I have developed a new web-based application for students doing ground school. The current questions are USA-centric, ,based on the FAA "Glider Flying Handbook" and also the FAA test questions, from which the written test is drawn. Demo account follows:

The app tracks your progress, and asks you questions repeatedly until you have mastered them. I'm looking for feedback please. If you want to use the app, let me know and I will create a personal account for you.

I want the app to be available for free. I may accept donations, since it will cost me about USD $50 per month to host it.

Hi Gary,

Looks interesting. goof flash card type trainer. A few comments;

answers are caps sensitive so "14 cfr" is wrong but "14 CFR" is right
I don't understand what the "Mark correct" , "Mark incorrect" buttons are for.
you might want to ask Russel Holtz or others that have written well respected training books for feedback.

Thanks for putting this together. We need more ways to support entry into the spot.

Hi Matt,

Thanks so much for the feedback. I'll fix the case sensitivity.

As for "Mark Correct/Incorrect", sometimes your answer may be so close it should be right, this gives you some control over whether you want that
question to be repeated. I could put some context help on that one.
