It depends on what kind of airplane pilot we are talking about - most general aviation pilots use simple math to calculate weight and balance (multiplication and division), time and distance calculations, time zones (addition and subtraction) etc.
To be a professional airline pilot, most pilots are required to learn lower division calculus but will probably never use that information in the air, particularly with all the new computer technology.

I have a private pilots license and am working on my instrument rating and attend an aviation college.

∙ 11y agoMath is used in aviation in many ways. Here are a few examples:
# Calculating the CG to ensure proper weight and balance. # Calculating headings based on destination and wind direction # Calculating fuel range # Calculating arrival times
# There are some very complex mathematics involved in GPS navigation

i do not know i have herd that you can take maths literacy as they are computers on board that do the calculations for you. i have been told by pilots that you do basic maths such as grade 8-9 geometry and algebra. and simple maths such as basic adition subtraction division and multiplacation.
