I am 6'3" and I passed my flight physical back in undergrad. Just remember when they say "sit up straight" don't actually stretch your spine as straight as possible. That being said, I know two of the ten candidates who went to the physical with me were DQd for not weighing enough and the butt to knee distance being to long.

This girl was about 95 lbs from the look of her. Also, I know that at certain weights (slightly too high or too low) they make you sign a waiver saying you might not clear the airplane in the event of having to eject. A girl at my Officer Selection Office had to sign one back in the day.

My Processor said if you passed a flight physical before submitting youll be fine. He was a pilot and has been involved for the last 5 years. Point? Dont freak out, keep in shape and dont go skydiving..

Too light: higher G loading on the body
Too heavy: well, lets just say you might not get high enough
