This is a basic requirement, whether we are flying an Ultra-Light Aircraft, or on the flight deck of a modern Jumbo Jet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring flight we continuously recalculate and estimate to confirm the accuracy of our pre-flight planning and calculations, or to fine tune them. For these re-calculations we often don't have another pilot, an FMS or even a calculator on hand to assist. Our heads and hands may be so busy that we just don't have the time for complex calculations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn these situations rules of thumb, simple formulae and approximations are extremely helpful. A quick mental calculation or estimation will free us up for more pressing duties, thereby greatly improving overall safety.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gerhard Grohmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47042575171824,"sku":"9783950142617","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783950142617_p0.jpg?v=1763707707","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783950142617","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
