Why It’s Essential

• Pilots perform real-time calculations for fuel planning, weight & balance, speed, and descent.
• Quick mental math ensures accurate time-distance estimates, fuel endurance, and wind corrections under pressure.
• Airlines test numerical reasoning for decision-making accuracy.

How to Prepare

• Practice mental math daily (addition, subtraction, division, percentages, ratios) using online tools and apps.
• Focus on aviation-specific math (speed-time-distance, fuel burn, climb/descent rates).

✈️ Strong numerical skills ensure precision, quick decision-making, and flight safety—making them essential for all pilots.
