    A-levels to become a Commercial Airline Pilot
    Hi all, I want to become a Commercial Airline Pilot. I am currently predicted all B's in my GCSE's. However, for A-level I am unsure of what to take, because I do NOT want to take Maths or Physics.

    So what would be the best A-levels to take?

    (I know that you can pay for a pilot licence, but I cant afford that, so I'd like to know the best A-levels, excluding Maths and Physics)

    Thanks!

    If you cant afford a commercial course then you'll probably be looking to go via the RAF . They mainly want aeronautical engineering degress - so that measn maths and Physics.

    or start saving the £50k+

    At least one from Maths or Physics are required for some flight training centers. I am a Year 12 A Level student and doing Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Economics; and plan to drop Economics going into Year 13.
