Pace;
I intend to carry on flying my own aircraft after retirement, as long as I can, but I will probably put myself through a six monthly rather than bi-annual assessment,(much as I put up with now) I agree with you that if a commercial pilot can pass his medical and OPC's then he should be allowed to carry on, but EASA don't. About 40% of my flying is SPIFR in rotary and EASA say that stops at 60. They were challenged though the European courts by Uncle Ian of the Rotor Heads forum of PPRune, with some funding by PPRune members but lost. I'm not sure there is anybody with the financial cojones to have another go, but will keep watching.
