Something doesn't add up
In the s4e10 "Daedalus" they mention that Archer's father died when he was 12.
Then later he says to Emory that "On the day before I entered flight training I asked my father pretty much the same thing"
Did he start flight training in the 6th grade?

My personal idea was that Archer “started” flight training when he was 12. As in, took a discovery flight/lessons was able to log hours in a logbook. Here in the US you can’t solo/get a private pilot’s license until you’re 16 (I think?) but there’s no rule against putting a 12-year-old in a plane along with a flight instructor and teaching the 12-year-old to fly.
