  1. You can start lessons whenever you like, however you cant solo until your 16th birthday and you cant take your private pilot exam until your 17th birthday.  You can take your commercial pilot exam on your 18th birthday.  If you want to become a professional pilot, youll need a commercial licence.  Airline pilots can only fly for airlines until their 65 birthday


  2. It depends on each country's restrictions.

  3. you can begin flight school at any age. ANY AGE meaning a five year-old can learn to fly. You must be 16 solo, 17 to get your private pilot, 18 for commercial, some mahor airlines require an ATP so SOME major airlines require you to be 23.

  4. Yes.

    In the US:

    Student pilot:  14.

    Private pilot:  16

    Commercial pilot:  18

    Airline transport Pilot: 23

    You can take the flight training, written examinations, and practical tests at any age.

  5. there's a guy just down the road from me.....92 and still gets the first class even though he doesnt fly commercially anymore :P

  6. I flew yesterday with an FO who only started flying professionally in his late 30's. In some ways, having a decent amount of money behind you would help with training costs.

    If you want to be a military pilot, the age limit is probably mid 20's - possibly even lower.

    If you just want to fly as an expensive hobby, you could probably take it up in your 60's.

  7. No, you just have to be healthy enough and able to fly safely.



    You don't even have to be old enough to drive a car.

    You have to show that you can fly safely, navigate, and use the radio properly. There is  a "ground school" where you learn about weather, navigation, instruments, and get a radio operator's license. You fly with an instructor pilot for a while, and then you fly by yourself, before qualifying for a license. With more experience, you can work your way up to jet airliners.
