Greetings,
I have spent a fair bit of time searching these forums and I have learned a great deal about various factions of the military. I have noticed that the minimum height for the pilot trade is 157cm (from another thread), and that the American minimum is 5'4". I also understand that anthropomorphic measurements (ie. limb length) are taken into account. I am 5'3" (160 cm), and before I drop a fair bit of money on flight lessons (I know this is not necessary but that is for another discussion), I wanted to ask whether anyone currently in the Forces knows of a pilot who is of similar stature. Furthermore, is it possible to have measurements taken (using a blue screen like the one at CFB Downsview) at a private practice? I understand that resources are limited, but is it possible to have a quick measurement done by a Canadian Forces flight surgeon to ensure that one is suitable for the pilot MOP?
Thank you.
