Bug description:
I have uncovered a few minor issues in the World Hub documentation. These are so small that they do not warrant their own bug reports alone. I have other documentation bugs that I will open up under separate cover.

Note: Most of these also have corresponding text in the regular SDK documentation. I have put links to those in the rightmost column. The World Hub documentation is mostly a copy and paste from the regular documentation (as it should be), so fixing it in the regular documentation is important, in case the documentation ever needs to be rebuilt.

Before you start, it’s important to ensure that you have as much information as possible about the airport(s) you want to work on.	The word “work” is misspelled, but additionally, the word “which” should be “that” because it belongs to a restrictive clause. Most native speakers get this wrong, too, so I’m not going to look for all cases of this, but this one popped out to me because of the spelling mistake. The word “that” is used correctly in the next sentence, so I propose removing “which” altogether.

3	4	AirNave.com	AirNav.com	The website is AirNav.com, not AirNave.com, so there is a bug there. But as a feature request, I want to ask that you remove that website and replace it with the FAA’s tools: Chart supplements, Airport diagrams (note that this is for larger airports only), and Airport Data and Information Portal. American student pilots are taught to use official sources whenever possible.

Additionally, we have another “which” that should be “that”. (Again, I’m not going through all “which vs that” grammar issues in this doc, but it’s part of the same sentence as the missing word.)
