Further to the above. I think this is the relevant part of the ICAO amendment (167 to annexe 1)
2.1.10.1 A Contracting State, having issued pilot licences, shall not permit the holders thereof to act as pilot-in-command of an aircraft engaged in international commercial international air transport operations if the licence holders have
attained their 60th birthday or, in the case of operations with more than one pilot where the other pilot is
younger than 60 years of age, their 65th birthday.
2.1.10.2 Recommendation.— A Contracting State, having issued pilot licences, should not permit the holders thereof to act as co-pilot of an aircraft engaged in international commercial air transport operations if the licence holders have attained their 65th birthday.
Note. Attention is drawn to paragraph 1.2.5.2.6 on the validity period of medical assessments for
pilots over the age of 60 who are engaged in commercial air transport operations.
