Retirement

In any field of work, there is always the thought of retirement at the back of everyone’s mind. “At what age should I retire? What should I do after retirement?”, these question may have ran through your mind at least once before.

It does not matter whether you are a pilot, a teacher, or any other profession, there is a time limit to the amount of efficient work you can put in before you are required to retire. In the case of pilots, the International Civil Aviation Authority, ICAO for short, has set a maximum retirement age of 65 years old. This has also since been taken in by the FAA as one of their requirements.

This, however, could still be changed considering the country you are in and the airline you are working in. The factors that lies in the consideration of maximum retirement age includes the abundance of pilots working in the country.

If a country’s number of pilots are declining over time, the maximum retirement age may be increased. An example for this would be Japan. The Civil Aviation Authority of Japan has since increased the maximum retirement age of Japanese pilots to 67 years old due to a decline in the number of working pilots.

In airline companies, the age in which you are required to retire vary accordingly. However, you will most likely be required to undergo regular medical checkups to make sure that your physical and mental health is up to par with the standards of the aviation world. Often times, senior pilots are sought after even more than rookies as senior pilots have a lot more experience behind them and may work better under pressure due to past experiences.

In conclusion, the retirement age of a pilot has been finalised by the FAA and ICAO, however, there may be a chance for it to be legally extended, therefore you may be able to continue what you love doing for a longer period of time!
