A level choices for an aspiring pilot
Hi all I am just asking for opinions on the subjects I want to take for a level , I am in year 11 and have rhe grade requirements for all of them and I want to take : maths ,physics , geography and pe as in my school you have to start with 4 . I am quite keen on either hopefully getting a funded place from an airline or going to uni of Liverpool to study aerospace engineering with pilot studies .
Are these good choices and if I were to drop one later and only do 3 which one should I drop??
Thanks

Note that for many programs, like British Airway's "Speedbird" programme, you don't actually need A-Levels; Only GCSE's. Given this, so long as you perform well in GCSE's (Focusing specifically on Maths, English, and Science the most!!), you will be fine with your A-Level choices.
The University of Liverpool programme you mentioned recommends "Mathematics and a Second Science" - The choices you've listed fulfill this (Maths and Physics).
I would recommend you do Maths, Phys, and Geography, where you drop PE later so you can do it as an AS (Universities only care about 3 A-Levels!!)
Your choices are great though!! Even if you drop Geography, you'll be fine!! Just don't drop Maths or Phys, because then you can't get into the Uni of Liverpool
