Filing Flight Plan
Why does it feel like the world of general aviation is behind the times online. Maybe it's just in my area. But as I search for schools, instructors, or clubs, all I find are websites with outdated information, or little to no information. Broken links. Clubs list the email address of instructors who are no longer instructing, no longer with the club, or even have passed away. One local club, that appears to be very much active, last updated their website in 2013. An FBO company near me lists flight instruction as one of their services offered, but the instructors email address listed bounces, and a quick google of the instructor would indicate he left the company in 2012.
Aviation seems like such a technology driven field, but private aviation seems very behind the times. Is it because private pilots tend to be an older generation and aren't web savvy? Is it because schools don't have the money to stay current?
I'm not complaining or bemoaning the industry, it's just an observation I had, and I was genuinely surprised by it.
