Age limit for pilots in Nigeria.

[ooizcalling]

Does anyone know what the age limit for Captains in RPT operations in Nigeria ? There's been so many changes worldwide in recent times, some have 60, others 63 or 65. What's the latest in that part of Africa. Anyone know ?

NCARs currently state 60 years for acting as pilot in command of a public transport flight. However, the last update was published just 1 month before ICAO increased their recommended age to 65. There is currently a committee looking into it and in the meantime some companies have been granted dispensations to age 65 by the NCAA.

Thanks SB's. Guess I should check with the NCAA

All wet leased in aircraft from outside companies are allowed age 65 as a matter of standard course. provided the country of registration has approved 65 as the maximum age.

Official word from an NCAA inspector.
