A recreational pilot can transfer their time and become a private pilot. This course may be ideal for the person who would like flying as a hobby or just to have a good time. students can get this permit at the age of 16 and get their student pilot permit at 14! so if you're a young eagle maybe this is for you. Students will attend the same groundschool as the private licence.
