sir Toulost is right, his age might be a problem if he is planning to apply AB-Initio now. but if he has flight hours in his bag, well that might be a different story. if your going to apply for the CIA MPL, i bet those guys have already set an age limit for their training, you know how the business goes...
but there are other ways to go if you are really determined to fly.
I have read in newspapers that MPL is recognized by ICAO and ATO but im not sure about the outcome of their training...
