Why we need your e-mail address ?
When you
sign-up with AEPS, one of the things we ask you for is your correct
Internet e-mail address. We need this for several reasons. When you first
enroll, our server automatically sends a welcome letter to you via email
to make sure that you are who you say you are. You must reply to this
email confirmation within one week. Another reason we need your e-mail
address is so that we can send you AviationCareer.net and Job
Alerts, our e-mail newsletter that brings you capsule summaries of
late-breaking aviation news, new additions to AEPS/AviationNet,
and other time-critical information of interest to aviation industry.
Our job alert notifies you any time your enrollment form is searched on.
Employer will use email to contact you concerning employment.

13.
How do I enter My e-mail Address?
The email
address we need is your correct Internet mail address. This always contains
an at-sign ("@") in the middle and usually looks something like
"yourname@organization.xxx".
- America
Online: If you get your mail on AOL, your e-mail address looks
like "membername@aol.com".
If your AOL member name contains embedded spaces, they should be omitted
from your e-mail address.
- Prodigy:
Prodigy is similar except it's "userid@prodigy.com". Many
prodigy user IDs look like "XYZ123A", so the e-mail address
would be "XYZ123A@prodigy.com".
- CompuServe:
If you use CompuServe mail, your e-mail address looks like "71234.5678@compuserve.com"
or "102345.6789@compuserve.com".
Note that the part to the left of the @ is your CompuServe PPN but
with the comma replaced by a period (very important!).

14.
WWW Browser Requirements?
To access
AEPS/AviationNet you need forms-capable web browser software. Numerous
features of AEPS/AviationNet use fill-in forms...the enrollment procedure,
the threaded messaging system, database access, on-line shopping, and
so forth. Also, because access to AEPS/AviationNet is password-protected,
you need a browser that supports authentication. Nowadays, most browsers
support both forms and authentication. But if you're still using an old
one that doesn't, you'll have to update it before you can register and
access AEPS/AviationNet.
The two major browsers are:
Netscape
and
Microsoft
Internet Explorer
Other
widely-used browsers that are suitable include NCSA Mosaic, Spyglass Mosaic,
CompuServe/Spry's AIR Mosaic, Netcom's NetCruiser, and the web browsers
built into the America Online and Prodigy on-line services. If your browser
isn't listed here, it may well still work okay. But if it doesn't support
forms or authentication, you'll need to get one that does.

When submitting form get unknown security error ?
Every
time I try to submit information on a form I get an error such as "security
library has data base error-will be enabled to connect securely"
You may need to update your browser to a newer version (see ques #17 above)
if you are still having problems you may need to use unsecured forms.
There is a link at the bottom of each form to an unsecure version. To
use this scroll down to bottom of form you are having problem submitting
and click on the link "unsecure version".
Q. How safe is unsecured version ?
A. It is still safe for non sensitive data such as credit card info, AEPS
offers secure version by default as we want you to feel as comfortable
as possible about your information. However there are a few instances
where browsers can be incompatible with secure forms. If you do not feel
secure about using an unsecured from please contact us at aeps@aeps.com.
