Start them young!

There is currently no minimum age for dual flying instruction. Your son or daughter may fly as Pilot in Command with a qualified flying instructor from their 16th birthday and can apply for a PPL licence issue the moment they are 17 years old.

And who knows where a PPL can lead? Captain of an A320 at 25?

Entirely possible!
