The problem is that incapacitating events are only loosely correlated with
age.


My friend started asking me to be a safety pilot in his Mooney when he reached his mid 80s. After one flight, he said he would be away the following week. "I'm going skiing" he explained.

I flew for almost 40 years and always had said I would retire at 70, I did!! I do miss it but don't regret it.

Age is clearly a general indicator, but a very imprecise one. I'd say that good health, which we all recognize, or can be measured by a medical certificate, is enough to carry on flying, both solo and with passengers, no matter what the age.
