The FAA does have a cognitive test used primarily for head injury, stroke, neurological, and HIMS recoveries. It takes a full day(sometimes broken up into two) to complete and is administered by an FAA approved Psychologist or Psychiatrist. We’d probably lose more pilots (than we would gain by raising the age) if it were administered to the entire group.
