Hi Guys,
First and foremost; I'd like to thank everyone who has posted on this particular thread. The information listed is an invaluable resource, and I intend on utilising all of it in my quest to becoming a RAAF pilot. I am currently studying for my pilot specific testing (on the 2nd of June), as I have passed the initial YOU session general aptitude test. Nonetheless, my question is not regarding the testing, but rather the height requirements for all aircrew. These are the height requirements listed on
www.defencejobs.gov.au;
Height Aviation Class 1:Height - minimum 163 and maximum 193cm.
Sitting Height - maximum 100cm.
Buttock to knee length - maximum 67cm.
Buttock to heel length - maximum 122cm.
I have a height of 190cm (just shy of the maximum...), and was wondering what the measuring points are for both the buttock to knee and buttock to heel lengths? What part of the buttock is the starting point for measurement? I would just like to put my mind at ease in regard to my physical suitability. I hope to god that I am within the height requirements...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks,
