So,I am new here! I'm a 16 year old from Mumbai, I actually wanted to work for Lufthansa but I think the chances are very bleak.
I'm planning to move to the uk in 2019 and join CTC aviation but I recently found out another course at Buck's uni-Bsc (Hons)Air transport with commercial pilot training so don't know which flying school or course I should go for.
(I want to work for some european airlines)
Also what type of math is needed to become a pilot?My math and physics is super weak so if you could recommend me a good course book I can study from?
Cheers.

To get into Bucks You would need A level Qualifications or equivalent. Bucs require minimum GCSE Maths. Have a look at that standard of maths as its quite similar to the level of maths you use in a UK flight School.

This Paper is non-Calculator Standard: http://filestore.aqa.org.uk/subjects/AQA-43651H-QP-G-NOV15.PDF

That paper would be a minimum expected knowledge in maths. I would say grade B min in that.

Lufthansa requires you to be able to speak german to a certain level. So unless your good at that you will struggle.

Do you have access to a European visa? Not really clued up about Indian Visa system and what one you would need.
