Didn't understand a sentence from an email?

Dear community,

I have here a sentence from an email about starting gliding training for children under 14 years of age.

Now, does this sentence mean I can start the training or not?

Then you know that the 14-year minimum age for starting gliding training no longer exists.

Best regards

Max

I guess you’re 12 or 13.

The e-mail says you don’t have to be at least 14 years old to learn to fly sailing. However, Max does not say how old you have to be at least. Then, of course, the information would be clearer.

Here is the info of a sailing club:

After that you can start training from the age of 13 but get your sailing license at the earliest with 16. This is certainly a German-wide regulation.

Oh, yeah, right. I didn’t read the info exactly enough. I’ll fix it. But I understand the phrase “You can learn to fly with 13” so that you can start training from the age of 13. The following sentence is even more clear: “With the sailing training you can begin with 13 years of mental suitability.”

“Mentale suitability” means “provided that one is mentally mature enough”. How the spiritual maturity is checked, but is not in the text. Maybe a child has to be a psychologist who confirms if this child is already mature enough. Perhaps, however, the flight instructors simply decide on their personal impression because of their previous experience with very young people.

The sentence means you know there is no limit of 14 years more.

Ergo yes.
