3. Pick a crew and click "Join". This will take you to the password page. Enter the password and you're done!
If you don't know the password you'll have to ask the Crew Pilot for it.

The Earport is where users can work together in a virtual classroom.
Here users can join a Crew to work in a Flight. Crew members can communicate with each other using private messages, and they can see the flight score of other crew members.
NOTE: The Earport is still under contruction, and features may pop up faster than this FAQ can record, so be sure to check it out!

A melodic interval is played with the notes in sequence, while in harmonic intervals the two notes are played simultaneously.

Every Sunday at midnight GMT the weekly hiscore lists closes and the weekly TopUsers list is generated. The users on this list are given Earlympic points based on the WRC (Rally) model, where 1st gets 10 points, 2nd gets 8, 3rd gets 6, 4th gets 5, and then stepwise down to 8th which gets 1 point.
These points will stay with you forever, so that you can compete to become the User of the Month, User of the Year, and you can earn your place in the Earplane Hall of Fame which contains the Alltime Top Users.

The weekly hiscore is the sum of the test results you have gotten this week. The list is erased at midnight GMT (London time) every Sunday. You'll still have your alltime hiscores, but the list of top users tht is generated on Sunday night is used as the basis for Earlympic points.
The Hiscores page with the weekly hiscores shows username and date, which means that teachers can ask students to print out this page as a homework assignment to document what's been done this week.
