Flight officer
A Flight officer is the person onboard an aircraft responsible for its navigation. The flight officer's responsibilities include planning the journey, advising the pilot while en route, and ensuring that hazards or obstacles are avoided. The position may also be referred to as the navigator. In the United States Air Force, the Navigator Badge is earned by officers so qualified. Depending on the aircraft and job responsibilities, navigators in the Air Force may also be referred to as Weapon systems officer (WSO or "WSOgator"), Electronic Warfare Officer (EWO), or Guy In Back (GIB). In the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, the equivalent position is known as a Naval Flight Officer (NFO).
