16 years
You can fly to any destination in the world and even, take passengers. No previous experience or specific training is required in order to obtain the private pilot license PPL and the minimum age to start the course is 16 years of age.
***************************************************************************************************************
Operator minimum age The regulation does not set a minimum age for a UAS operator. This is left to the discretion of the individual Member States to determine, although the European Commission’s working assumption was that the requirements set out in the Implementing Regulation (at Article 14) would mean that it was unlikely that a person under the age of 18 could become a UAS operator.
****************************************************************************************************************
This is an interesting comparison... so is this telling us that a 10 year old child (that was when I built and flew my first Mercury Marauder towline glider) cannot build or fly a model over 250g from now on?
Oh Dear, how I love all this freedom the bureaucrats keep talking about....
