RetreadRand said:Well one of the issues they had when I went through primary is that TIMS was counting people's warmup flights that caused HUGE problems
The other problem they had was instead of counting the grades from the first portion of an incomplete flight TIMS was counting the LOWEST of the grades So if you rocked T/O departure etc on the first flight and MIFFED it on your completion flight then the MIF would stand
So based on those two things your NSS could be several points lower than it should...BECAUSE of TIMS.....(or at least the adaptation of it)
Those are two problems that came up when TIMS (not TMS2, that's one of the old systems) was implemented in Corpus. Yes, those mistakes did impact a student's score. No, the impact was not HUGE.
When you look at how many total graded maneuvers you get over the course of Primary, you will see that the addition of warmup grades and using lower incomplete grades will move your final score by a very small margin. The odds that this small margin change would move your ranking in the selectors for your selection week is very small. The worst thing that could be said is it might move a student from a 50.1 NSS (eligible for jets) to a 49.9 NSS (not eligible for jets).
That doesn't make the error right, but let's keep this in perspective.
