I used to work at a flight training place, for maths purposes the earth is flat in many calculations. The reason being is that in one exact moment of time u are essentially in a column of air calculated like the earth is flat.
No. The math ur applying is lift weight balance etc. Navigation is a different subject and yes you calculate curvature. Its possible to do a triangle with 2 90 degree turns on the globe

Yeah so you never calculate for curvature, and they tell you to do the math assuming a flat Earth.
