Answer
Aeronautical engineering is no more difficult than any other branch of engineering. In fact, the first two years of engineering study are pretty much the same for all students - math, science and more math and science.  When you start to specialize at a higher level some courses can seem hard or easy depending on your personal interests and experience. I had to struggle with organic chemistry and electronics.  But I got through.  Others may have felt the same about courses I enjoyed.  Jump in - don't worry.
