Happy new year all.
I'm just going through study for my ATPL's but have come across a maximum height restriction for pilots mentioned on the BA website. (190cm)

Can anybody tell me if this is industry wide?

I'm 196cm and UK based. Worried this may become
an issue.

Thanks

Been different airlines, in many countries, met many different pilots of all shapes, colors and flavours, and never ever heard of a height limit, so don't worry.
You'll do just fine.

This is mainly a factor for military pilots having to use ejection seats.
