How old should you be to take flight training?

Question

How old should you be to take flight training?

Answer 1

You have to be 16 years old to solo and 17 to get your rating, but you can start your training at any age. I started when I was 13 taking lesson once a month for awhile and then when i was 15 started taking them more frequently.

Answer 2

last I knew you could take lessons as young as 14,but to solo, I think you have to be 16.

Answer 3

old enough to reach the controls

Answer 4

You must be 16 to solo, and 17 to apply for a Private Pilot Certificate.  There are those who would disagree, but in my opinion, it is a waste of time and money to take flight hours before age 16 when you can solo.

Good luck, and have fun!

Answer 5

You can start at any age, but honestly, there's really not much point in doing it much before you're 16, as that's how old you have to be to solo.  This assumes your goal is to get a license.  If you just want to learn what it takes to fly a plane, and don't care about getting a license or soloing, then start whenever you want.

Answer 6

Last I checked was 16

Answer 7

You can take flight training at any age, but you can't solo until you're 16 years old.
