Hey everyone, I'm a university student looking for pilots to interview. You see, my team and I are designing software to help reduce the time needed for pilots to acquire and process pre-flight info and we're trying to get as much feedback as possible during our design process. Any and all interviews would be a huge help! Interviews would only last 30 minutes tops.
 
Only 30 minutes? Hate to be that guy but with the plethora of flight planning websites and apps out there, my gut feeling is not many pilots will feel the need to dedicate that amount of time to such a product.

But to facilitate your efforts, you might want to include the following information about you and your team. What school are you going to? What are the majors of you and your teammates? Are any of you pilots? It might help others to decide if you or your project is worth their time.
 
Something else to consider. An interview of a few guys on the internet will potentially get you some ideas to research further. But, keep in mind, interviewing pilots will be like doctors. Your gratuity should reflect the value of their time. If not, your sample group will reflect the people willing to work for free.
 
No disrespect intended, but once I was a student in my younger days. After being in business 50 years I can say that most students are dumb. No life experience with a bunch of teachers who have never had a real job.

So you think that you can compete with Foreflight, now owned by the Boeing Co.

But lets look on the positive side, It is great that you are contemplating doing something besides playing video games.

I have been flying for over fifty years, I consider Foreflight to be one of the greatest and most cost effective additions to aviation and safety. I am not looking for a new app or software to replace Foreflight.

However, there are some apps that I wish existed, I have been talking to fellow pilots about an app that I would like to develop, all agree that it is needed. I am too dumb and busy to take on such and undertaking, but am willing to share my ideas with the right people.

Send me your resume or CV and I may be willing to share information.

I can do it in under a min or two right now. Unless you can download it to my brain, I don’t see the real advantage. Are we in the Matrix?
 
Maybe post one question at a time and let the thread roll....:rolleyes:

Actually, that would be extremely helpful.

Don't be discouraged, Luke. This board is generally brutal to the students who periodically drop in because they are working on a school project. I'm not completely sure why, but be assured it's nothing personal.

The IPad that is running most the ForeFlight subscriptions was invented by some guys who were told no one could beat the biggest selling software company.
 
Design a Machine Learning algorithm that takes all the Notams and figures out which ones are important, based on the time of day, weather, flight rules, recent flights, airport familiarity, which ones have been reviewed already and what's changed since then, etc. etc.

For instance, I don't need several Notams that tell me that my radar altimeter might not work. Or about every tower light bulb burned out within a hundred miles. Or that flying uncooperatively in the FRZ will lead to possible use of lethal force.
 
It seems that some have misinterpreted the initial "30 minute" comment. Maybe it was me.

I don't believe the OP was saying they want to develop a pre-flight process that takes less than 30 minutes. He was saying that he will limit his information-gathering interview with you to 30 minutes.
Ok, I'll go get that 2nd cup of coffee now.

Or something about effing Afghanistan when I am making a local flight around Detroit...

I second this one - there's some great 'low hanging fruit' in this area.

Maybe a second area would be to replace the cryptic 'TAF' weather codeing (apparently a remnant of the days when it was all sent by hand by telegraph - and this coming from a ham who DOES use Morse on-the-air).

I'll do it. Give me a date and time. I'll logon and be right here and we can get it done.

Obviously it depends on the mission, but there are a lot of variables that should be carefully evaluated before each flight and, in the interest of safety, they shouldn't be rushed. Foreflight is the gold standard IMO.

I'd be happy to discuss. PM me.

The problem with “fixing the cryptic TAF/Metar” system is that if you start using them every day you will likely find you prefer the cryptic system as it is much faster to skim over and look for gotchas rather than reading pages of text. Most apps are pretty good about decoding them but many don’t do a very good job of converting or displaying the Zulu to local time conversion which makes them challenging to read for the casual pilot.

The lawyers would love going after them after someone has to make a diversion for weather and hit that tower with the burned out bulb.

They have fixed the Notam system. No longer is it for Airmen…..it’s notices for air missions. instead.that’s solved the biggest problem with it. Just ask any pilot! They are thrilled with the change.

Would that "biggest selling software company" be Microsoft? I didn't know they had an EFB app for a tablet in 2007. o_O

I have World Clock Widget on my Android phone. It concurrently displays local and Zulu time.
I have "DS Clock" on my laptop and keep a small digital Zulu time in the lower left corner of my screen.
 
Ok, lots of complaining (about a valid problem with the NOTAMs) but few solutions being offered. Most of them have specific geographical coordinates associated with them. Wouldn't a visual map of NOTAMs be more helpful where you could see, say a 50 mile corridor of your route, all the NOTMAs as colored depictions (Orange for lights out, Purple for Runway closures, etc.) then you could see what was important, and ignore what wasn't, but then if you were in the soup and had to divert, you could quickly and easily see what issues might be in your general vicinity. Seems like that would be WAY more helpful than the text based format we are offered now. We already have something similar for weather (Green, blue, red, Purple), so I would imagine the same concept could be similarly applied to NOTAMs.

I ALSO PREFER THAT NOTAMS REMAIN TOTALLY UPPERCASE WITHOUT BREAKS BETWEEN PARAGRAPHS, LOTS OF BOILER PLATE TEXT, AND RNDM ABBVS THAT MAKE THEM EASIER TO READ. ALSO THERE IS A 10500 CHR LMT IN POA SO I CAN'T RLY POST MCH OF THE AREA BRIEF FOR KONZ.

I am flying from Reno, Nevada to Stead today. It a 10-mile flight. I will be very careful to avoid the area along the Kenya-Somalia border because of the threat of rebel activity especially below FL260.

Sorry you have to listen to all the know-it-all jerks on here. Most pilots will go out of their way to help. Most pilots are decent people. The tools on here seem to have self esteem issues so they feel the need to diminish others.

Looks like Karen finally spoke up.
 
One of my amusements back in the day while waiting for a flight at an airport was to watch the dot matrix printer spew out a gazillion NOTAM pages for the FO to collect and “review”.

Cheers

Exactly, just learn the language.
 
Come on guys. This gentleman came here and nicely asked if he could talk to some actual pilots and you started complaining to him about the notam system. Let him try to solve the problem he’s hoping to solve by gathering the information he needs first. The human centered design approach can actually be really useful.

Good luck, Luke.

Great project. Contact me via email if you want to talk.
I realize you may not be looking to take down Garmin or Foreflight. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try. Everything started off like a joke - Bill Gates against IBM, Jeff Bezos against Walmart, Steve Wozniak against Microsoft, etc... It is a long list. Even foreflight was founded in a garage. Don't listen to the nay sayers. There is one guranteed way to fail, that is by not trying.
