Each guide explains the decisions that matter, the sequence that keeps workload controlled and the point at which a safe plan should change.
These are simulation guides, not a substitute for current charts, aircraft manuals or controller instructions. Use them to structure your preparation, then verify every operational detail for the flight you are actually flying.
Core curriculum
Learn the operation.
Then fly it.
Start with Keflavík and phraseology, or open the briefing that matches the flight ahead.
Home base
Keflavík operations
A practical briefing for operating through BIKF: preparation, ground movement, departures, arrivals and the weather that shapes the hub.
North Atlantic
Oceanic procedures
The structure and discipline behind a North Atlantic crossing: route validation, clearances, communications, position reports and contingencies.
Weather
Cold-weather operations
A northern-operations mindset for contamination, de-icing, aircraft systems, performance and changing runway conditions.
Fleet
Aircraft introductions
A role-first introduction to the Icelandair Virtual fleet and the habits that make transitions between types deliberate.
Communication
VATSIM phraseology
Clear, calm radio technique from clearance to shutdown, with practical Icelandair callsign examples and recovery language.
How to use it
Read.
Brief.
Apply.
Read for the flight
Choose the guide that addresses the operation, weather or aircraft in front of you.
Build the brief
Turn each chapter into aircraft-specific actions using current charts and documentation.
Apply deliberately
Use the checklist before connecting, then protect the decision points once airborne.
Written for flight simulation and VATSIM. Current aeronautical information, aircraft documentation and air traffic control instructions always take precedence.
