60 and out!

In some countries the regulation is even more clear cut. In Singapore for example the ANO states “A licence of the class referred to in (a) to (k) shall not be renewed or granted to any person who has attained the age of 60 years."

The reference (a) to (k) means all pilot's licences starting at a Student Pilot’s Licence and going all the way up to an ATPL, for helicopters, airplanes, balloons, airships, etc.; the lot!

Having said that, I understand from industry sources that Singapore Airlines is giving contracts to direct entry Captains valid up to the age of 62 years. Apparently this is in anticipation of a change in the ICAO regulations which will be immediately adopted by CAAS.
