Project Solution.

Ascedia developed the Pilot Passport mobile app check-in game to engage both life-long members as well as a new audience.
Pilots can add photos, provide a ratings, leave a comment, and share posts on social media.
A radius driven search by city, state, airport name, or airport identifier pulls up airports. Airports can be filtered all the way down to individual airport amenities.
For each check-in and goal, Pilots earn points toward badges that are displayed on their profiles for a little friendly competition.
