Yes, it's true that Google Airplane will be free! Here's how we plan to make that possible.
First of all, there will be a heads-up display to show you in-flight ads that are chosen for their relevancy to you, as a pilot.
Secondly, information about all of your flights, destinations, and pax will be uploaded in real-time and shared with Google's "partners," who may contact you on guard frequency (during the flight) or on your cell phone (while on the ground) to provide you with useful information about their products and services.
In addition, your airplane will also be equipped with a mobile hotspot and an earth-facing camera, which may be used to enhance Google's data mining and privacy invasion geo-location and mapping services. From time to time, Google may temporarily take control of your aircraft as needed to gather more information about something on the ground that we find interesting and potentially profitable help you avoid inflight hazards.
To further enhance Google's revenues your flying experience, Google may take control of your aircraft on the ground to seamlessly direct you to FBOs that were the highest bidders in Google's new "AirWords" service our users have ranked most highly. This "FBO Redirection" service is entirely free to you as a Google Airplane user.
Of course, as PIC, you will always be able to override FBO redirection. Just log into you Google account, verify your identity by entering a PIN number that we will text to your cell phone, answer a brief survey about why you don't like Google's recommended FBO, and confirm your decision three times on three separate screens. Please note that for security reasons, you will only be able to override FBO Redirection from your home computer.
