Becoming a Pilot

Hey everyone,
I was looking into becoming a pilot but some sources say that you need maths A-Level and some say you don't need it so I'm not really sure whats going on.
Could anyone help? Thanks :smile:

Civilian or military pilot? I'm assuming the former from your username.

hey mate, i am a private pilot going for the airlines. you dont need any a levels at all. Also i would not reccommend going to any flight school that requires you to apply. If youre in the UK there is hundreds of flight schools and you can go to any of them. Check out a local flight school and do a discovery flight.
read this thread where i explain the whole process in detail with cost breakdown.
