- A. The required physical rigors and necessary stamina render service as a pilot in the Lower Coastal Area to be such that no pilot seventy years or older will be registered.
- B. The experience necessary to build and maintain optimal proficiency as a pilot, through apprenticeship, short branch licensure, and as a Full Branch Pilot, occurs and progresses continually. It is in the best interest of pilotage that such proficiency is developed and cultivated to allow for a well-experienced group of pilots to each serve for a substantial career. Therefore, an applicant who has reached their 34th birthday will be ineligible for review by the Commissioners in determining appointments to apprenticeships.
