seeking adventure after age 60
 

i retire in 6 months, age 60 .... i would love to fly for two more years ;
i still have a child in college !!!!
i'm willing to relocate anywhere in the world ... does anyone know of
A-300 positions that might be available ?????
i have a USA FAA license and there is some issue about not being able to fly even where the ICAO age limit is 65 ... supossedly i'm only as good as the country limits where my license was issued :ugh:... does anyone really know the answer to that problem....
thanks

Yeah!

I've just recently heard the same thing! If you're going to fly somwhere where you either have to use your FAA ticket or are being issued a validation based on it, then the age limit of the country (in this case USA) that issued the basic licence applies.

Of course there is always more then one way to skin a cat. For instance, you could research what country might have an easy way to convert your FAA ATP and type rating/s to their licence and allow you to fly beyond 60.

Also, I suspect if someone really needs your talents, they may suggest a way in which this can be accomplished.

Good luck!

If you are seeking adventure why not join the DHL A300 operation into Baghdad?

EAT-DHL in Brussels are very short of A300B4 captains at the moment but you will have to convert your licence to work for them.
Good luck

This would be true if the FAA applicable part, specifically 14CFR61, set an age limit on the use of the FAA ATPL.

It does not.

The age limit applies to the specific 14CFR121, and that only.
If regulatory authorities elsewhere are applying this incorrectly, they need to be so informed by ICAO.

I have had no problem whatsoever in this regard, lately.

411A;

You may well be correct!

Further research would indicate that the age limit of the country of registry (of the aircraft or carrier) is what determines if you can act as PIC post 60th Birthday!

Yup, just jump into your time machine, dial the clock back around 4 years and you have a go! Or, in other words, DHL discontinued operating the A300 into SDA in 2003 .....
