Hi All, could someone please advise which one in the title we use when flying on-line please?
When I look on ServInfo all three have been used at sometome for the ICAO identifier, do we have a company preference?
Thanks in advance.

Notam # 3 says it should be AFR on IVAO Network. Since there are few different AF Virtual airlines out there, it is common to see different call sings. I personally use AFR as it is our policy.

| If you use AFV you will show up to controllers as Air Florida. Use AFR.

Sometimes the controllers confuse AF with Air Force (even though thats not the USAF's tag). I use AFR because it clears up any of that confusion, it is listed on VATSIM, and AFR is the proper tag.

| This is a really good post. I was woundering about this, since my pilot callsign was AFV140. But I'm going to use AFR140 from now on Thanks guys
