Hi,
I started PPL training back in April this year, with the aim of having 1-2 lessons a month. I have about 7 hours logged now. As I'm only 14, I still have a bit to go in school, but I'd like a rough idea of how much basic knowledge you need for the PPL theory tests i.e what kind of maths stuff do you need? e.t.c
Also, looking further ahead (A long way away, I know) at ATPL stuff, do you need really good levels of maths and physics understanding? At school, I'm doing my maths exams a year early, however I'm unsure as to the outcome. Would I still be in good light if I get a 2/B?
As I've been reading, the job situation doesn't look good at the minute, however I can't fly for an airline for at LEAST another 7 years (as is my understanding). Is the market likely to improve whilst I'm training?
Alot of questions I know, but your help is much appreciated.
