Left the building! Well, actually, no I haven't, I live here, but yes, Elvis it is.
A pilots license requires very little in the way of mathematical ability. Yes, you've got to draw lines and numbers on a piece of paper which is supposed to tell you how long it's going to take you to get where you're going, what direction you've got to point in if the wind is not perfectly in front or behind you, how to compensate for the lies the compass tells and how not to crash into the ground when landing at a different airfield to the one you took off at (or landing at the same one with different pressure settings). Once you've obtained your ticket though you're allowed to forget all that and learn how to fly.
Are you allowed to make mistakes if it's a 5 day collection?
Yup, 37 I am. The number of question marks implies disbelief - is it my youthful, yet ruggedly handsome good looks and energetically buoyant personality that leads you to believe I'm actually 21? I get that a lot.
