From the Office of Management and 

Budget of a Currently Approved 

Information Collection Activity, 

Request for Comments; Part 121 Pilot 

Age Limit 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The FAA invites public 

comments about our intention to request

raise the upper age limit for pilots 

serving in domestic, flag, and 

supplemental operations until they 

reach their 65th birthday as long as the 

other pilot at the controls is under age 

60. Affected pilots would have to apply 

for medical examination twice a year to 

maintain a first-class medical certificate 

instead of once a year to maintain a 

second-class medical certificate. 

DATES: Please submit comments by 

August 31, 2009.
