Adaam Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Ok so I was researching the height requirements for WOFT and it seemed like everyother site had a different answer (i.e. 76in or less, 40.4in sitting). I, myself, am rather tall at 75in right now at the age of 17 and am likely to grow more. This made me a pretty nervous since becoming an Army Helicopter pilot has been a dream of mine since I was 10. This brings me to my questions, What are the actual height requirements and if I am to tall could I possibly receive a wavier? Thanks for your time.

walkerman180 Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 I'm 6' 7" and I passed a flight phys seated height requirement by like 2 centimeters. I'm sure you'll be fine unless all your height's in your torso. Can't remember the number though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adaam- See my post that I updated a day or two ago. Unless you grow another 5 inches, you'll be good to go. I'm 6'8" and just had a waiver approved for seating height. Unfortunately, I am unable to fly -64s or -58s, but can still fly -47s and -60s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
