Business Aviation on the Web
The Internet has long shed its image as a technology plaything; in fact, it has become an ingrained, and indispensable, part of many people’s daily lives.

The Internet has long shed its image as a technology plaything; in fact, it has become an ingrained, and indispensable, part of many people’s daily lives. From e-mail to news on demand to instant messaging to any kind of research, the information highway is the world’s largest library and communications system–available at your fingertips and on your schedule.

And with hundreds of business aviation Web sites, people working in this segment of the aviation industry are increasingly relying on the Internet to help them do their jobs. In fact, just take a look around any FBO crew lounge and you’ll find many business aviation pilots pecking at their WiFi-connected laptops. Increasingly, pilots are even surfing the Web via handheld devices, from personal digital assistants (PDAs) to Blackberries to cellphones to new PDA/cellphone hybrids, such as the Palm Treo 700.
