UN- Ageism

[cldrvr]

In Afghanistan, one pilot may be over 60, but not over 65 as long as the second pilot is less then 60, no flying over 65.

This has nothing to do with the UN, or any other operator, it is Afghan MoT rule. commercial ops only, rules do not apply to private ops, but does cover foreign operators operating in Afghanistan specifically.

This rule is a direct copy from ICAO Annex 1: 2.1.10.1; 2.1.10.2R

10.5 FLIGHT CREW MEMBER QUALIFICATIONS
10.5.1.1 GENERAL
(a) Foreign air operators shall ensure that their flight crew have the appropriate licences and ratings for the operations to be conducted in [STATE].
10.5.1.2 AGE LIMITATIONS
(a) Foreign air operators shall ensure that the required PIC engaged in single pilot operations on aircraft operating in [STATE] shall be less than 60 years of age.
(b) Foreign air operators shall ensure, for aircraft engaged in operations in [STATE] requiring more than one pilot as flight crew members, that if one pilot is between the age of 60 and up to age 65, the other pilot shall be less than age 60.

Thank you for that CLDRVR.. clears things up..
Strange that the UN didn't respond with that when we queried it...
Thanks again... TAC.

Glad to be of help. I even found you a copy of the Afghan AIP covering foreign operators on the web for you. It is a word for word copy of the ICAO rules.
