Default Am I too old to fly?

Likely so, but that has nothing to do with the fact that your blanket
statement was wrong.

Hopefully the original poster will look it up and find out for himself.


FAR 61.53 (a) which applies to holders of a medical certificate:

"...any medical condition that would make the person unable to meet the
requirements for the medical certificate..."

FAR 61.53 (b) which applies to no medical certificate:

"...any medical condition that would make the person unable to operate
the aircraft in a safe manner..."

A trivial example showing your blanket statement to be false:

A person could have a blood pressure of 156 which exceeds the limit for
a third class medical certificate by 1mm but be perfectly able to fly
an aircraft in a safe manner.

Since you made an all encompassing, blanket statement, one trivial example
is sufficient to show you were once again pulling it out of your ass.
