I heard someone tell me once that when you are 16 you can get your pilots licnence. I am not sure if that is true of not? I am 15 do you think I could start taking lessons?

You can start taking lessons anytime you wish as long as you can reach the pedals and see over the cowling.
The Federal Regulations state that you could solo at 16 and get your license at 17. Since you are 15, if you want to start now and have the money, go for it! Talk with an instructor at your local flight school.

There is no age limit for taking flying lessons. I've heard of 10
year olds piloting. Of course they can't do it alone. To solo, you
must have a medical card (AKA student pilot certificate) which
you can get at 16. The common obstacle isn't age but money.

Age doesn't have much to do with taking lessons. If you can reach the controls. you can take lessons. 15 would be a good place to start, you can't solo until you are 16. The only PPL you can get at 16 is for glider or a balloon rating. Then at 17 you can get a PPL for powered aircraft.

I started when I was 15, I'm 16 now and have soloed and getting ready for a cross country. The only thing I have to say is try not to get discouraged, you may be ready to fly alone, but you wont be old enough, just keep in focus what you want, and never give up. Good luck.

You can start learning for it at 16 but you must be at least 17 before you can apply for a pilot licence

you could take training at any age, yet interior u.s., you go with to be 16 in the previous you could fly on your human being (or maybe then only along with your instructor's approval), and also you ought to be 17 to get an entire-fledged deepest pilot's license.

Yes you can start taking lessons now!
The rules in the US simply say you may not "solo" until you are 16.
Happy flying

I'm sure I heard of a 10 year old boy with a license. Perhaps you should inquire at your local flying school.
