In simple words you want to be a a pilot (with a CPL).
Physics, Math's and English (now) are a MUST for anyone who chose his career as a pilot. If you want to be a pilot you have to adopt maths and physics. And no, there is no need for Chemistry if you chose your career as a pilot. And they will accept you with FSc only! But it's always better to do A-levels, you get a chance in a better university and it helps in the future job as well.
To my personal experience, and with my friends as pilots, there is NO chance for anyone to get a job if they get into a flying school after FSc. You never get a job that easily and 2 years fly by. And from this year on, most airlines reject any pilot who was unemployed for 2 years saying they have gone rusty! And they hire new fresh pilots.
So let me summarise a bit:

Physics, Maths and English is a MUST.
Try getting into the flying school after A-levels.

Hope I helped. If you want to know anymore details PM me. I believe we share mutual interests. Welcome abroad!

Yepp i wanna a pilot (with a CPL).

I'm doing maths physic english economics and computer studies in alevels. so they won't even consider my alevels for CPL? so i should go for FSC? what do you mean they don't take with Fsc. what do they really want? a bacherlors degree? So what is the way in then?

 

[basimnazir]

Your grades are just perfect for Pilot studies!
You could drop economics but I prefer you going on with it; wide knowledge! And if possible add Maths to it, you don't want to waste an year for the foundation, do you?
If you want your CPL from a top university, then A-level is a MUST. No bachelors degree or nothing. Complete your A-levels, pick up a university and you got the admission!
Take my advice: Never, under any circumstances, choose any flying school before the completion of your A-levels, it's not worth it.

Im really not gonna go before alevels at all. what university offer a CPL dude? what's the course? we don't have ad maths in alevels im sure about it.

 

[basimnazir]

Good descision.
What university offers you the CPL? Any university in the world, it just depends on the flying hours! You have to cover more than 113 hours to get a CPL.
What's the course? Pilot Studies.
Add Maths? How about simple Maths?
They need Maths, Physics and English.

I mean which university in pakistan lol? and should i do like engineering for it? sorry if im bothering you. i have that already math,physics,english,economics. what's the scope in pakistan?

 

[basimnazir]

NUST is the best I feel, it has both of your needs!
And why engineering for it? Thought I'll be doing enginnering with pilot studies and you're not botherin me, thi sis my fav topic!
Scope? Didn't get you?

 

[aliatifkhan777]

NUST? damn its hard to get in there haha. They offer pilot studies there? ..... with scope i meant that are jobs given easily?

 

[basimnazir]

Yup NUST. You have to work hard for it.
And yes they offer ARMY-pilot studies there. =P
It depends in which company you apply. And what country.

 

[aliatifkhan777]

[aliatifkhan777]

Are you a commercial pilot?

 

[basimnazir]

And same is here mate.
Haha sure.

And no I'm not a commercial pilot, I'm still doing my A-levels. Though I have a great interest in it. Though my brother holds a PPL. And he's an Aeronautical Engineer.

 

[aliatifkhan777]

Your brother studied from nust? is he gonna be a commercial pilot?. aeronautics is really tough i heard

 

[basimnazir]

Not really.
University of Liverpool. And I believe so, though he topped twice, in the university.
