My Job
Use math and physics
Knowing how to do basic Math is very handy. In the air, I have to be able to divide things by three and multiply them by two for some exercises. We also have to know some Physics to understand how the aircraft flies, so we study the Theory of Flight in ground school.
For flight planning, we have flight computers and plotters that do the more complex calculations for us and give us the information we need.
