Then it is exactly true when I say a person of 12 years, or younger, can fly a plane with someone else at the dual controls? The fact is, you, and all the other idiots posting against me, didn’t comprehend what I wrote! I was all for young pilots and against the restrictions we have against young drivers, period.

That is a correct statement..

Signed "one of the idiots"...:o)

But if you are talking legally...the only reason another non-rated person should be "flying the plane" is while receiving dual instruction from a certified flight instructor. If you are not a CFI and going to let your 12 year old daughter handle the controls I wouldn't go bragging about it to the FAA...

What you wrote was “I find it very interesting that a person can get a pilots license at 12 years of age...”. This is simply not true, a 12 year old can fly a plane (with a CFI at the other set of controls), but a child must be 16 before they can solo, and they would have to be licensed (17 years old) before they would be allowed to solo across the country.
