From 14 CFR, Part 121:
Code of Federal Regulations Title 14 Aeronautics and Space -- Chapter 1 - FAA, DOT
§ 121.383 Airman: Limitations on use of services.
(c) No certificate holder may use the services of any person as a pilot on an airplane engaged in operations under this part if that person has reached his 60th birthday. No person may serve as a pilot on an airplane engaged in operations under this part if that person has reached his 60th birthday.
Contrast that with the parallel paragraph in Part 135:
§ 135.95 Airmen: Limitations on use of services.
No certificate holder may use the services of any person as an airman unless the person performing those services—
(a) Holds an appropriate and current airman certificate; and
(b) Is qualified, under this chapter, for the operation for which the person is to be used.
And of course, there's nothing like that in Part 91.
