I asked the greybeards in the EAA chapter I belong to for their
advice
on when to take my first born up. The advice was to wait until
they could understand verbal instructions.


One thing to keep in mind is that there should always be a "Parent
in Command" on board when flying with little ones. That way, when
the inevitable hissy-fit is thrown, there is a clear division of
labor as to whom is doing what, and the pilot is free to fly the
plane.


Both of my kids have permanent scars on their knees from where Mary
would reach back and give them a good pinch when they started
fighting in the back seat while I was on short final...


;-)


Now, when we take their friends flying, our kids are the ones
hushing their friends whenever ATC talks.


Good grief. It's like the addams family.
