The Experimental Aircraft Association, in cooperation\nwith CloudAhoy, a leader in bringing technology to post-flight debriefing, is\nreleasing at no charge to EAA members the first proficiency tracker for flying\nskills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The EAA SkillScore Tracker is the first resource that\nallows pilots to measure flying proficiency on an EAA web portal or their\nmobile devices. Working through the CloudAhoy mobile app, pilots can track\nflying consistency and stability. Using this data, the EAA SkillScore Tracker\nwill generate a comprehensive, personalized and confidential SkillScore,\nconfirming a pilot\u2019s overall strengths or need for additional work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe principles behind this feature are very similar to\nthe fitness trackers millions of people use for exercise,\u201d said Rick Larsen,\nEAA\u2019s vice president of communities and member programs. \u201cUsing this app with\nevery flight measures flying skills in several categories to determine where a\npilot stands. These scores are easy to track and establishes a way for pilots\nto be more proficient in the sky.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The proprietary tracking and scoring system was developed\nby EAA in association with flight training community leaders Aleks Udris and\nColin Cutler of Boldmethod, along with Billy Wilburn of Community Aviation and\nKaren Kalishek (CFI and FAA\u2019s 2019 Safety Representative of the Year). Some of\nthe scoring measurements include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00c2\u00b7 Quality\nof flight (stability of landing approach, maintaining altitude in\nstraight-and-level flight and in turns, and quality of FAA-standard maneuvers\nsuch as steep turns)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00c2\u00b7 Number of\ntakeoffs and landings within 90 days<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00c2\u00b7 Number of\nflights with a flight instructor<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00c2\u00b7 Time\nspent in the air<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEvery flight is an opportunity for pilots to improve\ntheir skills, but we can track improvement only if we can measure it,\u201d said\nMike Goulian, Red Bull Air Race champion, air show performer, and flight\ninstructor, who participated in the project\u2019s development. \u201cWhen coupled with\nCloudAhoy\u2019s standard app, EAA SkillScore Tracker is the best way to track your\nprogress, without the time and expense of unnecessary effort, so you can\ncontinually build your abilities with every flight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the EAA SkillScore Tracker is free to all EAA\nmembers, CloudAhoy also offers more in-depth and detailed analysis for premium\naccount holders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More information about the EAA SkillScore Tracker is\navailable at EAA.org\/Proficiency. It is part of EAA Proficiency365TM, where\npilots can develop and refine skills that make them a better, safer pilot. EAA\nProficiency365TM also features IMC Clubs and VMC Clubs for local flying groups,\nEAA Virtual Flight Academy, flight planning tool marketplace, and information\nabout the Pilot Proficiency Center pavilion featured each year at EAA\nAirVenture Oshkosh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
