Answer 1

You can search for a local flight school here: https://www.beapilot.com/ once you find one, I would suggest that you go and take and introductory lesson. This will give you the basics of flight and you can usually gauge if you really want to pursue this. Once you have made that decision, I would suggest that you start taking lessons once every two months or so. You can not solo until you are 16 and can not get your rating until you are 17, so you wouldn't want to start too early. I started when I was 13 and that is the way I took my lessons early on. Hope this helps and good luck!

Basically you contact a flight school and you take lessons.  You MUST take lessons from a real instructor (not just somebody who know how to fly).

The age limit is 17, but you can take your lesson sooner.  You just cannot get your license before 17.

Good Luck...
