About Our Crawler

Flight Deck Reports Bot

If you’re visiting this page, chances are our crawler has visited your website or network.   Please know that Flight Deck Reports provides a free service that anyone can use.

Flight Deck Reports’s bot is non-abusive because we do not make visits to any other page on your website – only your homepage and typically we visit a site’s homepage only a handful of times per month.  Furthermore, we do not scrape or cache your code or content.

Why We Visit Your

Flight Deck Reports visits your homepage in order to identify and/or aggregate data about the use of technology across the Internet. Our users include students, educators, business professionals, research analysts and marketing professionals.

Please note: We visit your robots.txt file frequently to seek permission but not with every visit.  We cache our robots.txt results. Please allow up to 7 days for removal.
