Well done young man. I am over 70 years old now with more than 20.,000 hours and remember my first solo as if it was yesterday. The memory will live with you forever.
Great job! I soloed on my 16th birthday and will never forget it, just like I’ll never forget my first instrument approach to minimums by myself. I had 250 hours when I soloed so I felt super confident. 30 years later I realize how little I knew. Be careful! Those first 1000 hours require a lot of humility to survive.
@bubbleobill267 he is learning to fly hours are hours if his parents are willing to pay for him to keep flying more power to them I think its great he knows what he wants to do at a young age.
I have no idea who you are but, I am so proud of you young man! My son is just about to turn 12 and is currently enrolled in young eagles class and is studying hard to fly. The flight instructor who we signed up under told us "he's too young. Come back at 16yrs old" however my son knows what he wants and is learning as much as possible. I'm going to show him this video tomorrow to encourage him that there are other young men out there who have drive and determination.
While your son is never too young to start flight training the instructor might be referring to the fact that in the United States one must be at least 16 years old to solo.
Great job! This really motivated me to start flight school which is my big dream. I'm 13 years old, but here in Germany you can only fly gliders at this age. Greetings from Germany!
Tail wheel, well done! The kids nowadays...!! Captain at 14! Correction - 13, and entering Aerobatics competitions!! Neat landing! Great the way you waved at somebody after liftoff, I could never have done that on my first solo, well done kid. Hey, the sky's the limit!! EVERY FLIGHT IS DIFFERENT
Wow, This is truly inspiring. I'm from the uk and i'm 12 years old it's my dream to be an airline pilot and someday I will be taking my first solo flight too!
As a 14 year old, getting a helping hand up is much better than getting a kick in the face. Instead of telling your kids "you can't", you need to start telling them "you can" and then helping them like this young lad. Now it's time to start teaching him instrument flying and aircraft math - time/speed/distance calculations, preflight planning, and takeoff and landing distance calculations for various aircraft weights and density altitudes. 🤠
Incredible! In Canada you can solo at 14 _and_ must demonstrate proficiency in _spin entry and recovery!_ In the U.S. no spin training and no solo until 16. Wonderful accomplishment for this young man! He has a bright future ahead of him.
Young man..!! As I see you, I see a very mature individual. Me, as a 65 years old pilot (flying since 1982), my words of wisdom to you. "Treat all your flights as if they are the First". You have a very bright future ahead.
14?; insane! You know what I was piloting at 14?; a Schwinn bicycle. 24 speeds. Rapid Shifts. Worse, my dad was a fighter pilot/USAF, so I was steeped in flying. Speaking of: in 3-4 years- YOU could be attending freshman year, the Air Force Academy. You're already an outstanding young man, squared in the head, MATURE, wise beyond your years, disciplined, goal oriented, and puts in the STUDY time. Aim High! #KUDOS
This gave me chills all over. I guess it’s the vicarious excitement and adventure, and also knowing that I just started my PPL journey this year and can relate to a lot of your sentiment toward aviation. Being at the controls of this soaring bird is indescribable. Proud of you for all of your accomplishments. Thank you for sharing, new sub ✈️
My daughter soloed at 16. I swicthed her from the 150 I was renting to m PA28 4 place. A couple of flights she lost the engine on downwind and rode the stall warning all the way around and landed about 100 feet from the runway hitting a barbed wire fence which gave her a sudden stop. No injuries and a few pocks on the airframe when the arbed wire broke.
You are so much like my brother was. H washed airplanes in exchange for lessons. We had so many good times in the Citabria, they a very capable aircraft, extremely well built. Congrats man you’re awesome!
Woohoo! thats awsome man, I also started at 13 and Just got my Recreational Pilot Permit last year at 16 years old! Thats awsome that you're doing aerobatics, I wish! lol.
I can’t believe you learned in a tail dragged! That’s amazing! We had a Citabria in red that I learned in as well as a 150. But you can do really fun things with that airplane
So I am currently 11 and really in to aviation I am wondering how you fly solo at 13/14 did you get a endorsement from your instructor because the age to do a solo is at 16 by the FAA. (If you could when did you start and when could I possibly start lessons and discovery flight THANK YOU!)
I’m training my 14 year old to fly right now. But he still can’t solo until 16. I never understood how anyone under 16 in the USA can solo in a powered aircraft. I know it happens, but it usually has a common denominator. Very wealthy parents with very big connections. I’m happy for this kid, but he’s not the only 14 year old capable of this. Somehow he got the blessing.
