Some airlines may have a height requirement.. But some airlines such as Qantas don't..

I'm about 5'6 not the tallest pilot out there..

As long as you can reach all the controls and operate them to their full extent and also be able to sit at the correct eye height at the same time.. it shouldn't be a problem..

As people have said before when flying GA planes with limited height adjustment you may need a cushion..

Some planes, you can adjust the seat... Forward/Aft... Height and also the location of the pedals..
