Q = If a female CC is appointed but is less than 5’4”, can she receive a waiver to fly? What about a waiver that lets her fly fighters? When is the earliest this can be determined? Saw some material that answers the first question as a yes, but nothing about fighters. Personal experience, anecdotal evidence welcome.
A= First off, nobody receives waiver to fly until their junior year...ROTC or SA. So for Admissions, this question is a non-player. Secondly, it's not so much your standing height, as it is your sitting height and ability to reach the pedals. During a flight physical, they take very precise measurements to figure that out...anthropometric....The waivers, would be granted for specific flying platforms. In lay terms, some air frames big an little people can fly, some they can't.//Personal experience, anecdotal evidence welcome. = this would only be useful to you with the exams measurements folks had and what was waived for what air frames. If it starts out with "I know a guy...that knew a gal..who was my brother's first cousin..."....you get my point.
