Publication year 2020 Abstract Recommendations. It is recommended that all aircrew, especially those over the age of 40 years, should be periodically screened for cardiovascular risk using a resting ECG and risk estimating calculators that are representative and appropriate for the population to screen and provide non-fatal and fatal endpoints. Pilots with an elevated CVD risk should be referred for enhanced risk assessment. The flow chart in this section represents a useful example of such a procedure. This proposed concept of cardiovascular risk assessment would allow for an extension of the age limit for pilots flying multi-pilot operations and an extension to the age of 65 for single flying CAT pilots.
