How Pilot Operations works in SkillScorer
Score
Each crew member in a base is scored on the Pilot Operations skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank crew members, compare two side by side, or compare your bases against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Pilot Operations skills need attention. Reports also follow each senior crew member's base.

Every crew member is scored from 1 to 10 on each skill (1 = Poor, 5 = Average, 10 = Elite), one base and year at a time. Scores autosave in the Skills Matrix, and the 18 built-in reports turn them into rankings, radar charts, skill gaps and year-on-year trends.
