Answer
No. You must be at least 16 to have student license.
Minimum age requirements for the various airman certificates (i.e., pilot license certificates) are defined
in 14 CFR part 61, Certification: Pilots and Flight Instructors, and Ground Inspectors as follows:
- Airline transport pilot (ATP) certificate: 23 years
- Commercial pilot certificate: 18 years
- Private pilot certificate: powered aircraft - 17 years;
- Private pilot certificate: gliders and balloons - 16 years;
- Student pilot certificate: powered aircraft - 16 years;
