Single pilot age limit
Hi
need some help to figure out this issue:
Does the ICAO rule of a single pilot age limit (60years of age) apply to domestic HEMS flights in Canada?
Is there any country that complies with this rule for HEMS?
Thanks in advance

Don't know about Canada but as regards your question about other countries - the UK enforces the age 60 single pilot rule for HEMS as it is considered to be a CAT / public transport operation.
plenty of guys in their late 60s and early 70s still flying single pilot HAA in the USA with no issues at all. 70 is the new 65. The US airlines are requesting 67 as the new age ceiling now for part 121 ops. I suspect it will be granted soon and other nations will likely follow. Restricting 60 year olds as incapable of flying single pilot ops is utterly pompous.

If a pilot can pass the medical, is there any country where he could fly at 86 years either as captain or co pilot, private or commercial. Not too stupid a question I hope!

Don't know the full extent of the chaps approvals but he died earlier this month aged 90 and was still giving check rides for Multi, IFR and CPL two years ago (Australia).
