Aviation, like most highly technical fields, is dominated by numbers. The pilot must know the aircraft’s operating speeds, its weights, and the fuel required to reach the destination. The mechanic is concerned with safety tolerances, pressures, torques, and a myriad of other values. The aviation manager is responsible for the budget and should know the costs of maintenance, salaries, training, as well as the metrics of personnel management : the pilots, maintenance and support staff.
