Cheers for the reply Jimmy The Big Greek (which for some reason is now removed).
According to this website:
http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/calc-bmi.htm
If you have a BMI over >30.0, then you are classed as obese. So if what you say is true - in aviation, pilots can technically hold a class1 and be obese.
Anyone else care to shed some light on this?
I'd just like to emphasise, I'm not trying to be rude or offend. I am honestly interested to find out.
Cheers,
Steve.
