Good luck with your campaign, Uncle Ian.
But can anyone explain to me WHY an experienced, fit and capable pilot should be forced to stop flying public transport at these arbitrary ages? Does it mean that the legislators recognise that the medicals and base checks they impose on us have no purpose other to churn income for people outside the cockpit? Or that the AME's and training captains are all incompetent?
What are the figures for incapacitation of public transport helicopter pilots in the various age groups? I bet nobody, even the insurance actuaries, has ever sorted out one type of pilot from another and produced actuarial figures to back up the legislator's requirements.
Yes I have an axe to grind as I fell foul of this idiocy ("not our fault, it's ICAO", not our fault it's the UK CAA/SRG" etc). Again the FAA seems a bit more enlightened; will ICAO see the logic I wonder?
