I was once nearly decapitated by a radio controlled glider with a 12 foot wingspan ; )
No just an observation on how we refer to young people of that age as children when it suits and as responsible individuals when it doesn't!
In law young people of that age are treated differently in courts of law and we all know the attitude to young drivers.
My own son was flying with me at 12 years of age and was flying for Easy Jet at the age of 20 in the right seat of a 737!
After going through a CTC selection and fast tracking!
Nevertheless I think 16 is about right but find it all a bit double standards on considering 14 year olds as mature enough to fly solo in aircraft but not to be responsible for their actions in courts of law and many other things!
