The standard v=u+at and all those equations i would assume are sensible, as would be a bit of f=ma, drag (which is only a load of factors all stuck together and nothing complicated) and possibly some trig here and there.
As far as I remember the maths isn't really anyway near A-Level standard, let alone Uni level. v=u+at and Newton's other 4 beauties aren't in there either as far as I remember. f=ma is and equations for lift used quite a bit. Navigation involves some trig. If you got a basic level of maths and have a decent ground school you will be fine. Lad in my class was straight from GCSE's and now flying for BA.

Good luck
