The sky is Not Limited by Age

In the United States, what matters is not age,but preparation and responsibility.
One of my goals this year is to take my own child into the sky and let him learn from real experiences. Today, I flew with my 8-year-old son, Tsubasa, and under my supervision, he handled the radio communication for our landing at Harvey Field.
This was not a game. He understood what he was going to say in advance practiced the exact phraseology and had an adult beside him, fully responsible at all times
It was real learning, designed with safety at its core.
Protecting children does not mean preventing them from doing things. It means letting them experience the real world in the right environment.
That is why, in America, the sky is not limited by age—it is open to those who are willing to learn.

アメリカでは、年齢ではなく「準備」と「責任」が大切にされます。今年の私の目標の一つは、自分の子どもと一緒に空へ上がり、「本物」を学んでもらうこと。
今日は8歳の息子・ツバサを空に連れて行き、ハービーフィールドへ着陸する際の無線連絡を彼自身に行わせました。これは「遊び」ではありません。事前に内容を理解し話す言葉を繰り返し練習し大人が必ず隣で責任を持つ
という、安全設計の中での本物の学びです。
子どもを守るとは、何もさせないことではなく、正しい環境で、本物に触れさせること。
だからアメリカでは、空は「年齢制限」ではなく、学ぶ意志に開かれている場所なのです。
