Can i get a pilots license?

Question

Hi i was just wondering if a 13 year old could get a pilots license, or some kind of flying certificate.

Answer 1

To get a Student Pilot Cert. You have to have reached your 16th birthday, however their is an exception for gliders and ballons, you only have to 14.

Answer 2

In the US, you may solo powered aircraft at 16 (fly alone under your instructor's supervision) and obtain a private pilot's certificate when 17. You may start lessons at any time.

Yes, those hours count. Study now, read books and check these websites for fun:

Answer 3

Get glider training solo when you turn 14.

The flight time in training does count toward total time.

Answer 4

You can learn to fly but unless something has changed in the past few years i believe you have to be 16 to get a license.

Answer 5

check the laws in your area

Answer 6

Here is your answer:

You can't get a pilot certificate in the U.S for a powered aircraft until you are 17, however you can solo at 16...with the exception of a glider (15 to solo, and 16 to take the private checkride) You can take lessons anytime you want to, and yes your hours will still count toward the certificate when you become of age. But, from experience as an instructor, you will have to go back over alot of things you learn in those early years..just from being held back because of age.

I suggest you take a few lessons to get your feet wet in flying...then when you are 15...a few months or weeks from 16...hit it hard...fly all you can...you will solo in no time...then..you can just come out and do solo and some dual from time to time to get you ready for the checkride when you turn 17..Hope this helps!
