There are some random formatting anomalies scattered through this PDF conversion (such as lots of question marks). I taken most out but don't have time to completely clean these to posts up. Sorry 'bout that.
CHAPTER 2. Licences and Ratings for Pilots
. . .
2.1.10 Limitation of privileges of pilots who have attained their 60th birthday and curtailment of privileges of pilots who have attained their 65th birthday.
2.1.10.1 A Contracting State, having issued pilot licences, shall not permit the holders thereof to act as pilot-in-command of an aircraft engaged in international commercial air transport operations if the licence holders have attained their 60th birthday or, in the case of operations with more than one pilot, where the other pilot is younger than 60 years of age, their 65th birthday.
2.1.10.2 Recommendation.? A Contracting State, having issued pilot licences, should shall not permit the holders thereof to act as co-pilot of an aircraft engaged in international commercial air transport operations if the licence holders have attained their 65th birthday.
Note.? Attention is drawn to 1.2.5.2.3 on the validity period of Medical Assessments for pilots over the age of 60 who are engaged in commercial air transport operations.

Proposed change
Rationale
Chapter 2
2.1.10.1, 2.1.10.2
Rationale
For permitting two pilots aged 60-64 years and engaged in international commercial air transport operations to be simultaneously at the controls:
1. The flight safety risk is acceptable, calculated as likely to be no more than 1 x10-12 per flight hour for a double incapacitation of two pilots aged 60-64. This is a lower risk than ?extremely improbable? and significantly below the maximum acceptable risk per flight hour for a ?catastrophic? airworthiness failure in commercial air transport operations (1 x10-9) or the risk of a fatal accident due to loss of vertical separation (5 x10 -9).
2. Data from major airlines in a number of different regions does not indicate that performance falls substantially between 60 and 65 years, and should an individual pilot have difficulties this would be identified by routine simulator and operational checks.
For amending the 65 year upper age limit for co-pilots from a Recommendation (2.1.10.2) to a Standard, incorporated into paragraph 2.1.10.1:
1. Ensure recognition by States of 65 years as the co-pilot upper age limit.
