Public Transport Single Pilot over age 60?

[wassatboing?]

Heard a rumour that the 60 age limit had been succesfully challenged. Anyone any information?
Yes I'm 59 and a bit!

US pilots in the GOM are flying....well into their 70's....but at the pay rates they had to endure...they have to.

I´m assuming JAR regs here right?

I know in my country you can fly "aerial work" single pilot over 60. Now aerial work in Scandinavia requires AOC but I seem to have heard that in the UK an AOC is not needed.

But for JAR-OPS 3 operations the 60 year limit is still valid unless flying multi crew.

But then again individual countries seem to sometimes interpret the JAR´s in different ways or have their own rules!

Yes I'm specifically referring to the UK CAA.

As I understand things for public transport as captain 60 is the limit, As co-pilot you can fly past 60.

For aerial work you can also fly past 60 as captain. I know one pilot who still flys pipe line age 68 but this isn't in the UK.

It's best if you check with the UK CAA to be 100% sure.

I think in most JAR/EASA states you can't fly public transport single pilot over 60, though in most you may fly in comman d provided the other pilot is less than 60. You can normally only fly single pilopt over 60 for aerial work and private category flights.
