What is the minimum age requirement to go into flight school

Logan,

You need to be 16 to get your student pilots license though some schools might allow you to start sooner. You’d have to inquire with your local schools.

Logan,

While 16 may be the minimum age to hold a student pilot certificate, 17 is the minimum age to hold a PPL, 18 for a commercial license, 21 for a restricted ATP, 23 for an unrestricted ATP, and as far as I know airlines require pilots hold an unrestricted ATP before they upgrade.

I don’t know what your goals are, but if you want to fly for an airline then there’s something to be said about timing your training to prevent gaps in training while you wait to just get older in order to advance to the next stage.
