Hi
I am 205 cm (80") tall and i would like some info on dimensions in the cockpits like seatback to pedals and seat to roof. I finished the last of the 12 ATPL exams thursday so I am on the way. Howewer I would like to have an idea about what type(s) of aircraft I can fit into. So far i have learned that i can fit into a C-130, challenger 604, 737 and cessna 172 but not 150.
Any info or experience on the subject would be appreciated.
Thanks

I wouldn´t worry about "not fitting into a cockpit"
I cant tell you most regional turbos, like the F27, Dash-8, ATRs, have cockpits big enough you would fit in.
And you won´t have any problems with wide body A/C. You should know that.
Some planes with smaller cockpits are the Cessna Citation, Learjet, probably Cheyennes, kings and B1900s.

Most airlines requirements don´t specify a max height or weight but they only ask for "height commesurate with weight"

Hope you get the job you´re looking for.

Best Wishes !
