I did not say you don't need an understanding of Maths and Physics, I said that you don't need A-levels in the subjects to get through the ATPL ground school. Basic arithmatic, algebra and trigonomtry is all that is required.
For the record, I did A-Levels in Maths and Physics, went to a very nice Uni and studied Mech Eng. And at no point in my ATPL's did I find any of it any use. I will state again, it's the volume of knowledge that is the crippling factor, not the content.
Looking back now, I think it would be nice to make a degree out of the ATPL subjects. Then you could go into much more depth with some of the subjects, especially with repsect to Met, POF. Come out three years later, aged 21 and ready to start flight training. Would stop the age old question ATPL or Uni that starts on this board once a week.
Oh, and Cabotage is another French word.
