Reply to comment by Good-Cardiologist679 in TIL: Airplanes take off and land into the wind. They takeoff into the wind to reduce the groundspeed required to lift and land into it to reduce groundspeed when landing. by Key-Code-4296
I would have to assume the flight planner is in the cockpit with them, to account for changing variables in real time? Also, do they still exist in case like the iPads break or malfunction or something?

No. A flight planner is in a remote location. Theres a pilot and co pilot. Theres 2 tablets and the plane has built in gps, weather radar, navaids etc in it. Anything in the air is up to the pilots flying to make decisions
