The CAA real have lost the plot. The minimun qualification for a fast jet display pilot should be they hold or have held an ATPL, class one medical every six months regardless of age. You have a point regarding G forces and I'm not sure if there is research on this, but I do wonder if G forces is an issue with age.Tthere was no mention of corrective vision in the report which is odd, as I would imagine most people over fifty needs some form of corrective vision.
page 12 Para 1.51 of the report
