Special Operations Groups


SOGs are dedicated hobby organisations whose aim is to perform Special Operations flights, intending to simulate (recreate) operations of real world state operators (including military operators), aerial work operators, specialised operators, etc. (e.g. air forces, squadrons, SAR units, branches of state operators, aerial work operators, etc.), or to establish equivalent fictitious entities, or combinations of both. SOGs offer their members various tools to perform special operations under their flag; they are team–oriented environments, normally facilitating acquirement of new skills with emphasis on training and mastering their areas of expertise. SOGs frequently organise internal exercises & operations and participate in both divisional and international SO events.

HQ–SOD maintains a system of IVAO SOGs and oversees them.

It is not necessary to register a SOG to perform SO flights in a group on IVAO, however, the official SOGs operate under the chapter 7 of the SO Regulations allowing a wide range of operations and freedoms, some of which are not available to individual users performing SO flights on IVAO alone or in unregistered groups.

IVAO Armada Argentina Virtual special operations group


The Virtual Argentine Navy performs most of the flight operations carried out by real Argentine Navy’s Naval Aviation. Our mission is to bring attack, anti-submarine and exploration capabilities using carrier or land-based airplanes and helicopters, operating from carriers at sea and different coastal bases.

The Naval Aviation School (ESANv) provides basic and advanced instruction and training to the future naval pilots. Pilots have ranks according to their recorded flight hours, missions, and carrier operations. Internal communications include chat groups, web and social networks. Specific Naval Air Operations, Joint and Combined Operations with other Armed Forces, as well as humanitarian missions in case of natural disasters or emergencies are performed regularly. The Armada Argentina Virtual (ARAv) operates mostly the same airplanes as the real Navy does.

IVAO Brazilian Navy Virtual special operations group


Virtual Brazilian Navy was founded on May 15, 2006, where even the following data flew with old members and with a good intention of showing aviation to new members and aspirants as real aviation; flights are simulated on the Flight Simulator X, Xplane11 and Prepar3D platforms on the IVAO network. We are a group dedicated to similar activities of the Brazilian Navy in the virtual environment provided by the IVAO network. We don't have or keep any kind of relationship with the real Brazilian Navy and the main objective of the activities here is respect for serious and responsible entertainment and fun, but without losing the commitment in the simulator or the flight or the next close to reality, with affinity to Military flight (Air Force); It contains real human and theoretical resources, as well as theoretical and practical material for the development of aspirants to simulate flight in our air club. Patriotism, fervor and pleasure in flying are the best. We are the men of the sea, we are the Virtual Brazlian Navy.

With 20 years of flight simulation experience, the Ejército del Aire Virtual ( EdAv), tries to simulate, in high standards, the real ops, missions, and training of the spanish Ejército del Aire.

Pilots and ATCs joining EdAv can enjoy the complete training system, based on the real one, from elemental flying to operational units, fighters and transports. Some navy missions, with the AV8B Harrier II + are also flown.

FSX, P3D and x-plane are supported. MSFS2020 in development.

Always looking forward to joining other SOG in joint operations, the EdAv continues improving and learning every day.

IVAO Fuerza Aerea Espanola Virtual EAV Spanish Air Force EAV special operations group


We are a group of friends, some pilots and others air force enthusiasts, eager to promote such flights and virtual military life. Our main goal here is fun and learning about this field. This SOG simulates the military career of a Spanish military pilot, offering our members the fun of group flying and the possibility to learn to fly militarily under the rules of flight on the IVAO network. We would like in the future to be a reference and constant VA in our division. We have serious and committed people for this project. Another of our purposes is to be able to provide more SO events in the Spanish division and participate in international SO events. Currently we have 702 flight hours always adjusting to the rules of IVAO and we would like them to be many more hours in the future. Our way of operating is almost always in a group, but we also usually fly individually, always respected your trading regulations. We look forward to being part of IVAO international special operations. Best regards
