Requirements
 

  • There is no minimum age to start learning, but you must be at least 16 before you can fly solo and 17 to obtain a Private Pilot's Certificate.  There is no maximum age limit.
  • You must have some photo ID (meet some relatively simple governmental requirements), and have a valid credit card.
  • You must be able to read, speak, and understand English.
  • You must be able to pass a simple medical exam.

Contrary to popular belief, pilots can wear glasses or contact lenses to correct vision. And other physical limitations don't automatically keep you from learning to fly either. There are many physcially challenged pilots who regularly enjoy the freedom of the sky.

Print the Pilot Training - Membership Application. Complete it and bring it with you when you have your introductory lesson or mail it in. Include a photocopy of a driver's license (or other official picture identification).

Mail the completed form to:
