VATSIM MITRE/CAASD Member Survey
« on: March 01, 2009, 07:51:13 AM »
Please spread the word about this...post on your own forums...VATSIM is looking for strong response to this.

The MITRE Corporation is evaluating VATSIM as a candidate environment for prototyping and evaluating new aviation concepts, tools and procedures. As a VATSIM user, your VATSIM and real-world aviation experiences are important demographics which we'd like to use to help us interpret results and inform the design of new experiments. The results of such studies may be used in subsequent professional publications and presentations.

This demographics survey should take no more than 10 minutes to complete, and should not require soul-searching, introspection, or heady in-depth analyses. For respondents outside the United States, please know that MITRE is very much interested in the wealth of international talent available on VATSIM. While we have not yet engaged that segment of the community, we do recognize its equivalent potential for research purposes and encourage your participation.

This survey will remain active for at least one month, beginning January 16, 2009. You will be required to use your numeric VATSIM ID (and a non-VATSIM password) to begin the survey. Once completed, you may use that identity to update your survey as you feel compelled.

By completing this survey, you are consenting to the use of your data by MITRE for research purposes; if you do not wish to give consent then do not complete this survey. Please know that your candid responses will be held in the strictest confidence and your data will never be used externally except in aggregate, anonymous form and will always be protected by MITRE. If you complete the questionnaire but later decide that you'd prefer not to be included, please contact us and we will drop your data without question.

Please go to http://www.mitrecaasd.org/vatsim/ if you'd like to participate.

Thanks for your continued interest.
