COVID
Pilots may require the use of face masks during flight.
COVID-19 protocols must be discussed and agreed on before meeting at the airfield.
SkyPool
tm, with planes, like its land based cousin, carpooling
with cars, offers
general aviation pilots around the world, an opportunity to fill empty seats with
cost sharing riders.
There are ample opportunities around the world where someone is flying a general
aviation aircraft plane (exp: Cessna, Beechcraft, Mooney, etc) on a cross-country
trip with one or more empty seats going for want. Why not have someone
come along for the ride and share the cost of the flight.
- Pilots, this is NOT Uber for the skies. Everything starts with the pilot
flying someplace and someone from the general public expressing an interest
in flying along in one of your empty seats and sharing costs. To get started,
register/sign-in, enter a plane mfg/model and file a flight plan to let
potential cost sharing riders know when and where you are planning a flight.
- General Public, this is NOT Uber for the skies. You are NOT looking for/hiring
a pilot to fly you where you want to go. To get started, check current/repeating
flight plans, or setup a Flight Watch Agent, to see if a pilot is flying
some place where you want to go with some idea of their
departure date/time.
Notice: As of today,
Monday, December 9th, 2024,
,
the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) in the United States,
continues to prohibit digital/electronic communications
between pilots and the general public which promote ride sharing. They do allow
hand-written posted notes on
FBO bulletin boards. If you would like to have the FAA reverse their
position and return to allowing digital/electronic postings, then we ask you
to contact your
Representatives and Senators. Meanwhile, US flights will
have some of their information
redacted.
Check
status of legislation.. A more indepth explanation can be found
here via interpretation of the rules by Janice Wood, editor of General Aviation News.
