Handflying - regarding medical statistic and evidence for pilots over sixty.
A well known specialist in aviation medicine in London started a study on over sixties from the day the age was arbitrarily reduced by the CAA (BofT) from sixty five to sixty, that study took place over many years using volunteers and showed conclusively that risk to passengers, aircraft or other third parties did not increase between the ages of sixty and sixty five. Let us hope Captain Evans is in possession of this evidence.
