I don't know about Sacramento flight schools, but you can fly solo from 16, so you'll soon be able to start (one usually flies solo after 15 hrs of flight). It's a slightly expensive training for the first step: PPL, so if you haven't already, you could start saving up doing holiday jobs and inquire about grants. Good luck, if u really want to do this you'll be able to!

Here are some links that may be helpful to you. http://www.youngeagles.org/ http://flighttraining.aopa.org/learntofly/school/flight_schools/ http://flighttraining.aopa.org/ I have been a commercial pilot for 17yrs. I highly recommend an academy style flight school such as http://www.deltaconnectionacademy.com/ Embr Riddle is an excellent Univeristy and very well respected in the aviation community.

Because you are so young, and the fact that most major airlines will REQUIRE you to have at least a 4 year degree... It would be advisable for you to attend an academy type flight training school such as Embry Riddle. Here, you will be able to earn a RESPECTABLE bachelors degree, while also pursuing your flight training to become a professional pilot. There are other schools such as Westwind Academy, or Spartan School of Aeronautics. Google to find more info... Although, you will get the best (and most coveted) multi-engine time at ATP. But no 4 year degree. You could always complete your training at ATP and work on a degree part time will you flight instruct, or fly regionals--that's an option. Multi-engine time is pretty much the most important aspect you should look at when evaluating a potential flight school. Don't forget to consider the military. If your grades are high enough, you are medically qualified, and you're a good all round individual, apply to one of the service academies USAF, ARMY, or NAVY. Or if you're enrolled at a university, try ROTC--this is how I did it. That's the best chance at getting a FREE shot at your dream of flying. Although the military will be VERY, VERY competitive, it will be the best training, and by far, the most rewarding. Otherwise, you're looking, no joke, at around $45,000-65,000 to get yourself competitive commercially. That's without the degree. Most of this can be financed and paid for with grants and scholarships however, so don't worry. If this amount seems too much, start at an FBO and become a CFI. Build hours that way rather than paying for the hours yourself. If you have any more questions, e mail me. Good luck, and never give up on your dream!!!
