The Rotorcraft Network is a vetted professional network — not an open social platform. Every application is reviewed by our team to ensure the network remains a trusted resource for those who work in, support, or build businesses around the rotorcraft and vertical flight industry. This page explains who qualifies and what may cause an application to be declined.

We review every application personally. Here is what may prevent approval.
✕ No Aviation Industry Connection
If your profile does not reflect a professional connection to the aviation or aerospace industry, your application may not be approved. Simply tell us who you are and what you do — we just need to see the connection.
✕ Incomplete Profile Information
Applications with missing or vague profile information — such as no job title, company, or industry role — may not be approved. A complete profile helps us understand your place in the industry.
✕ Generic or Unclear Information
If your profile doesn’t give us enough to understand your aviation connection, we may reach out for clarification or decline the application. The more clearly you describe your role, the smoother the process.
✕ Misrepresentation of Information
Applications found to contain intentionally false or misleading information may be permanently declined.
💬 Declined and think it was a mistake?
We understand that not every professional role fits neatly into a category, and we occasionally get it wrong. If you believe your application was declined in error, or if you’d like to provide additional context about your industry role, please reach out to us at Contact Us. We’re happy to take a second look.
If you work in the vertical flight industry, we’d love to have you. Registration takes just a few minutes.
