Raises the retirement age for pilots in commercial aviation operations to 67 years.
The Let Experienced Pilots Fly Act raises the retirement age for pilots in commercial aviation operations to 67 years. It also allows air carriers to elect to set a higher age limit of 70 years for certain pilots, provided they notify the Federal Aviation Administration. The act mandates that pilots must have a first-class medical certificate if they are 60 years or older. It also ensures that pilots are not subject to different medical standards or examinations based on age unless the FAA determines such measures are necessary for safety.
The filed bill text is too short for analysis.
