Student Pilot
You don't need any special skills or abilities to obtain your Student Pilot Licence, just a desire to learn how to fly. There is no minimum age to learn to fly, however you must be 16 years of age to fly solo.
You must also speak, understand and be able to write in English, and have passed a student pilot medical examination.
When you meet those requirements, TVSA will issue your Student Pilot Licence.
