I started at 51 and still fly occasionally at 68. I have 4 major
medical problems but the FAA has a "Special Issuance" process that got
me a medical certificate last year and I'm up for renewal right now.
The check medical reports every year now, with a normal 2 year
examination. Work through your AME on this. Mine was extremely
helpful and put me in contact with the Regional Flight Surgeon at the
FAA. But a word of caution: get all the required test results all
ready to send in because there is a 30 day time out on your
application. If you exceed that, you will have to reapply.
