I thought it was the law that you have to be 14 to fly a plane :-/ . But dont count me on it

There is no law that I know of for dual instruction. However, in the UK the hours won't count towards your licence until you're 14 & you obviously wouldn't be allowed solo. The minimum age might vary according to country & individual flying clubs will have their own rules. Depending on the location the minimum age requirement for a trial lesson in the UK is between 8 to 13 years old. Note that Gamer64 is in New Zealand.

I can't understand how this topic has had so many views in such a short time.

PS. There are no regulations covering the minimum age of passengers.

I don't understand the scepticism. I often see people of all ages having their first trial lesson at my local airport. It's a popular birthday present. Check this out. http://www.southernflyingcentre.co.uk/flying-vouchers.htm

All you skeptics are just jealous I know I am!  I haven't been airborne in anything smaller than an ERJ-135 and have never been in the cockpit of a plane during flight.  Its not like he flew the plane all alone, there was an instructor, so I mean what's the big deal?

All you skeptics are just jealous

Let them speak for themselves. I've been up dozens of times in several different GA and ultralight planes. I consider myself to be very lucky with the amount of flying I'm able to do.

I don't know why under 15 would matter, I would understand if you said 18 but why 15?

Because once your 15 your less likely to be abducted by a 43 year old

What kind of stupid reason is that?

Try not meeting complete strangers and giving out your home address. You'll soon see how easy it is not to get abducted.

How 'bout a 44 year old? Or do they go for the 17 year olds? Like me. Oh no! Now I'm going to get abducted!
