You are not really getting the message are you, lewy? Sure OAA have entry requirements for their integrated courses. What has that to do with anything? You probably can't afford them anyway.

G SXTY is a working airline pilot who failed maths. What more evidence do you need?

You're talking yourself out of it.

It does intrigue me about PPL, that you could do it quite easily without leaving your own home, other than for flying lessons. And i suppose if your a natural and do a lot of training on the sims (MS Flight Sim, XPlane etc) then your only going to help yourself
Not quite, you do have to attend some classroom work. Also, doing a lot of training on those 'sims' won't help much. They are games. You'll also need to be building up to the 200 hours you need before you can get your CPL. So staying at home isn't much of an option.


Again, I seem to detect a tendency among wannabees that the only route to being a pilot is through expensive integrated courses at 'flying colleges' with entrance tests.

Lewy seems to think that he can't become a pilot because OAA want maths GCSEs.
