Answer 4

there is no maximum to answer the dude belows question my dad is 51 and he is getting his after flying *cough* without one

but faa requires 16 to fly with a passenger 15 to fly solo 14 to fly gliders

Answer 5

Actually, here's the correct answer, per FAR 61.103:

You can take flying lessons at any age.

To solo, you have to be 16.  To get your CERTIFICATE, you have to be 17.  Here's a copy of the regs:

Sec. 61.103

Eligibility requirements: General.

To be eligible for a private pilot certificate, a person must:

(a) Be at least 17 years of age for a rating in other than a glider or balloon.

And, by the way, there is NO SUCH THING as a Pilot 'LICENSE'.  It's a Certificate. I have one.

Answer 6

you can be any age as long as u can touch the rudder pedals but if u want a private pilot license u would have to be age 17 to get a commercial pilot license u would have to be 18 and after u get a commercial u can go for your atpl or airline transport pilot license which u would have to be 21 yrs old to get and have over 1500 hrs flight experience
