There are not imposed age limits by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) except for commercial airline pilots which is 60 years of age. Commercial pilots over the age of 60 can remain on aircraft in some other role such as the flight engineer. They can also fly for a company that is not a Part 121 carrier.
