A flight planner, it’s someone’s job to crunch numbers for the pilot, but now pilots use ipads and etc and they have flight planning apps like foreflight that tell you all the info you need.

If the wind is behind you, you would come in to fast and overshoot your landing point.

Jets can take off with less than a mile of runway.

You don’t know anything clearly.

And that the fans inside turn On at different speeds. Saves fuel.

No. A flight planner is in a remote location. Theres a pilot and co pilot. Theres 2 tablets and the plane has built in gps, weather radar, navaids etc in it. Anything in the air is up to the pilots flying to make decisions
