“FPC” Updates:

At 5 Year Anniversary, FPI Sets a New Standard for Trip Management Software

(October 2025)

Flight Pro International (FPI) has a lot to talk about at the upcoming NBAA-BACE 2025 convention as we raise a celebratory toast to our five year anniversary in Booth #2020 on the afternoon of Tuesday, Oct. 14th.  

Whether or not you’re attending NBAA, we wanted to give our Connections audience a sneak preview of the latest updates we’ll be discussing regarding FlightProConnect.com (“FPC”).

Developed by a team of aviation veterans who know firsthand what flight operators need, FPC was built to “simplify the complex” in a smarter, faster, and more cost effective approach than comparable systems in the marketplace. Two major aspects of FPC have soared to the next level over the last several months regarding Convenience and Security:

1) FPC’s “Trip Planner” Feature: The Ultimate Aggregating Platform

During 2024’s NBAA, FPI announced FPC’s mobile-friendly “Trip Planner” feature, a robust system that allows users to perform a multi-airport query to cross-compare a variety of noteworthy data that impacts the trip experience for crew and passengers, including:

  • Comprehensive search by ICAO, IATA, airport names, city names or by country
  • Preferred FBO and ground handler profiles
  • Airport hours, CIQ hours, and DLS times
  • Airport of Entry, Customs/Immigration processes for domestic and international movements, and CIQ information
  • Current restrictions, landing permits, and PPR (Prior Permission Required) remarks
  • Travel requirements
  • Slot information

In 2025, FPC has taken the airport search engine to even greater heights for client users. Trip Planner has introduced a new layer of tactical and “ease of use” information not commonly found in competitive search subscriptions, such as:

  • User ability to download multiple “Airports Brief” documents as individual PDF files, Zip file packages, or even the option of all files merged into a single PDF complete with a cover page and summary
  • Standardized satellite maps displaying FBO location and all available airport parking locations
  • View of alternate surrounding airports
  • Trip activity of up to two years of historical data
  • A new weather section with METARS, TAF and NOTAMS, including airport NOTAMS (Domestic, International, FDC and Military) with real-time updates

As a reminder, FPI’s experts routinely collate even more pertinent information behind the scenes to round out clients’ trip analysis with premium data not commonly found elsewhere, such as:

… and much more.

“Unlike other systems that leave operators working with outdated information, FPC’s cloud-based platform, backed by the expertise of our global, in-country SSN representatives, delivers a constant stream of refreshed, accurate data, ” states Roberto Cormack, FPI’s Executive VP and CIO.

“This ensures users alway have the right information at the right time, empowering smarter, faster decisions when every moment counts.”

With FPI’s 24/7/365 integrated team operating from FPI’s Houston, TX, headquarters, pilots can breathe easily knowing their existing flight planning data as well as alternate airport reports can be retrieved in a moment’s notice, regardless of their current timezone.

As a reminder, FPC is fully mobile-ready across Android and iOS systems and is free for all FPI clients.

2) FPC’s Cyber Security: Head and Shoulders Above the Rest

Equally as important to FPC’s convenience is the program’s elite level of security:

  • FPC undergoes annual rigorous “Pen Tests” (penetration tests), which is far more frequent and robust than typical platforms of this caliber.
  • FPC has implemented “MFA” (multi-factor authentication), adding another layer of protection for users and their clients, bringing breach risks down to near-zero.
  • FPC has an automatic offline capability window of stored, encrypted trip details with visibility 48 hours backwards and 72 hours forward. This feature not only provides greater privacy when offline is warranted, but it helps to overcome data lag during spotty to no connection situations.
  • With FPC’s developers operating in-house at FPI, the platform can be adapted to meet one-off demands of larger operators with unique or challenging IT security regulations.
  • FPC can and already aligns with various external system-to-system global programs, such as:

“FPI’s size is our strength. Our nimble software development team is structured to pivot on a moment’s notice with customized solutions that larger firms can’t match in speed or flexibility,” continues Cormack.

“Whether our clients’ flight departments consist of one person or 100 operators, we take our clients’ digital data very seriously,” states Matt Pahl, FPI’s President and COO.

“We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach,” Pahl continues. “Every client receives hands-on attention, rapid execution, and tailored precision from a team that thrives on unique challenges. FPI staff from top to bottom stay close to every project and every outcome — That’s the advantage of a team cultivated for responsiveness, not red tape.”
