But having to wait a year between solo and private is a lot of down
time for someone who probably has an enormous number of non-aviation
activities and a very short attention span (pretty much describes all
of us at 15). It might be best to wait until he is old enough to pursue
this activities at his natural pase and not get stopped all the time by
age requirements.
