How this works

Thank you for helping. This takes about a minute to read.

What you are doing

Each screen shows one real training flight and one NOTAM that was active while it flew. You tell us how much that notice should have mattered to that flight. That is the whole job.

The same notice can matter a lot to one flight and not at all to another, so judge each screen on its own.

Reading a screen

The map. the flight path (the dot is where it started), and the area the notice covers. The scale bar in the corner shows distance in nautical miles.
The big sentence is the notice in plain English.
The details say how close the flight came, what the aircraft was doing then, its altitude, and how long the notice was active.
"Show the notice as it was published" opens the original text, in case you want to check our reading of it.

Picking a grade

`1` Critical	The crew needed this. Not knowing it could have changed what they did.
`2` Worth knowing	Genuinely useful, but would not have changed the flight.
`3` Background	Applies technically, but a crew would reasonably not act on it.
`4` Not relevant	No bearing on this flight at all.

There are no wrong answers. We want your judgment, not a guess at ours.

Why, in a few words is optional, but very helpful. Short notes like "right on the downwind leg" or "wrong side of the field" are perfect. Type it before you pick the grade.

Moving around

Press 1 to 4 (or click a grade) to answer and move to the next one.
← and →, or Back and Skip, move without answering.
Go back and pick a different grade any time. The new one replaces the old one.

Saving and coming back

Every answer saves the moment you give it. You do not need to do anything.

Save progress double-checks: it tells you how many of your answers the site has.
Stop whenever you like. Next time, the site remembers you and picks up where you left off.
On a different computer or browser, click "I have a code" and type the code you were given (it looks like sam-4f7a).
If the top of the page shows someone else's name, click "Not you?".

How many to do

As many as you can. Everyone sees the same pairs in the same order, so even a part-finished set is useful. Doing them all is wonderful, but never expected.
