Young Pilots

I happen to know of one youngster who actually soloed a rotary at 13 years and 3 weeks and its on video. I think his TT was around 120 hours dual.

I presently have a 15 year old who will make his first solo at 16 next month. He has completed the PPL syllabus less the solo cross country, but of course would need the ten solo hours in one day to actually qualify for the PPL on his 16th.

Many of today's kids seem to take to rotary flying like the proverbial ducks.
