Default Re: Heigtht

I'm 5'2", and can fly just fine. I've flown with pilots, men and women, at AA & AE who were my height. The seats in airliners have incredible amounts of adjustment in them, as well as adjustable rudder pedals.

In trainer aircraft, she may need some 'boost'. I'm embarassed to admit it but I used a booster seat in the warrier & archer. It had a 5" bottom and a 3" back and it made all the difference in the world.

So, tell your vertically challenged friend that her worries are unfounded, and that height doesn't matter.
