SocialFlight.com has added a new feature to its website and mobile app, Expert-Led Online Community Forums. The forums are available from the user’s menu and the event map on the website and are in the 5.1 release of the free app for iOS and Android devices. Topics include aircraft ownership, operation & maintenance, pilot training, safety & technique, headsets, cameras & pilot products, and travel, clubs, rentals & community.
Pilots and other users can view any topic and post their own advice and replies. Meanwhile, GA companies including Jeppesen, Piper Aircraft, Lightspeed, Bose, CamGuard, Aspen Avionics and FreeFlight Systems are on the forum to answer questions posted on the forum. Also, the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism is included in forums on recreational travel. The forum allows users to connect with individuals and groups via their profiles and Hangar chat links. SocialFlight’s Jeff Simon told AVweb this week additional forum experts will show up soon, such as airshow pilots for an upcoming aerobatics section. SocialFlight.com, which has added more interactive aspects to its find-places-to-fly app, has more than 50,000 registered users, according to Simon.
