Is there a height requirement to become a helicopter pilot? If there is what is the height required?

I don't know of any minimum height, but I'm only a pilot and came through the military side- very average physically. For specifics, I'd try virtualflightsurgeon.com- I think that's the website address. On a commercial/working pilot side, you'd face some real challenges if your arm and leg reach were significantly less than average. Many cockpit designs are minimally adaptable, a couple of inches either way.

There are military height requirements but on the civil side I'm not sure they exist but keep in mind that they expect you to be tall enough to comfortably reach all controls and to not be so tall that you are uncomfortable and/or make your co-pilot uncomforable. -------------- [url=http://helicopterpilotcareers.com]Helicopter Pilot Careers[/url]---We help pilots land their dream jobs!
