A filed plan sits beside the version loaded into the box. They should be identical, but some rows carry a single altered value: a transposed digit in a track, an off-by-one distance, a neighbouring frequency. Your task is to compare the two tables row by row and flag every row that does not match, before time and fatigue let an error slip through. It trains the disciplined cross-checking that keeps a loaded flight plan honest.

This measures clerical accuracy and cross-checking speed: how reliably you spot the one altered value between two otherwise identical data tables, whether a transposed digit, an off-by-one figure or a neighbouring frequency. It is the verification discipline that catches a mis-loaded route or a wrong readback before it becomes a problem in the air.
Do not try to take in a whole row at once. Compare the two tables one column at a time, top to bottom, so your eye tracks a single value type (all the tracks, then all the distances). A changed digit jumps out far more reliably against a steady column than against a busy row.
In our testing, a strong result is flagging every real mismatch while raising almost no false flags, even on Hard where the change can be a single transposed digit. If you are missing errors, you are scanning too fast; if you are over-flagging, you are trusting a glance instead of reading the value.
