A-Level is the top level qualification for those leaving secondary school (aged around 18) people are likely to get in the UK.

Would you be able to complete the ATPL course with less than that? Yes I'm sure you could but you are more likely to struggle.
Thought provoking. Circa 1980 you needed Grade C 'O' level maths to enter the RAF and RN for pilot training. I had Grade A '0' level maths and that certainly sufficed for both the RAF and my ATPL exams in the 1990's.

So, I am surprised at the comment that 'A' level maths is needed for the ATPL exams these days.

Unless, that is, the current GCSE maths syllabus is so dumbed down that it caused a problem . . .
