  1. Number and proportion (%) of pilots working in Norwegian helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) who have undergone simulation-based training (question category I6) and assessment (question category I7) of seven (1–7) generic non-technical skills (NTS) in 2011 and 2015. *P-values less than 0.05 from the two-sided Fisher exact test comparing the proportions in 2011 and 2015