Hey Thanks for watching I’m in Canada where the rules are a little different where we are allowed to solo at 14 hope your son gets up in the air soon 😁
GREAT JOB young Man!!!!! You have a lot to be proud of!!! The "laws" must be different in Canada to allow a solo at a young age? OK, you were 16 before you soloed. The title of your video threw me off. Yes, back in the day I had friends who would solo on their 16th birthday, then take their check ride and get their ticket on their 17th birthday. Great job!!
@@FlightGaming5399 But you'll learn a lot about flying any plane by learning to fly a glider. If you can fly a glider, flying a plane with an engine will be easy. It would certainly shorten the time required to get your PPL. Nevertheless, even if you can't solo you can do all your training required for your PPL before solo and cross country flights. You can fly all you want with in instructor at 14.
Dude- What state do you live in? Do they allow that? I’ve been interested in planes since I was 6, How do I fly at that age? I’m currently 13 I really want to fly. Is there any way I can?
He’s Canadian. I am his age and I pulled out FAR/AIM 2024 I got for my b-day to double check, all aeronautical regulation is handled federally so states don’t matter and we can’t fly a plane until 16. There are ways you can get into the copilots seat sometimes with “young eagles” and “EAA explorer(sky boyscout)” but that isn’t an option everywhere and I am lucky I live in the city where young eagles was founded so back to sadly googling plane stuff nearby I guess.
I didn't know you could solo at 14 in Canada. That's awesome! I'm 46, in the US, and working on my PPL. So what are your restrictions now that you've soloed? When can you get your license?
Oh you live in Canada we have different laws here in usa. You have to be 16 to solo. I always wondered how you did it. Luckily we can still solo gliders at 14. I did that. It was pretty interesting. Crazy to think just a month after doing that it feels normal to me now. If you told me a year ago that I would become a cross country glider pilot a year later i would have never believed you.
Me am from south Sudan and I am 23 years old but since I was born I really love flying when I was young if one day I never saw the plane flying over me I can't feel well and is like I miss something big in my life, from there when I reach 16 years old just because in our country we don't have flying school I just started joining the aviations group like and share knowledge with some friends so am really interested and am telling you my friend if you love me 💕💕💕💕 and wish me to be come a pilot please you help me by praying and thanks for everyone who wish it me I always need to stay up in the sky
Hey man! I was wondering what age you need to be to have piloting lessons. I’m not 14 yet but I’m looking forward to flying Cessnas and possibly commercial jets when I’m older! all I want to know is how old you need to be to get lessons.
Hey man, I am a 13 year old viewer and I am wondering on how I could make this reality happen. I am a glider pilot, and I am very interested in aerobatics. I've seen your other videos on how you do aerobatics, and I was wondering on how I can start this off. I live in the state of New York, please reply to me if you can help me start out. Thank you and your videos are awesome!
I live in Canada and I want to be a pilot and drive the boing 747 but I can't because I have ADHD ): so this helps thank you for being a inspiration for me (:
I am 14 and I had my first Cessna 185 turbo flight I am in the civil air patrol and it’s so fun and now I want to buy my own plane and get my pilots licenss
Hey Adam, been following your videos, would love to have you do a little presentation for our EAA chapter. Also, tell your Mom and Dad Hi from JJ, that's my wife! She used to work with your parents! PM me, if you are interested.
Well done young man. I am over 70 years old now with more than 20.,000 hours and remember my first solo as if it was yesterday. The memory will live with you forever.
Look at what he's capable of, at a time when kids his age are having trouble figuring basic things about life out. Wonderful, and inspiring.
For real, when most 14 year olds are on TikTok watching random shit and being extremely immature, this guy is a legend
Great job! I soloed on my 16th birthday and will never forget it, just like I’ll never forget my first instrument approach to minimums by myself. I had 250 hours when I soloed so I felt super confident. 30 years later I realize how little I knew. Be careful! Those first 1000 hours require a lot of humility to survive.
250 hours when you first flew solo. Typo perhaps?.
He was to young to solo but kept flying and accumulating hours waiting to be 14 years old so I dont know why you think thats a typo.
@@bubbleobill267, just a slow learner. And too young.
@@MrCubflyer awesome way to waste money

