IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ !!!!!!!!!!

The Zone's Code of Conduct and the Fighter Ace CoC will be adhered to at all times. Foul language & personal attacks will not be tolerated. Utmost respect is given to the sysops and other Zone administrators as their work is largely volunteer. Lying or withholding information on the application form is ground for immediate dismissal. While we accept minors, we require their parents permission.

56th Pilots are not mandated to fly with the same country as other 56th members during leisure flying time. Any and all 56th members can and will be fair game flying for different countries.

56th members shall play with sportsmanship. Taunting & Boasting will not be permitted. Hunting other pilots is also prohibited except under tournament conditions. Downing the same pilot intentionally three times in succession is considered "Hunting". Shooting or intentionally colliding with friendlies  (pilots of the same country) is also not allowed.

Pilots that have officially joined the 56th Fighter Group can not and will not BSK in the rookie or Sgt.-Major rooms (BSK is the act by which a pilot engages in the killing of rookies with the purpose of gaining rank or stars) . If convicted of this offense the pilot will be immediately terminated. There will be an exception to rookie pilots that the 56th agrees to acquire and train. In this case the Sysops will be notified in advance of the rookie status of this pilot. Once a rookie pilot is credited with 1 star he must advance to the next level of play.

56th squad members are to take any online disputes out of the arena and either use private chat or Zone Messages to resolve the Issue. Should a dispute with a 56th member incur that cannot be resolved with chat or ZM's please feel free to contact the Group Commander at mr.doglips@gte.net  Equal consideration will be given to all parties involved and disciplinary action will be taken if necessary. 

Hacking of Fighter Ace will absolutely not be tolerated. Tampering in any way with the game or zone files are grounds for immediate dismissal.

All situations/incidents between 56th members (both active and in probation) should be handled by the CO or someone appointed by him. If a member of the Wolfpack witnesses unacceptable behavior he should immediately inform the proper CO or the Group Commander. Under no circumstances should a pilot engage in a discussion with another member of the squadron; this includes posting/replying in the NG, ZM, Chat, e-mail, Roger Wilco and any and all means of communication.

Membership in the 56th is exclusive and we require that our pilots belong only to the 56th and cannot belong to any other squad in FA. If one is interested in joining our fine group of pilots, please fill out the application sheet under the "JOIN THE 56th" tab on our main page. Should a pilot be "conditionally" accepted, he or she will be on probation for a minimum of one month so we may observe said pilots behavior and tactics. If one has been "Invited" to join our squad, the probation period may be waived or lessened. Acceptance into the squad is a decision that will be made by the active pilots of the 56th.

Racial or Sexual comments directed towards any 56th member, player on the zone, or Zone Staff  will be immediately dismissed from the squad

Last but certainly not least-HAVE FUN!!!!! While the competition can be fierce please remember that FA is just a game and that the other pilots pay their $10 a month also. This is a great game and one can easily get out what is put into it. If you uphold all of the above rules and regulations you can develop great friendships and even some great rivals with mutual respect as well. Don't take anything too seriously though.
