From the government retire age is 65, but for the PILOT i am not sure
try to google, but it will depend if your medical certificate will remain valid

Rather than rely on third party information perhaps a long and tedious call here might yield a definitive result?

Thanks guys,


I thought my question was pretty much straight forward and easy to answer for all you aviators who passed their Tanzanian AIR LAW Exam.
Maybe I was wrong, but still hoping someone will give me the right answer, without me calling the Tanzanian Aviation Authority. I am sure thats´s not gonna be a delight !

Max Age

Cant answer your question directly but my Zambian Experience from 2008might indicate.
As a Single Engine Commercial Pilot (not ATLP), once I reached the age of 60 I could only continue to fly to age 65 if I had a co pilot less than 60 years of age. This was obviously not practical in the bush pilot enviroment of C206/C210. But quite a few operators (maybe most now) fly the C208 Caravan as a two crew operation, so there is a window there.
If your are twin rated the possibilities would be much higher but depend on the size of the Operator and his crew roster.
Good Luck.

You've got til 65 for domestic caravan flying... but some companies like coastal have their own limit of 60

[cabowings]

from 60 you are not allowed to fly PIC internationally
