Is there an objective justification for the age limit? Something that made sense as a precautionary measure years ago may no longer make sense if we've now better understanding of cardiology etc and have how to diagnose changes.
Two fatal accidents I can think of where pilot's cardiac incapacitation was contributory or causal; Captain Key on Trident Papa India and the pilot of the Navajo that crashed shortly after departing Leeds in December 1974. Both well under 60.
The latter was single pilot operated.
