FlightPrep Patents Online Flight Planning, Starts Shaking Down Everyone
SkyVector? Handing over a huge percentage of gross. RunwayFinder? Shut down after a $3.2M/mo lawsuit. Who's next? (blog.runwayfinder.com) المزيد...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Never heard of FlightPrep before today when my favorite quick weather site NavMonster said it was shut down. I checked out the FlightPrep site - how amateur! You've got to be kidding me - REALLY? This was the patent - you can patent a pile of crap now?
FlightPrep - you're going to lose this one. Aviators are not the kind of people that take this sort of legal maneuver on the chin and walk away. You're in for a fight - not with the competing vendors, but with the consumers of this kind of product. You WILL lose this fight.
You shouldn't rattle that cage little boy - this dog bites!

I meant Ben Franklin, not Thomas Edison... sorry.

Owning a patant is one thing. Charging for use of the patented object is pure greed. Thomas Edison rarely collected on his patents as he saw them as "for the good of humanity." It's expensive enough to participate in aviation. FlightPrep is trying to make that exponentially worse. If I see them at Sun-N-Fun there will be unkind works spoken... you can count on that.
Why don't we (the people) buy the company and then fire everybody?
Runway finder is now acception donations for their legal fund. I made a nice paypal donation and I am thinking of giving even more money. So if Flightprep is reading this, take notice. Not only will I not buy the crummy Flightprep products but I will give that money to any companies that are fighting Flightprep.
