Australia has no age restrictions on learning to fly, but it has clear requirements for the age of going first solo and obtaining a pilot licence. Student can only go first solo if they are 15 years old or above; apply for the RPL test and get a RPL only if they are 16 years old or above;  apply for the PPL test and get a PPL only if they are 17 years old or above; and apply for CPL test and get a CPL only if they are 18 years old or above. Depending on the licence, but we suggest students start learning to fly few months in advance so as soon as they meet the age requirement, they can apply for their flight test and get their licence straightaway.
