hi you

legally about 12 or 13


To take Flying lessons in the United States you can be any age. Many students are as young as 12, how ever you can not solo until you are 16 and can not receive your license after the appropriate testing and lessons until the age of 17.

Many parents teach their children to fly. Just because you can't fly alone is not a reason to hold back from taking lessons. I started when I was 15 and enjoy flying with people and sharing the gift of flight more than doing solo work.

Good luck and god speed!

My nephew began lessons at the age of 14. He washed planes and did other odd jobs at the airport, and in return received lessons. He was licensed at age 16. Now in his 20's, he has owned several planes and even a helicopter, which he used during Katrina to fly the mayor of Gulfport around to view the damage from the air.

According to FAA website, following are the requirements:

-You are at least 16 years old. If you plan to pilot a glider or balloon, you must be at least 14 years old.

-You can read, speak, and understand English

-You hold at least a current third-class medical certificate. If you plan to pilot a glider or balloon, you only have to certify that you have no medical defect that would make you unable to pilot a glider or balloon.

There is a minimum age to get a Private, Commercial and ATP license, as well as to solo an airplane. But there is no minimum age (in the USA) to begin lessons, because you are with a flight instructor. I once had a 10 year old student who would fly occasionally for the fun of it!

it depends where you are, and i dont think it matters to take LESSONS but it might matter if you are really young and plan to fly alone.

you can take lessons if you are younger but you won't be able to solo until you are 16. check out http://www.freedomfield.com for lessons if you are in northern california.

you can take flying lessons at any age but in america you can't get a pilots license till you are 16 years old. you can find out by going to the faa web site mr doodles

--No minimum age. A student pilot certificate is not required to receive flight instruction, or to log that flight time.

It depends where you live. In New Zealand it's 9 but you can't get your license till your 17

The minimum age to obtain your PPL in South Africa (my country) is 16. Not sure about international rule, but I think it is the same.

You need to be 15 to get a student pilot - third class medical certificate.

Any any any age.

I think you can be any age-I've heard of quite young kids doing it

Im not sure, but on our local TV news, there is a 13 year old lad who is learning to fly.

i was flying before i was old enough drive

I believe it could be as young as sixteen.

I thought it was 14
