The scientific literature relevant to the separate scientific approaches required by the contract is reviewed. The document first provides a review of the Age 60 Rule, as well as theoretical and methodological considerations critical to the study of aging and the assessment of individual pilot performance. A proposed model is presented to form a framework for the research. Pilot behaviors affected by aging and/or experience are reviewed. Specific performance assessment batteries are reviewed in detail in Appendix A. Issues related to measuring complex pilot performance are discussed. Recommendations and criteria for developing a performance methodology are presented. The second part of the literature review provides a discussion of the issues related to the of existing data to assess the relationship between pilot age, experience, and accident rates. This section provides a critical review of existing analyses and presents recommendations for an improved analytical methodology.
