piper warrior pilot,

Personally I know a lot of people who went off to do aeronautical engineering at uni,however they all subsequently became pilots so it was just a way of keeping motivated towards their ultimate game plan.

I didn't go to uni:there was no course that would have held my attention well enough. A level wise it's really only BA who has the hots for maths,physics for their cadet scheme.I did economics, history and geography and it hasn't held me back.

Its a myth that there is lots of maths involved in flying:geometry and the appreciation of it maybe but the most important thing is to have good fast mental arithmetic
