Ticket Validator allows event coordinators to validate tickets created using the Ticket Generator web application. Each generated ticket is equipped with a secure single-use QR Code. A QR Code is a 2D barcode that can be identified and decoded using a smartphone application. Using the Ticket Validator mobile app, event administrators and coordinators can scan the QR Code on the ticket and validate its authenticity i.e. check if the ticket is valid, invalid, or duplicate. Event administrators and coordinators will have timed access to validate tickets. Using the mobile app's quick QR Code scanning feature, event guests can be authorised quickly at the point of entry. If the administrator/coordinators are unable to scan the QR Code, it is also possible to validate tickets by entering the serial codes printed on the tickets. Please note that this mobile application is not for general use. This application is valid only for administrators of the Ticket Generator web application and invited event coordinators. To use this app, get started by creating tickets at Ticket Generator web application for your event or request an existing Ticket Generator administrator to send an event coordinator invite.

For all pilots — students, flight instructors, recreational, and Rusty pilots — PocketPath has you covered. PocketPath is an iPhone-based pilot’s guide to airport communications, offering access to all U.S. airports by name, city, or ID. Basic flight and ground services are included, along with FAA airport diagrams and airspace data. All information is automatically updated using current FAA data and is stored locally on the device, so it’s accessible without Wi-Fi or cellular service — ideal for use at any altitude or location. 24-hour current FAA weather is available, and airport services including Fixed Base Operators (FBOs) are listed, with optional voice call support. PocketPath also offers a 911 Emergency Services link using local phone service, available anywhere in the continental U.S. and its territories (requires an active carrier with 4G or 5G service). PocketPath is intended as a "Pilot’s Aid" and is not FAA certified — it should not be used for the primary control of an aircraft.
