Customer Guide to Wireless Access Back  Forward    Print this topic

12/08/10 Archive Note: While the option discussed in this document is still available from some MyFBO systems, the option is no longer updated as it only applies to older cell phones / PDAs. Before attempting WAP access, please read Mobile Edition, which applies to most SmartPhones / PDAs.


The MyFBO.com Online Scheduling System includes the ability for customers to view their reservations and other data through web-enabled cellular phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs) using the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP).

As with your regular web access, a user ID and password are required to access the wireless web.  The MyFBO.com wireless web will recognize the same password that you regularly use.  However, in order to minimize typing on your limited cellular phone keyboard, your e-mail address is not used as your user ID.

Please update your personal information through your regular web access to include a "short login" for wireless access.  This should be between four and six characters and must be unique among all customers at your FBO, flight school, or flying club.  If the short login you select is already taken, you will be prompted to select another.  


Accessing MyFBO.com Wireless and Logging In

If your FBO or club has not provided a direct address, enter http://myfbo.com/wap/ as the wireless address in your cell phone interface or the WAP browser in your PDA.  This will allow you to select your region of the country and then your FBO or club as explained below.

 
On reaching MyFBO.com wireless web site, you will first be asked to select a region of the country.  Displaying regions minimizes the number of "clicks" that will be needed to find your FBO, flight school, or flying club.  Highlight the region you want using the up and down buttons.  Then pick the region where your FBO, school, or club is located be pressing the button under the word "Select."

The display on your wireless device may look quite different, as there is no standard.  However, the functionality should be the same.

 
Upon selecting a region, you will immediately see a list of MyFBO.com subscribers in the selected area.  Again, using the up and down buttons, highlight your FBO, flight school, or flying club and press the "Select" button.  Note that some names may be below the bottom of the screen, but can be reached by using the down button on your phone or PDA.  After selecting your FBO, you will be asked to log in.
 
Log in using the "short login" code (explained above) as your ID, and your usual password.  
 With a successful login, you will see a menu with three options:
  • Reservations -- when selected, shows a list of dates and times for upcoming reservations.  
     
  • FBO/School -- shows address and telephone information for your FBO, flight school, or flying club.
     
  • Staff -- shows the personal contact information for each staff member.

 
 
When "Reservations" are selected on the menu above, you will be presented with a list of your reserved dates and times.  Select one reservation on the list to view additional details.
 
Here are the details of your reservation. If you wish to view another reservation, select "Back" to return to the previous menu.
