Just asking, but is it true getting a PRIVATE pilot's liscence doesn't require college other liscences DO?

Nothing requires college.

Jake, the actual definition of a "pilot" in the aviation world is one who has completed their first solo, not their PPL.  I have soloed, hence I am a pilot.

If you wear corrective lenses, can't you at least fly for fun, or are they stricter about that in Denmark?
