FBO Reviews

Post by gtmize »

fltplan.com has them.. sparsely populated

AOPA has one ... sparsely populated

Since I use Foreflight extensively it'd be nice if they had FBO reviews
Foreflight has a comment tab but its general to the airport
most of the comments here are related to Notam's not specific to a FBO
Foreflight should consider adding a FBO comment / rating option

When flying somewhere new, a good website to check is AirNav: https://www.airnav.com/airports/

Along with airport info it links to FBO reviews. An example for Atlantic Aviation at KFMN (Farmington, NM): https://www.airnav.com/airport/KFMN/ATLANTIC#c
Current: DA42-V1

I thought when you click into an actual FBO on FF the "comments" are specific to that FBO. For my home field that seems to be the case as the exact people who work there are mentioned by name, and there are several different FVBO's on the field.

Gary, just looked at this again. You need to click into the actual FBO and then the comments. Seems you are looking at the comments for the field overall. Hope this helps!

AirNav has an app, too, although the last time I tried it was years ago and it was terrible. I wish they would sell out to ForeFlight and we could get both the website updated and the data downloaded for use in the plane inside ForeFlight.
