The quiz is flawed at times, as it produces choices naming the same aircraft, just worded differently.

Eg. F-16 Fighting Falcon and then Lockheed Martin F-16.

Somehow you've gotta work out which is the right one! ;D

I got an 85, however, the system is definitely flawed. Three questions I got wrong were all 767s, with two of the options being "767-300" and "767..." How am I supposed to answer which model of 767 it is when you don't tell me what one of the models is, and if it means 767 in general, then the latter answer is always right.

Also, the one plan I didn't know was given to me... It said on the heading "The Robin D-400 on the photo below is a."

It got me with me a picture of an assembly line.  All there was in the picture was pieces of fuselage, I doubt any body could ID it.

The one thing that got me was then one where it only showed the nose of the aircraft... and ended up to be a 727-200 where as I could have easily confused it for a 737

Nice quizz, but...............

But the scores are meaningless. It is soooooooooooooo easy to cheat that I am surprised that they have not already noticed::) (and no it does not involve searching the photo library)

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Sadly I would have guessed that from the hinge on the cowling, I've spent way too much time looking at that.
