The calendar age of 60 is no longer medically justifiable as an upper age limit for airline pilots. Advances in gerontologic studies, clinical medicine, and operational flight proficiency evaluations, now allow individual pilot assessments for health status and performance capability. Individualizing the career duration of pilots by eliminating the present age 60 upper limitation will enhance flight safety and efficiency as healthy pilots continue their productive careers.
60岁的日历年龄作为航空公司飞行员的年龄上限在医学上已不再合理。老年学研究、临床医学和飞行操作熟练程度评估的进展，现在允许对飞行员的健康状况和飞行能力进行个体评估。通过消除目前60岁的年龄上限来实现飞行员职业生涯时长的个体化，将提高飞行安全性和效率，因为健康的飞行员可以继续他们富有成效的职业生涯。
