Ok this is my first post and I hope it is in the right forum, if not I apologise.
My question is this:
What is the maximum height a pilot can be to fly commercial jet airliners?
I ask this because:
My son (aged 11) has his heart set on Flying Airliners. He is young and keen and has been taking flying lessons in a piper aircraft as well as spending hours in Flight sim. I am 6' 4" tall. My son is growing fast!
I do not want him to have his dreams shattered because of his likely height. At this age it is early days I know, but I dont think he will change..he has the bug.
I read that BA is 6'3" maximum but havent been able to find out about other airlines. I am guessing it is broadly similar across the board?
Any help, comments, guidence much appreciated.
Thankyou.
