License is for life.
The right to use it goes with medical certification etc.
Looks like the number in US and Europe is about 1 in 1000 who at sometime qualified to fly powered airplanes - rest of the world would likely knock that down to 1 in 10,000 taking into those who no longer meet medical standards.
Oooh, aren't we all so special?

So how long will they keep me on the list before they figure I'm dead or past it?
I heard a long time ago that many ARE dead. The NOK rarely inform the CAA (not exactly on the 'list of things to do for probate') and the CAA are hardly going to research it.
I would imagine there's a system where you're automatically 'knocked off' at 100 years old or something (but even that could come back to bite)...

Wake up sleepy thread
Concievably there are also Sport Instructors in that figure - no Commercial required.
(This is probably the oldest thread I've ever responded to. Trying to find the percentage of non-military pilots in the US. Guessing that the vast majority of non-military pilots are in Europe and the English speaking nations.)
