Just wanna see if I'm right or not correct me if I'm not?

Hi I'm 14 years old, I know a lot about flying and I wanna be a airline pilot:D. What do the runway lights mean? Am I right when I say they obviously help the pilot see the runway, the green lights show the start of the runway the red lights indicate the end of the runway then those little lights(white lights) that are infront of the green lights(start of the runway) are where the wheels need to touchdown. Then there's lights next to the runway which show the pilot if his appoach is right. two reds and two whites mean his ok 4 reds mean his too low 4 whites mean his too high. One more thing how long will it take someone who knows a lot about aviation to get their PPL cause I know a lot and I beilieve there's lots more to learn. Thanks

    Go online and take a practice test for the knowledge exam, I have a feeling you will find that you dont know "allot" . http://www.mywrittenexam.com/mwe/tests/

    Aha right on everything! I was just like you two years ago before i started training! Trust me you'll do great just get the feel for flying, even playing google flight simulator contributed to me having the feel for a plane! Cuz affordability I started off flying once a month and in 15 hours of flight time I solo'ed! Find you nearest flying school and start flying :) you're gunna love it! Btw im 14 so you can just see how much just having an interest in aviation can give you a head start!

    P.S If you don't live in Canada you probably can't solo till 16

    You're right on everything. As for how long it will take to get your private license, if you basically live ay the airport (like going there to train all the time) it takes about three months, but most people cannot do that, so it might take a little longer. It all depends on how fast you get in all your hours and stuff.
