Welcome at the NavFarm!
A large portion of work for the PocketFMS Foundation is maintaining the AeroData, which is the data that describes to PocketFMS where airports are located, which runways they have, what frequencies are used, where airspaces are situated, etc. A program can be very convenient, but without the proper data it becomes utterly useless. Therefore, the AeroData needs to be as up-to-date and error-free as possible.
The PocketFMS AeroData is continuously updated by our dedicated team of selected Airmarshals, and updates (called Intermediate AeroData Cycles) are produced in 2-hour intervals for you to download. Though every effort, both human and technical, is being made to ensure the correctness and completeness of the offered AeroData, omissions are bound to exist - a mere aspect of the human nature. It is said that if you don't produce errors, you're probably producing nothing at all . .

Reporting AeroData omissions & additions.
If you happen to detect one or more inconsistencies in the AeroData that you have received, you can contact the appropriate Airmarshal via the [Contact an Airmarshal] button on the left. You will be able to send a message directly to the person who has the means to make the required corrections. Smaller issues can often be resolved very quickly and it is not uncommon to see your proposed changes reflected in the next Intermediate (2-hourly) AeroData cycle. Larger issues may take longer, but rest assured we very much value your constructive input!
If you feel you can make a serious and ongoing contribution to the quality of the AeroData and you are an accurate & serious pilot with a professional attitude, you're welcome to contact us and see what we can mean to each other. Be careful though: most Airmarshals are really addicted to this job - you could become an addict too!
