No more over 60's

[gema]

SACAA AIC 31.1.1 DD 2001-10-15 allows for pilots to operate internationally between 60 and 65 yrs of age conditions being
1.) As a member of a multi-pilot crew provided that:
2.) such holder is the only pilot in the flight crew who has attained age 60: and
3.) the aircraft is fitted with dual controls.

Domestically the upper age limit is 65yrs

This subject is also debated on other forums. There is actually a move to have the 60 yr rule recinded. Already Tanzania is moving towards 65 yr ( AIC coming out end of September).

Apply correctly to the French DGAC and you can obtain authority to Overfly French Airspace with over 60s. (Hydro Air)

There are many Simulator Instructors reaching 60 who no longer wish to fly but wish to continue Instructing. They are very useful to the industry as a whole. However, they may not pass their medical's for one or other reason, in which case CAA takes the view that only Licenced Pilots may do Simulator Instruction/Ratings.

Would appreciate support to keep these pilots in the Training Field/Simulator Instruction/Ratings as we sure can do with their experience.
