Airline Pilots use flat plane projection maps to plan flight paths because these maps provide "straight line" paths that appear curved on a globe, but in fact are the shortest distances between two distant points on the planet. Mercator Projections cannot be used as it is a false representation of the actual sizes of landmasses the further from the equator you go (The maps where Greenland looks almost as big as South America).
