What are we doing?

Pilot training is very expensive and an aircraft cockpit is a difficult environment in which to teach and learn. Our team created a series of training scenarios (missions) using Lockheed-Martin's Prepar3d software to prepare the learner on a personal computer before he/she practices these procedures in an aircraft.

As part of the training, the learner is scored on his/her performance by the proprietary software we developed. The results need to be published to a web site so the flight instructor can evaluate his/her students and monitor their progress. The results need to be sorted out by different criteria: score, alphabetically, by region or country. We also need an interface to adapt the look and feel of the site to various customers (flight schools, tournaments, etc). The site needs to be protected by password and the instructor must be able to manage privileges.
