Let Experienced Pilots Fly Act of 2025 This bill raises the mandatory retirement age for pilots engaged in commercial aviation operations from 65 to 67 years of age. This age standard does not apply to commercial operations that take place in (1) the territorial airspace of a foreign country that prohibits such operations, or (2) international airspace where such operations are not in compliance with the Annexes to the Convention on International Civil Aviation. The bill specifies that a pilot who is over 65 years of age on the date of the bill's enactment may return to service in commercial aviation operations until 67 years of age. The Federal Aviation Administration must also submit a report to Congress on further increasing the age limitation for pilots engaged in commercial aviation operations.
