Simulated flight competitions offer aviation students an excellent opportunity to practice cross-country flying skills in a controlled environment. However, scoring these competitions fairly and accurately can be challenging. Traditional methods typically focus on raw metrics, such as time en route or fuel consumption, but these metrics alone do not provide a balanced assessment of pilot performance. This post outlines a scoring method that uses normalization to combine key p
