Word Count: 70
The FAA has updated policy that applies to both Part 61 and 121 as they relate to the age of cockpit crewmembers flying in scheduled air service. When FAA regulations about pilot age limits were updated to reflect the age 65 option in 2007, it required at least one crewmember to be under the age of 60. That requirement has now been eliminated; both pilots may be over the age of 60.
