In the United States, there is no minimum age to start flying lessons. However, flight schools typically allow students to begin flight training at any age, as long as they meet the physical and cognitive requirements set by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Key Points:
-
Start flight training: You can begin flight lessons as early as you wish, even at a young age, as long as you are physically and mentally able to handle the lessons.
-
Solo flight: To solo an aircraft (fly alone), you must be at least 16 years old.
-
Private Pilot License (PPL): You must be 17 years old to obtain a PPL and fly unsupervised.
Many young aspiring pilots start training early to gain experience and build their flight hours, even if they can't legally solo or obtain a license until they reach the required age.
