The places
What this is not. Scenario-based decision practice, in the spirit of the FAA's aeronautical decision-making material, but not FAA-approved training, not training credit, not instruction, and not a measure of anyone's proficiency. There is no leaderboard and no community score. Your answers and notes stay in this browser.
02 / THE CALLS
Four decisions, in order.
Each stage reveals more, then asks one question. Lock a call in and its rubric feedback opens at once; the next stage opens with it. The free-text why is optional and stays on this device.
03 / THE DEBRIEF · Educational
Rubric points:
A number from a published rubric, not a grade of you as a pilot. Read it next to the rationale for each call, and disagree in writing where you do.

Inspect the scoring in full.
Nothing is hidden: the four criteria, the arithmetic check, and how every choice of every decision scores, with the reason. If a rationale is wrong, say so with the disagree control after that call.

Sources and provenance
Sources & provenance 11 entries · one fictional scenario
Fictional: the airports, the weather, the forecasts, the pilot report and the timeline. Scenario values: the groundspeed, endurance, reserve and minimums, chosen so the arithmetic can be shown; none is a Baron figure. Sourced: the Baron facts this site already publishes, and the reasoning about pressure, forecasts, pressurization, icing and fuel, with locators below.

ABOUT CAPTAIN’S CALL
Educational. One fictional scenario with frozen data and a published rubric, built from facts this site already publishes and the FAA's own decision-making handbook. It rewards defensible reasoning and named uncertainty; it is not FAA-approved training, training credit or a measure of proficiency, and it keeps every answer in your browser.
