answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2020 answer text <p>We cannot commit to a formal review of the licensing of pilots over the age of 65 at this stage.

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if his Department and the Civil Aviation Authority will consult on removing the ban on pilots who are over 65 years of age and otherwise fit and healthy from flying domestic commercial aircraft.

uin	2479
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2020 answer text <p>We understand that the upper age limit restrictions on pilots can be a frustration and the DfT and CAA have worked closely with EASA to understand the evidence on what the upper age limits should be. At present, the UK continues with its policy of regulatory alignment with Europe, and EASA is still considering its position. EASA has recently asked for views from the European Aviation Medical Assessors Council, and it is expected that EASA will consult on any formal proposals developed. We will of course continue to contribute actively, and keep the situation under review when further evidence and/or proposals become available.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 21/01/2020 16:31:26 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard
