Over the past week, I have corrected or asked the uploader to correct approaching 50 profile errors.
More corrections are likely to have been made by other Admin Team members.
Already today the following are among those corrected……
‘Construcioni Aeronautiche Techna P2010’ instead of ‘Tecnam P-2010’ as the 31 entries existing in the database.
‘British Aircraft Corporation Jet Provost T5A’ instead of ‘BAC 84 Jet Provost T.5A’ as the 125 entries we already have.
To add Corsair to a Cessna 425.
Regular entries with Textron instead Bell, Cessna or Beechcraft. Textron themselves have stated that such names will continue to be both manufactured and marketed under these names.
There are more and of course the above are examples and not aimed at individuals.
Very many upoladers treat profiles with contempt, failing to add any entries below the Construction Number line.
Many add descriptions to the profile remarks when uploading an image contradicting the profile data rather than query the existing profile data. “I’m right and you are wrong?â€
Some regard the FAA Registry data as utterly reliable. For this site’s purposes, this is not always so but it is a reliable guide and plainly suitable for the purposes for which it is created and used by the FAA.
I have the feeling that too many contributors are over eager to upload their images to the site and failing to check for common errors or for descriptions and data already in common usage.
One of the functions for Administration Team members is to correct errors but surely not at the current level and types of upload errors.
I repeat from my previous post entry above that new images rapidly move on from the Recent Aircraft Photos section and therefore enter the database before they can be assessed and any errors will remain uncorrected.
It is disappointing that only two others seem to have any interest in these matters.
