Book excerpt: Since 1960, federal regulations have specified that individuals age 60 and older may not serve as airline pilots. Over the years, the "Age 60 Rule", as it is commonly known, has been the topic of considerable controversy and debate. The central issue in this debate is whether pilots age 60 and older exhibit age-related declines in health and cognitive abilities that compromise flight safety as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) maintains, or whether these effects typically occur later in the life span. Another key issue is the potential economic impact to pilots and the airline industry. Continued uncertainty in the airline industry is prompting many pilots who once supported the rule as a mechanism for career advancement to rethink the rule in light of large numbers of furloughs, significant financial risks to legacy airline pension funds, and the lack of defined benefit retirement programs at many low cost airlines. Advocates for relaxing the age restrictions for airline pilots also argue that doing so may be a viable means for maintaining sufficient numbers of experienced pilots and avoiding a possible pilot shortage. Congress has expressed considerable interest in this issue over the years. The rule has been examined in oversight hearings, several bills to increase the age limit have been offered, and Congress has mandated studies examining the rule and its relationship to aviation safety. Affected pilots have petitioned the FAA for waivers to the rule and have challenged the rule in the federal court system on several occasions, all to no avail. While the Age 60 Rule has withstood these challenges, there is currently significant interest in reexamining and perhaps revising this rule. Recently, some airlines have voiced open support for increasing the upper age limit for airline pilots and the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) is reviewing its 25-year stance supporting the rule. Many foreign pilots are already permitted to fly past age 60, and a new international standard is under consideration to raise the maximum age for airline pilots to 65 with the proviso that one of the pilots in the cockpit be under age 60. Possible options for statutory or regulatory change to the Age 60 Rule include increasing the upper age limit for airline pilots; conducting a trial program to examine the possible implications of increasing the upper age limit for airline pilots; or eliminating the upper age limit altogether, relying solely on medical testing to determine each pilot's fitness for duty. In the 109th Congress, two identical bills (S. 65 and H.R. 65) seeking to raise the upper age limit for airline pilots to correspond to their social security retirement ages have been offered. Other legislative options may seek to modify retirement entitlements for pilots to make certain benefits and coverage available to them at age 60. For example, S. 685 would entitle retired pilots under the age of 65 to the same benefits as pensioners over the age of 65 if their pension program is assumed by the federal government's Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation (PBGC). This report will be updated as needed.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This review of the literature establishes the scientific foundation for subsequent studies on the Age 60 Rule research conducted under a contract with Hilton Systems, Inc. The scientific literature relevant to the separate scientific approaches required by the contract is reviewed. The document first provides a review of the Age 60 Rule, as well as theoretical and methodological considerations critical to the study of aging and the assessment of individual pilot performance. A proposed model is presented to form a framework for the research. Pilot behaviors affected by aging and/or experience are reviewed. Specific performance assessment batteries are reviewed in detail in Appendix A. Issues related to measuring complex pilot performance are discussed. Recommendations and criteria for developing a performance methodology are presented. The second part of the literature review provides a discussion of the issues related to the of existing data to assess the relationship between pilot age, experience, and accident rates. This section provides a critical review of existing analyses and presents recommendations for an improved analytical methodology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report was a primary deliverable from the research contract with Hilton Systems, Inc. on the FAA's mandatory retirement for pilots operating under Federal Aviation Regulations Part 121, the Age 60 Rule. The purpose of this study was to examine existing data to assess the relationship between pilot age, accident rate, and experience. Three existing data bases were integrated on a single computer platform: (1) the FAA Airmen Certification file, (2) the FAA Medical History file, and (3) the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) accident data base. The report presents a discussion of the methodological issues with studies in aging and reviews prior research. Limitations of utilizing these data sets are discussed. The methodological approach was developed from these considerations. Hilton Systems replicated and extended analyses from previous studies, including statistical analyses. The report describes outcomes from analyses conducted to answer a series of questions examining the relationship between age and accident rates for pilots holding Class I, Class II and Class III medical certificates. Recent and total flight time are utilized as a measure of risk exposure. The results present a converging body of evidence which fail to support a hypothesis that accident rates increase at or about the age of 60 years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) regulation prohibiting individuals 60 years or older from piloting large commercial aircraft. GAO found that: (1) FAA has not changed the rule since its adoption in 1959; (2) since 1959, 418 pilots have submitted 67 petitions requesting exemptions, of which FAA has granted none; (3) from 1960 through 1988, FAA issued 1,301 medical certificates to pilots with physical and psychological conditions that would normally be disqualifying; (4) according to FAA, various studies have not identified an alternative that would ensure the same safety level as the 1959 regulation; and (5) FAA planned to fund a study of the relationship between age and accident rates in fiscal year 1991.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report was a deliverable from the research contract with Hilton Systems, Inc. on the FAA's mandatory retirement for pilots operating under Federal Aviation Regulations Part 121, the Age 60 Rule. The purpose of this study was to examine the feasibility of developing an individually-based pilot performance assessment, as well as design an experimental methodology to empirically examine the relationship between pilot aging and performance. Pilot performance was measured with both domain-dependent, as well as domain- independent assessments to test a decrement with compensation model of expertise and aging. Computerized cognitive test batteries, COGSREEN and WOMBAT, were selected as the domain-independent measures. Flitescript and whole task performance in the B727 simulator were domain-dependent measures. Forty B727- rated pilots were recruited from air carriers and the FAA. Pilots were males between the ages of 41 and 71 years (M=53.9, sd=8.1).