That’s so good to hear. My motivation for this channel is to help and inspire kids to fly!

It’s one thing to fly the plane but it’s another to handle emergencies, radio work and decision making.
You nailed that landing. Excellent. I only have about 18 hours in a 7KCAB, fun airplane ! ( I am 73 )…..
Adam what a star you are! Well done and good luck in your future flight career!
Living my dream! I am 15 and am working on getting my pilots licence.. keep at it bro and I hope to see you reach the high ranks one day!
Great job! This really motivated me to start flight school which is my big dream. I'm 13 years old, but here in Germany you can only fly gliders at this age.
Greetings from Germany!
Greetings from Canada! Thanks for watching and good luck on your aviation journey.
@@Turned_N_Bankedyour Canadian to!
You should start flying gliders, very enjoyable!
Good luck you won t regret flying gliders they will help you learn lots of stuff to use when flying an aircraft.
That's is awesome dude, as an ATC trainee in CYWG I hope to be talking to you on the radio in the future!
Tail wheel, well done! The kids nowadays...!! Captain at 14! Correction - 13, and entering Aerobatics competitions!!

I bet this kid already knows Time / Speed / Distance / flight planning and all.

This channel deserves way more subscribers. It is amazing how you can fly a plane solo before even being able to drive!
Great job Lad.. I soloed at 32... Greatest thrill of my life. Keep boring thoes holes in the sky. STAY SAFE
Impressive! Well done!
Great job!! What an inspiration!
I can here your voice as I read your comment

You get so soon old, and so late smart. 🤓
Adam, we expect to see you flying jets when you turn 16..... Well done!
Great job!!
I don't think I've seen such a good spin in such a small plane! I'm looking forward to my first solo soon! Great job!
I thought it was 16 when your allowed to do your first solo? at least that was the earliest i could do mine in the uk
I can’t believe you learned in a tail dragged! That’s amazing! We had a Citabria in red that I learned in as well as a 150. But you can do really fun things with that airplane
Impressive young man! You are going places! :)
Any place with a runway 😉
@@Turned_N_Banked Sure thing, even though I was thinking more in line of your future, flying or other profession. 😄
I am pretty impressed.
You will do amazing things.
Sky is a playground!
The sky is NOT a playground, its a dangerous environment, if you treat it like a playground YOU DIE. your comment was stupid.
I like Cessnas their an easy thing to get hang of as soon as you do
More videos. thanks 👍🌹
What an awesome video. Well done. Keep doing your thing buddy. Very impressive. 👍💪💪💪
he flies as good as or better than some prof pilots i have worked with for 34 years now ,VERY Nice
I started young too.
1:59 did u have a training school
Well done man
Smoothest takeoff I've seen, even flying small planes! Nice!

0:30....because the FAA Reg's allow it....and daddy&mommy.
Yes, but it is usually done with students just short of their 17th birthday when they can get their ticket. Wondering how Insurance looks at this?
Because you compeat in aerobatics is that why you can get your pilots piece as at 14 or is the law different in America
It is different.
