Excuse me sir, when do I collect my octopus?

Common consensus at ground school is that none of us seem to possess enough limbs to carry out the tasks required for flying a plane.  This fact was certainly apparent in our last Navigation class, apparently not only are we required to fly the plane but carry out a series of complicated mathematical calculations , whilst simultaneously completing a table detailing where we are (and probably where we actually should be !)

We came to the conclusion that the only way this was possible was with the addition of at least 3 sets of limbs. So obviously at some point in our training we must be issued with some kind of octopus-like creature.
 I could really use mine soon.
