How is GIS used in Aviation?

Hi, I have an interview in two weeks for a GIS Technician postion for an aviation department. While I’m very comfortable with my skills in GIS, I don’t know much about how Aviation Departments use GIS- I’m assuming for noise control, mapping airport location and building, and such. Does anyone have any idea what the daily operations would be like, what type of projects would a GIS Tech do in this field, and what skills are AViation departments looking for in a GIS tech?

Thanks

What does minimums mean while landing in commercial aircraft?

I know its not just commercial aircraft, but I watched some videos on youtube and before the aircraft lands the radar altimeter(?) says ex. “300….approaching minimums….200…..minimums….100…etc..” and I tried to research the answer but got a lot of different answers from people who I think were just guessing, albeit trying to sound professional. If theres a REAL ( i cant stress REAL enough) pilot out there whos certified and knows what this means it would help me a lot as I am confused. Thanks for your time
