FltPlan's 2014 Pilots' Choice Awards Voting Starts February 1, 2014

SOUTHBURY, Conn. - Jan. 15, 2014 - PRLog -- FltPlan announced that pilot voting starts February 1 for its 2014 Pilots' Choice Awards that recognizes their favorite United States FBOs,  top U.S. FBOs by region, small and large FBO chains, Canadian, Caribbean and Mexican FBOs, ATC Center, ATC Tower, and customs & border protection.

         The 2014 Pilots' Choice Awards survey is open to the group of over 140,000 active pilots on FltPlan representing over 65 percent of all business aviation.

         "The Pilots' Choice Awards is a pilot survey not a reader survey," said Ken Wilson, president of FltPlan.com, 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 fifth 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 its account receives 10 ballots.

         In 2011 FltPlan added two new awards, Star FBO and 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 (www.fltplan.com), now in its 14th year on the web,  is the largest flight-planning service in North America.          FltPlan.com supports pilots with services ranging from flight plan filing, FBO/airport information, flight tracking, certified eAPIS submissions, SMS (IS-BAO and ACSF), runway analysis, weight and balance, eLogbook program, Mexican/Caribbean/Central America handling, Mexican and Cuban overflight services, pre-departure clearances, FAA-approved certified weather, and participation in the FAA's CDM program.
