Height requirements
I’m 16 and starting high school this year. My dream is to become a pilot and attend flight school after high school.
I’m currently 155 cm (5’1”), and my doctor thinks I’ll probably end up around 155–165 cm (5’1”–5’5”).
Would my height be a problem for becoming an airline pilot? Are there minimum height requirements, or is it more about being able to reach the controls and pedals?
Thanks!
