Smart PPR Reviews 29

PPR was quick and simple to do, there was no waiting on a telephone line, wondering if someone was there or waiting for the line to become free. Also I could submit my request on a time that suited me.

I was unaware I have even used “smart PPR” so not sure why I’m being asked to review!

PPR is just pointless British red tape invented by people who like to make lists. That’s why it’s not required at airfields in most other countries, particularly US and France. Airfields should be open unless they are NOTAMED closed! No need for any paperwork or advanced requests!
Yes for farm strips that don’t advertise themselves as open then you need to call in advance.

Regarding the reply, there is no regulation requiring PPR. I’m not sure why U.K. airfields need it for planning when other much busier airfields outside the U.K. don’t need it at all. All that says is U.K. airfield operators aren’t very efficient. If a restaurant is full or a long wait, I’ll go somewhere else, similarly if an airfield has full parking I can go somewhere else, you take your chance but with the ability to just drop in anywhere.
Half the airfields who ask for PPR just tell you the runway in use and the QFE! They don’t even take your registration, so don’t know whether you have any PPR or not, of course it doesn’t matter as it’s all pointless. Most of the other half just fill out their form with the registration, type and where you are coming from and do nothing with it. Similarly with the automated ones.
It’s a plague that’s infested the U.K. companies like yours just make it worse because it makes it easier for airfields to collect pointless data, rather than just saying it’s unnecessary and they probably increase landing fees to pay for your service contact.

We've had Smart PPR for a few months now and the support has been outstanding. We have asked for a number of refinements to suit our operational model that have been dealt with very efficiently and expeditiously - often at weekends. Minor glitches have been sorted with similar alacrity. Super service.

Works exactly as it should - an excellent addition to any ATU

SmartPPR is a great idea! This sort of innovation is much needed in our industry, and the way they do it just simplifies the process for all. I hope more airfields adopt this so that it can become the standard way to do PPR.

Quick and simple way to request PPR at airfields that have signed up, get instant updates and request PPR out of hours without having to email or phone beforehand. Bringing the GA world into the 21st century!

A brilliant streamlined and professional tool. A must have for any airfield to create and maintain a PPR system. Very easy to setup and use.

I have started working with these guys to help launch their new product for airfields, I will begin to use this software on the airfield I am operations manager for, but to help them with some decent feedback and exposure I wanted to post an early review. Keep up the great work guys and cannot wait to start using the SimplePPR software. Thanks, Jez
