AC-U-Kwik’s online airports database has seen a 33-percent increase in traffic over the past year. The site provides preflight airport and FBO information to pilots,  schedulers/dispatchers and other aviation professionals. Users of the  AC-U-Kwik Web site can now view Notams for individual airports. A new  comments section  provides what the company calls “a robust community forum for pilots to  report about their experiences at any FBO.” In addition, a new tool on  the site known as the Kwik Bar allows users to go directly to the  weather or Notams section at any ICAO airport; calculate a trip distance  between two ICAO airports; see recently viewed airports; and see  recently viewed FBO information.
