Dont be fat lolI heard the most common way to fail the flight physical is to be anthro'd out...the most recent document with the measurements from 2006 leaves a bit to be desired explanation wise.

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.Thats part of it...but the BKL and Thumb Tip Reach tend to be the heavy hitters

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.I'm 5'7" so definitely not tall...but I do weigh 130lbs so hopefully that's not too light
