Engineer?

Nick
Much like over here. The same duality existed with railroad engine drivers being called engineers. I thought this unjust until I had the opportunity to browse an early 1900s copy of the Pennsylvania Railroad's Fireman's Apprentice Training Manual. These guys had to know a lot just to shovel coal. There was considerable classical thermodynamics there and math well above the current high school level.

After an excellent landing you can use the airplane again!
