Class 1 and BMI
Hi chaps,
Need to get my Class 1 done so I can decide to put the money towards my CPL training and MEIR. I'm confident I'll pass everything but the BMI side of things.
My BMI Currently lies just over 35 (the limit I have been told) and I'm on the way down. I'm not a fat guy, I'm broad and stocky with quite a bit of muscle. I've played Rugby and Football most of my life and continue to exercise regularly.
I've been told that the CAA won't even think about passing you if you are over that number 35. I've read about the extra examinations and flight tests and have no problem doing these! I have no problem operating my Grumman AA5 safely, which aren't the widest of airframes.
Just wondering if anyone has a Class 1 with their BMI over 35 or has any experience in this field. All comments appreciated.
