Sharpen your math skills for the interview as well as for the cockpit with these great tips for figuring math problems in your head without paper or calculator.
In Mental Math for Pilots in this book you'll learn the tricks of the trade for the areas where pilots have traditionally needed to sharpen their mental math skills: fuel planning, temperature conversions, reciprocal headings, turn radius, crosswind components, time-speed-distance problems, calculating true airspeed, the 60:1 rule, and many others. Rather than asking "What's it doing now?" you will stay ahead of the flight with cockpit tools you can use to assist you in planning the flight. Mental math tools and short cuts allow you to fly and navigate better and more efficiently. And on top of all that, these skills help you perform your best in the airline interview.
