Not a parent, but I have known a several kids that started training early. Unless you can start him on sailplanes, I think 13 is a bit early. The problem is that there are no immediate goals. Solo in a power plane is at least 3 years away (seems like a lifetime to a 13 yr. old), and a PPL is 4 yrs. away. Even at 1 lesson per week, it will be hard to maintain progress (and interest) for that long. This is exactly what I thought as soon as I read Jay's post. Jay should continue flying with his son, and fostering his interest, and put off having him take formal lessons until he's atleast 15. --- Jay -- __!__ Jay and Teresa Masino ___(_)___ http://www2.ari.net/jmasino ! ! ! http://www.oceancityairport.com http://www.oc-adolfos.com
