43 NSS needed to get into Primary

In the T-45 you have to turn the HUD on seperately, so maybe it works in a similar manner. All of the TS syllabus flights prior to Fams (ie BI, RI sims) specify that you not use the HUD (since you will be in the back cockpit in the jet for them). I can't remember if we were allowed to use them for early stage airnavs, but the bottom line is that it was kind of a big deal when you get to start using it.
Early stage ANs we were still in the back of the plane, so no HUD.
If you're part of YG10, you're part of the "problem" and the standards will still be high.
I think we need a completely separate board for NSS discussions, because this just gets repeated over and over again.. and it's getting boring. NSS is a MOVING SCALE, and by the way, you have no idea how to calculate it. Stop worrying about that crap and just work your ass off and learn the shit. Talking about the "minimum NSS" to pass makes eveyrone sound like they want to do the bare minimum.. period. Not the right attitude to walk into flight school with. Besides, worrying about it is only going to make you lose sleep, not get better.
Actually in this specific case he is correct. That is very similar to the NSS formula they used to make the cuts in '05. In this case the minimum NSS to continue will require them to do well above the minimum level of work normally required for API.
Agreed that worrying won't help at all. They all just have to do their best and things will work out how they work out.
I always want to know the bare minimum for the PRT scores but it's not like I'm going to stop.
Not trying to squash the validity of "the formula", but you can't plug a number into the formula until you get the score for the test you just took, and if you bombed the test, then the formula didn't really help in the first place. Maybe I'm treating this as a pet peeve.. It's not like I didn't worry about it when I went through or that I don't take a peek at the mins every time I am being evlauated.
I've just seen a lot of briefs and flights go down the tubes because the stud was nervous about things that were out of their control. Your whole career is going to feel high-threat up until you're a level III in the fleet anyway!
My whole beef isn't with NSS..it's with that you don't know how you are doing compared to other students...if I'm getting 4's and 5's in the early stages of Primary, are the others doing the same when MIF is low? I know I know the whole "just do your best it will all work out" spiel, but is average really average? Is above average actually average? etc etc...
Your summary sheets now have block NSS on them. That's roughly how you stack up against your peers, in that block.
