FltPlan's 2015 Pilots' Choice Awards Voting Begins

SOUTHBURY, Conn. - Feb. 6, 2015 - PRLog -- Voting for FltPlan’s 2015 Pilot’s Choice Awards has begun. The survey, which is open to over 150,000 active, registered pilots on FltPlan, recognizes pilots’ favorite United States, Canadian, Caribbean and Mexican FBOs. In addition, the Pilots’ Choice Awards recognizes ATC Centers, ATC Towers, Customs & Border Protection, and FBO chains.

Each year FltPlan pilots cast thousands of votes and choose their favorites. Voting for the 2015 Pilots’ Choice Awards will take place between February 1, 2015 and March 31, 2015.

"The Pilots' Choice Awards is a pilot survey not a reader survey," said Sarah Wilson, vice president of FltPlan, the internet-based source of flight planning tools.  "As a pilot survey, it is the most accurate way to judge FBOs because pilots are the people who walk in and use the FBO.  No other survey can make that claim."

         Now in its sixth year, the Pilots' Choice Awards recognizes fixed base operators that provide arrival and departure services for private and business aircraft at more than 5,000 U.S. airports.   FltPlan allocates one ballot per pilot per user account.  For example, a FltPlan user that has 10 pilots in their account receives 10 ballots.

         Four years ago FltPlan added two new awards, the Star FBO and the ACE FBO.  The Star category was created by using airport arrival data to generate a ranking that takes into account the traffic at an airport and the amount of competition on the field.  The ACE FBO award recognizes the FBOs who received the most votes at airports with fewer arrivals allowing some of the smaller FBOs to receive accolades for great service as well.

         FltPlan, now in its 15^th year, offers free services on their website as well as the free FltPlan Go app for iPad and Android.  In addition to flight plan filing, FltPlan offers FBO/Airport Information, Flight Tracking, certified eAPIS submissions, SMS (IS-BAO and ACSF), Runway Analysis, Weight & Balance, eLogbook, Mexican/Caribbean/Central America handling, Mexican and Cuban overflight services, pre-departure clearances, and FAA-approved certified weather.
