Sounds like more of a Maths problem as said above. In day to day flying advanced maths is not required. Basic ability for mental arithmatic is useful. As long as you know your 3x table for working out a TOD and you can +/- a few miles for wind correction and slowing down you should be alright. 5x ground speed is useful for a rate of descent for a 3 degree approach. Other than that as long as you can do basic a +-x / you will be able to adjust performance figures, cross check load sheets and fuel uplifts without to much trouble. Having said that selection procedures with some airlines require a greater knowlege but nothing that a good brush up on GCSE maths wouldn't resolve.
