That’s not really true. A pilot may not fly solo until they are 16 years of age. The thing that many non-pilots fail to understand is that almost all aircraft have two sets of controls. A young pilot may actually do all of the flying, but the safety pilot is prepared to take control at any moment.

Does that make this an Affirmative Action flight?

Never heard the term 'safety pilot'.

Then it is exactly true when I say a person of 12 years, or younger, can fly a plane with someone else at the dual controls? The fact is, you, and all the other idiots posting against me, didn’t comprehend what I wrote! I was all for young pilots and against the restrictions we have against young drivers, period.
