Too short??
I am looking at starting my PPL training with the intention of going the modular route to do my CPL.
I went to the CAA for my medical but while I was there the medical examiner said that I ought to get my anthropometrics tested as he felt this was something I may have problems with, not being the tallest person out there! I have mentioned this to the person I did my trial lesson with and he has also said that there may be problems with me being too light to fly some helicopters. I'm 156cm tall and weigh about 60kg.
Does anyone know what the minimum my reach and weight can be to stand a reasonable chance of being able to fly most helicopters?
