AM I to old (69) to obtain a PPL ?? after passing a fAA test many many years ago but did not proceed any flight time with a instructor. This has been a huge life regret. for me.
Hello Butch,
No, you are not too old! In the United States, there is no maximum age limit to obtain a Private Pilot License (PPL). While airlines have a mandatory retirement age of 65, private flying is about your health and skill, not the number on your birth certificate. In fact, many people start flying in their 60s and 70s as a “second act” or to finally fulfill a lifelong dream.
While you will need to retake the written exam and pass a physical with an Aviation Medical Examiner, you can use this locator to search for the nearest AME in your area. https://www.faa.gov/pilots/amelocator/ You can absolutely begin flight training now to finally erase that regret and enjoy the skies.
