Hey,
I'm going to take the medclass 1 on next Tuesday, I was wondering if there is any max weight for a pilot before you fail youre medclass1 on weight?
Mine weight is around 107-110kilo. Height is 190cm.
Mine BMI is around: 30,5.
Will I pass the test?

Not sure about medical? But some aircraft seats are only stressed to 120Kg for example. Some even less - you could be a problem for certain employers because of insurance etc.
Stop eating so much! Give yourself a break and improve your chances of living never mind flying:ugh:

Sorry for the late reply! You should have done your medical already by now..

Did you mean Qatar Airways? Usually referred to as QR.

If I'm not mistaken, the maximum BMI allowed for QCAA class 1 medical is 32... So there is (was!) nothing to worry about in this regard.


Good luck.
