Hi,
I'm just about to turn 17 (and thus go for my Initial Class 1 at Gatwick)
I'm 5' 10" (perhaps half an inch over), am slim, but I don't do that much exercise (although I'm changing that at the moment). I was wondering in terms of lung capacity, what are the requirements?
This may sound a bit stupid, but it is the only guage I have, but using the extremly crude method of blowing into a balloon and measuring the circumfrence with a piece of string etc., it only seems to translate into about 4 litres capacity. Is this ok or not? I have seen people saying about 7 or 8 litres capacity!
I don't suffer from asthma or anything, and I just wanted to know if this is something I should worry about (e.g. get exercising!).
Thanks very much!
