Narrative:

This was my first trip after birthday number 60. The age 60 requirement is that below 10;000 ft at least one pilot must be younger than 60. I didn't think about this requirement - which now applies to me - until after the second takeoff of a four leg trip with a first officer who is himself over 60 (first and second leg rotations were based on normal considerations for takeoff/landing currency and break preferences. I was in the left seat for the first leg takeoff but due to captain augmentation; not in a pilot seat for the first leg landing. I was in the left seat; with the 'over-60' first officer for the second leg takeoff but the 'under-60' first officer was with me in the seat for the second leg landing). During the second leg our 'under-60' first officer who was not with us on the first leg - thought about our ages and realized that we had not correctly provisioned our crew rotation. The second leg's approach phase and all subsequent legs had a correct rotation with at least one pilot younger than 60 in a seat below 10;000 ft. I'm embarrassed that I didn't think about this matter as I certainly knew of the requirement but since it hadn't applied to me until recently I just didn't think of it. In discussing the situation with the 'over-60' first officer I had the feeling he hadn't previously run into this situation either. No excuse. I will now pay close attention to the age 60 information provided in the crew list!
