With government talking about an ever increasing pension age, better health and longevity and the rights of people to carry on in their careers for much longer probably to 70 why should pilots be sidelined at 60?
If you pass your medical there should not be an age restriction as apart from discrimination against one group in society I really wonder whether there is evidence that older pilots are more accident prone.
As an example I am close to that age
recently did a car driving competition on a race track in a Porshe GT3. i felt like the grandfather with 25 others in the competition which was electronically timed with an instructor alongside.
the other 25 mostly comprised of people in their 25s to 35s with a handful in their 40s.
Guess who won with a considerable lap time margin over the second placed guy?
Ok I used to race cars but can still put in equal times to the instructors.
i do not say this as a brag but to make a point!
you may argue that I have experience competitively racing cars but thats just the point I am making!
