What does is take to become eligible to fly?
There are a few simple requirements an individual must meet prior to receiving their private pilot certificate. First of all a person must be at least seventeen years of age and capable to read, write and speak the English language. Despite the age requirement of seventeen to receive the private rating, you can begin training at any age and solo as a student pilot at the age of sixteen. In addition it is required that a person pass a physical screening done by an FAA approved physician prior to the first solo flight. We will provide you with a detailed list of FAA examiners in the Hampton Roads area.
