UofG Equality and Diversity vs Pilot Math

The Equality and Diversity (E&D) in the Life Sciences app has been designed as a learning and teaching resource to raise awareness of issues in academic environments and beyond. This course was designed to make our Life Sciences curriculum at the University of Glasgow more inclusive and empowering for students, allowing them to break down any potential barriers they may come across in their career. The resource has been built around the 9 protected characteristics embedded in the Equality Act, 2010, namely Age, Disability, Gender Reassignment, Marriage and Civil Partnership, Pregnancy and Maternity, Race, Religion and Belief, Sex. The main aim is to equip students with the necessary knowledge about E&D related issues by supporting the development of critical consciousness and thinking in students, by sharing good practice and encouraging a mindset change about E&D. This app includes various problem-based learning case studies, focusing on the different protected characteristics in the Equality Act, 2010, and varying Life Science career paths. The case studies (termed Bio) are linked to Intended learning Outcomes (ILOs), with complementary tasks and resources, allowing students to explore different topics of interest. There are role model interviews that compliments these case studies and are inspirational in their nature.

Master the aviation calculations every pilot needs — without a calculator. Rules of Thumb trains you to perform real cockpit mental math quickly and accurately. Six game types cover the calculations student pilots and professionals use every day: Conversions — speeds, weights, fuel units, distances Crosswind — crosswind component from angle and wind speed Drift Correction — DCA using speed factor method True Airspeed — TAS correction for altitude Distance & Altitude — descent planning, ROD calculations Pressure Altitude — PA, ISA deviation, density altitude Four difficulty levels take you from learning with hints to typing your answer under time pressure with tight tolerances — just like a real checkride. Master Plus mode and Master Plus Challenge are available with a subscription (€5.99/month or €34.99/year). Master Plus Challenge delivers questions via notifications over 10 hours, simulating real in-flight decision pressure. Free tier includes: Learning mode (20 min/day), Training mode (10 questions/day) and Master mode (5 questions/day). 30 badges reward speed, accuracy, streaks, daily consistency and challenge completion. Whether you're a student pilot preparing for your PPL, working toward your CPL, or a qualified pilot keeping sharp — Rules of Thumb gives you the mental tools to fly with confidence.
