So if someone has "character," he doesn't need flying ability or training to
get a pilot's license?

It's bad enough when people depend too much on credentials; it's even worse
when the credentials have absolutely nothing to do with the activity at hand.
Be a royal, get a license--no competence or training required. Your
sycophants will still share the skies with you, no matter how dangerous you
are.

13 weeks in the RAF is sufficient for the normally attributed human to
go solo (which he has done)
Quoted


William's first solo flight came just eight days into his RAF
training, when he piloted a propeller-driven Grob 115 E light
aircraft round the airfield at RAF Cranwell.

He then trained on the faster Tucano T1 plane at RAF
Linton-on-Ouse in North Yorkshire.

His final placement was at RAF Shawbury, Shropshire, where he
learnt to fly the Squirrel helicopter.
Se is rated on 2 fixed wing trainers and one helicopter in 13 weeks.
That is impressive !

Wel, that rules you out on both counts.

First time I ever saw "bespoke" applied to flight training!
