PPL Checkride at 16yo
I am wondering if it is possible to take the ppl check ride when I am 16 instead of waiting until I am 17 in Canada, I realize I won’t get the license but want to know if I can do the check ride early?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I don’t see anything in the cars that says you have to be 17 to take it just that you have to be 17 to obtain it.

Do as much as you can before 17. If you get it all done, written, ride, medical, hours, you just need to get the signature on your birthday. Great bday present.

Yes. My son did it when he was 16 and got his PPL on his 17th birthday.

Do the PPAER and PPL flight test when you're 16. Use them as credit to obtain the Rec permit, and then apply for the PPL on the 17th birthday.

This is a great idea. Minimal cost for the additional application and sign off.
