I got a 'C' in maths 7yrs ago.......I passed ATPL Gen Nav (the most mathematically demanding) with 97%!!!
In flying you make things as easy as you can!! Ie to work out your distance of 15miles and using groundspeed of 135 knots would be difficult in your head.......it would be easier to use 120 knots and then all you do is half the distance then youve got a rough idea!!...Simple!!
One of the main probs is to work out reciprocals on a compass.....I found it hard too when taking or adding 180 from your current hdg....... buit all you have to do is take away 200 and add 20 or add 200 and minus 20!!....simple!!!!
Basically....the maths in the ATPL exams is difficult but you are allowed to use a calculator.......the maths in the plane isnt too difficult as long as you make easy methods for everything!!
I would worry more about how hard it is to pass the flying exams!!
Hope that helps!
