| Q: |
What does PilotMailings do for me? |
| A: |
PilotMailings allows you to specify the exact type of aviation
contacts you are looking for. For instance, perhaps you want to look for
every certified AME who also has a private pilot's license as well as a current
medical, living in the state of Nevada. Or perhaps you want to extract the
address of everyone who owns a 1975 and later Mooney M20, living in the lower 48
states. Performing this kind of search on
PilotMailings is simple, takes seconds, and the result is a fully qualified mailing list
that you can use to mail your marketing materials. |
| Q: |
How do I get the list from PilotMailings? How long does it take? |
| A: |
The mailing list is offered in three ways: Standard web page
(HTML), spreadsheet or mailing list software compatible (CSV), or word processor
formatted mailing labels (RTF). Our files will load directly into Excel and Word.
Searches take seconds, and the results are available for immediate download.
 HTML files
contain all of the information on each entry, in a table format, sorted
into three columns: Name and address, Aircraft/certification information,
and technical information.
CSV files contain all of the available information on each entry in a
row-by-row format.
Our exclusive RTF pre-printed label files contain just the name and
address, including POSTNET barcodes, ready for loading into Microsoft Word
and printing onto Avery 5163 2" x 4" mailing labels, as shown on
the right. PilotMailings ensures duplicate addresses are removed from the
RTF label file, to reduce your mailing costs. |
| Q: |
Can I do mail merges in Word with PilotMailings data? |
| A: |
Absolutely. See our step-by-step instructions on how to accomplish this. |
| Q: |
Are there any restrictions on what I can do with the list? |
| A: |
None whatsoever. Unlike most mailing list providers, we do not
restrict the usage of our lists. Use them as many times as you like. We know
you'll love them so much, you'll be back for updated lists. |
| Q: |
What does it cost? |
| A: |
No complicated tiered pricing here. Our one-price-fits-all pricing still
undercuts the prices charged by conventional mailing list providers. Our
targeted lists are 5¢ per address, and you can purchase as many or as few as
you want, with a minimum purchase of $20. |
| Q: |
What is your privacy policy? |
| A: |
PilotMailings does not store your personal information. Your name,
address and credit card information is used strictly to complete the
purchase transaction, and is then discarded. PilotMailings uses
industry-standard 128-bit SSL encryption to complete your purchase to
ensure the security of your credit card information.
PilotMailings does not store any information about you except for your
email address, which is used solely to transmit emails from us to you
containing forgotten PIN codes, or to send system notices. PilotMailings
does not sell or otherwise give out any information about you to any third
party.

| Q: |
I'm having difficulties doing searches based on ZIP code. |
| A: |
Let's say you were looking for all pilots with an address in zip codes 44144, 44145, 44146 and 44147. First, you would specify those ZIP codes in the ZIP code field. It is important that you leave the "Begins With" button checked. The reason you want to do this is because some of the ZIP codes in the FAA database are ZIP+4 codes (i.e. 44144-2345, instead of just 44144). If you specify 44144 and tell it to do an exact match, then you will not match any ZIP+4 codes beginning with 44144. You would enter it as shown:
