Trial lessons and cockpit limitations
Evening all,
As a gliding club offical and instructor I field quite a few queries from Joe Public interested in trial lessons. With society in general getting heavier and taller, I find myself having to increasingly turn away people because they are outside the normally held cockpit maxima for gliders of 16 stones and/or 6ft 2 inches tall (at least until someone has the good sense to develop a variant with less restrictive limitations).
My question is what the corresponding limits are for, say, a C172 or Pa28, or anything else that anyone knows that has higher limitiations so that I can say "Not but try these people if you really want to fly" rather than a more unhelpful "No !".
Looking forward to hearing your suggestions
