Here are some more information for Pilot Learning:
The pre solo maneuvers are the first required for your Private Pilot License. There are a number of Requirements needed before you can do your first solo. Now in many cases I will move on to the post solo requirements if someone is not quite ready to solo yet. I do this because I am not going to sit in the traffic pattern with someone for 5 extra flights to get their landings down. The lightbulb will come on and my goal is to have you licensed and a safe / proficient pilot by the time of your flight test. Also I want you to be in your budget.
Many instructors and schools will not move forward until you have solo'ed I think this is a complete waste of money. For this reason some people may say that the pre solo phase is the most expensive. When I see someone who has 40 hours, hasn't soloed and on top of that has not done the cross countries, soft field / shortfield takeoffs and landings, night or simulated instrument time, the only thing I can think of is that poor student got ripped off.
The main reason people don't solo is they don't have their landings down. So why wouldn't the instructor move ahead. You have to do Soft Field / Short Field Takeoffs and Landings, 10 Night takeoffs and Landings, Dual Cross Countries ( Yes More Landings). This is usually plenty of time for the Landing ( Lightbulb) To come on.
Here I have listed the Pre Solo Requirements for you. Remember there are two parts Aeronautical Knowledge and Aeronautical Experience.
(a) General. A student pilot may not operate an aircraft in solo flight unless that student has met the requirements of this section.
(b) Aeronautical knowledge. A student pilot must demonstrate satisfactory aeronautical knowledge on a knowledge test that meets the requirements of this paragraph:
(1) The test must address the student pilot's knowledge of-
(i) Applicable sections of parts 61 and 91 of this chapter; (FAR"S )
(ii) Airspace rules and procedures for the airport where the solo flight will be performed; and
(iii) Flight characteristics and operational limitations for the make and model of aircraft to be flown.
(2) The student's authorized instructor must-
(i) Administer the test; and
(ii) At the conclusion of the test, review all incorrect answers with the student before authorizing that student to conduct a solo flight.
(c) Pre-solo flight training. Prior to conducting a solo flight, a student pilot must have:
(1) Received and logged flight training for the maneuvers and procedures of this section that are appropriate to the make and model of aircraft to be flown; and
(2) Demonstrated satisfactory proficiency and safety, as judged by an authorized instructor, on the maneuvers and procedures required by this section in the make and model of aircraft or similar make and model of aircraft to be flown.
(d) Maneuvers and procedures for pre-solo flight training in a single-engine airplane. A student pilot who is receiving training for a single-engine airplane rating or privileges must receive and log flight training for the following maneuvers and procedures:
(1) Proper flight preparation procedures, including preflight planning and preparation, powerplant operation, and aircraft systems;
(2) Taxiing or surface operations, including runups;
(3) Takeoffs and landings, including normal and crosswind;
(4) Straight and level flight, and turns in both directions;
(5) Climbs and climbing turns;
(6) Airport traffic patterns, including entry and departure procedures;
(7) Collision avoidance, windshear avoidance, and wake turbulence avoidance;
(8) Descents, with and without turns, using high and low drag configurations;
(9) Flight at various airspeeds from cruise to slow flight;
(10) Stall entries from various flight attitudes and power combinations with recovery initiated at the first indication of a stall, and recovery from a full stall;
(11) Emergency procedures and equipment malfunctions;
(12) Ground reference maneuvers;
(13) Approaches to a landing area with simulated engine malfunctions;
(14) Slips to a landing; and
(15) Go-arounds.
All of the above areas need to be covered and Documented in Your Logbook. And it needs to be signed off by a Certified Flight Instructor. Yes I have seen people that have gone up with their friends, and their friends have signed their logbooks. These areas can only be given by a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI).

Emotional Intelligence, Control, and Test Pilots
Emotional intelligence provides us with strategies other than frantic attempts to control our situation. Consider the story of test pilots told by Tara Brach in her excellent book, Radical Acceptance, on page 49.
In the l950's air force test pilots attempted with new jet engines to fly at higher altitudes than ever before. In the rarified atmosphere, they found to their horror that a plane could skid out of control and start tumbling end over end. Pilots responded by frantically trying to work their controls to stabilize their planes. The more furiously they worked their controls, the more they tumbled. Screaming helplessly to ground control they crashed and died.
Does your plane feel out of control? Your own life or your company's? Is marketplace turbulence tossing your plane end over end? Leadership experts have been talking for some time about chaos that leaders face. Have you made frantic attempts to regain control? Before you crash and burn, consider some ways out of your turbulence.
The pilots learned that they had to relax and let go until the plane entered lower altitudes where they could regain control. This was very counterintuitive. Not frantic efforts to control, but relax and wait. Then stabilize the plane.
Can this be a metaphor for leaders? If you are in circumstances that you just can't seem to control, can you pause and relax? When you get centered, you can think much more clearly and make better decisions. How often are you able to do this?
Getting centered and resourceful is one of the benefits of our Executive Coaching. We help clients pause and set their frantic efforts aside for a coaching moment. As they answer our questions, they get more reflective. As they use us as a sounding board, they get more centered. Finally, they get more resourceful and see new solutions. This process helps leaders be resilient in the midst of chaos.
We also teach clients how to meditate if they wish so that they have another method of getting centered on their own. Meditation calms us and allows us to pause so that we can let go of our frantic efforts at control and slowly become more resourceful.
Our Executive Coaching helps you stay centered and resourceful.

can i start learning to pilot aircraft at 14?
i live in Portland,ME and i want to start learning how to fly to get hours and get a head start to becoming a airline pilot for Southwest when im older. Can i start now?
Absolutely. You can't get any licenses right now, but you can start learning the basics of flight. I would suggest going to your local municipal airport (low traffic, good for learning), and request an instruction flight. Get up in the air and see how you like it.
Here is more information on the licenses you can receive in a few years- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_certification_in_the_United_States
