I’m 13 years old and I would like to learn to fly.
When can you start to learn and when can you get certified as a pilot?
I live in California.

You have to be at least 21 and graduated then you have to go to college for (uhm whats it called? engineering? Something like that.) You’ll have to wait a long time, but you can start studying sooner!

To obtain a recreational pilot permit you must be at least 16 years of age in the US. A private pilot license requires 17 years. The age requirement for a commercial pilot is also 17, though the company hiring the pilot may require more.
I believe you can LEARN to fly, without obtaining a license, at a younger age, but I could not find a source for this.

I am an FAA-certificated flight instructor. There is no minimum age to begin flight training. As long as you are flying “dual”, that is, with an instructor aboard, there is no age limitation in the U.S.
You must be at least 16 to fly solo and 17 to get your pilot certificate. Try to learn as much as you can now. That will give you a huge head start when you actually begin your training. Good luck with it!
