A 14-year-old Indian boy who was born and raised in Sharjah had his first solo flight in a Cessna 152 and has already beat other records for the youngest pilot category. Mansoor Anis flew a plane all on his own with a minimum training of just 25 hours. 

Impressive. 

Mansoor Anis began ‘training’ at the age of 7 when his uncle introduced him to computer flight simulator 

Anis’ uncle, based in New Delhi, is also a professional pilot working for a private Indian airline. When he turned 13, Mansoor was set on a career in piloting, in less than a year afterwards he went to Canada to begin his training at the AAA Aviation Flight Academy in British Columbia.

Mansoor’s chief flight instructor (CFI) was hesitant on allowing such a young student to fly his own aircraft

Mansoor told Khaleej Times that he plans to be an airline pilot in the future, and dreams to work for either Emirates or Etihad.
