The Dreaded Maths And Physics. Help?
Lets set this straight. I've had an ambition to fly for as long as i can remember but i never really grasped the importance of maths and physics until i had left school.
I have physics grade c GCSE but no maths. As a result i missed the chance to get these on my A-levels.
My plan of attack is to just train myself to pass high on these areas during my modular exams and so on. Does anybody have any good sources of information such as books or websites good for reinforcing these skills? i heard that there does exist a book for wannabee pilot weak in these areas.
Now obviously i am at a disadvantage by not possessing maths and physics A-level or even GCSE. I can imagine there being a little bit of a frown during the interview if the next candidate has these, but can any pilot currently flying now say they were in that position and dispite the odds successful without having those qualifications but possessing good knowledge of the subject?
If not, i'll probably tackle the long road and resit those GCSEs and work up to my A-levels just so i can get my knowledge 'on paper' causing another 2 year wait to begin.
But if its not that big of a problem i might just learn what pilots NEED to fly and take my chances in the selection process.
Boy i ask a lot of questions don't I? haha
