Corrected entry: During the final battle, some Na'vi warriors shoot bows through the cockpit windows of several helicopters, killing the pilots. The same arrows also bounce clean off Colonel Quaritch's fighter in the earlier battle.

Correction: In the mountain battle, they are much closer to the airships, increasing the chance of a direct hit.

Corrected entry: During the big bombing of the tree, Michelle Rodriguez refuses to take part and steers the helicopter away, stating that she does not want to be part of that. Even in the distant future, such behaviour would be called insubordination and have her court-martialed. However, she is still able to free Jake and has access to the helicopters in the hangar.
Correction: They are employees of a private company and would not be court martialed. They all work for RDA.
Court-Martial or Suspension with possible Firing, she is still disobeying orders of some sort, in a combat situation (there are security companies powerful enough to constitute private armies, with similar rules, regs and discipline), and would therefore be punished in some form all the same.
Who says she was not punished? Maybe she got reprimanded.

Corrected entry: After switching sides, Jake and his crew escape into an area with heavy magnetic distortions so that they can not be detected. This area is also safe from cruise missiles due to the interferences. However, Jake has no problems using the portal to get into his Avatar.

Corrected entry: In the final battle, the human soldiers are about to drop a bomb on the Tree of Souls, when their ship is taken down by Jake. The ship crashes and explodes along with the bomb. However, the Tree of Souls remains untouched by the explosion as if the ship crashed miles away.

Correction: There are key differences between the Hometree battle and the battle in the mountains to take into consideration. In the first fight, the arrows are hitting the glass at a rather poor angle and only bounce off the glass or simply chip it as a result. However, the arrows shot at the glass in the mountain battle are at a much more optimal angle of almost 90% and allows for much more force to be transferred to the glass. Finally, the Ikran riders are diving at likely close to terminal velocity when they shoot their bows, unlike the archers from the first fight who are stationary; a key difference in the velocity of the arrows.
