As a piston pusher I don't usually frequent this part of the board, but I though you folks would be interested in this. Hope I posted it in the right sub-forum.
This is a link to a Request for Comments the FAA published Tuesday in connection with a possible FAR amendment that would raise the mandatory retirement age to 65.
http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2...6/E6-17851.htm
From the introduction to the notice:
==============================
SUMMARY: In November 2006, the International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO) will adopt an amendment to increase the ``upper age
limit'' for airline pilots up to age 65 provided another crewmember
pilot is under age 60. On September 27, 2006, Administrator Blakey
established an Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) on the Age 60 issue.
One of its tasks is to recommend whether the United States should adopt
the new ICAO standard. The FAA and the ARC are requesting comments from
the public about whether the FAA should adopt the ICAO standard and any
issues surrounding adopting or not adopting the standard.
DATES: Send your comments on or before November 15, 2006.
