Hello IFC! I am 14 years old, and am working towards a Private Pilot License at KLZU ! Next year I will take the FAA test and will hope to distinct it. Has anyone here had a license in real life? And at what age did you start lesson?

I’m 13, and from Canada. I’m in a cadet program, and will be going for my PPL (Private Pilot’s License) in 3 years. If I do get it through cadets, training, the license and everything else will be free. I’ll actually be paid for the camp, more than 10$ a week for 5 days a week.

No, I am still working on mine. Whew it is a lot of work, but hey, at the end, there will be no regrets. I hope you conquer your quest and have a exciting aviation career!

Wow, that seems young. Where I’m talking my lessons you have to be 17 for your final check ride/PPL.

He will be 15 then. That is very good for his age! He is a go-getter for sure!

You don’t need to say it twice. I saw the first message. Anyway, good for you. Have you taken a discovery flight yet?

I took my young eagles flight in a Stinson 108!
My pilot said it was his grandmas second plane.

Since I live up in the mountains, there isn’t much of a choice for flight schools but when I’m in Denver, I sometimes have a couple lessons.

I have my license. I started when I was 14 years old and took my knowledge test at 16. In my opinion, I would wait as the written is only good for two years if you don’t know have your license.
