Flight planning: how it’s done
One of the most important tasks for success is flight planning. To the untrained eye, it may seem that this exercise consists only of drawing a line between the departure airport and the destination airport, but in reality it is much more complex.
Flight planning consists of creating the flight route taking into account no-fly zones, restrictions, weather, altitude, among many other things.
