The main task of the navigator is to guide the plane strictly along a certain route, to find and accurately hit a given target.

The solution to this problem begins on the ground, when the navigator, together with the pilot, plots and calculates a route, draws up a flight plan, makes the necessary preliminary calculations, checks the on-board equipment of the aircraft, entering initial data into it, controls the readiness and suspension of various aviation weapons. In flight, the navigator determines the position of the aircraft and the parameters of its movement with the help of numerous equipment, the principle of operation and use of which he must know perfectly. Based on the actual data, the navigator refines the preliminary calculations and makes the specification of the flight mode. Only educated and physically hardened people can manage modern military military complexes, be an air fighter.
