Since Air Force careers are often physically demanding, we maintain strict height and weight requirements. If you have attained full-grown height and are too short or too tall to meet our requirements, there is no possible recourse. You can, however, manage your weight to meet our requirements .
For pilot and aircrew positions, height specifications vary by aircraft. Those significantly taller or shorter than average may require special screening to ensure they can safely perform operational duties.
Note that applicants must be a minimum of five pounds under their max weight. If the maximum weight for your height is 190 pounds, you must be 185 pounds or less. If an applicant is within five pounds of the maximum weight or over their maximum weight and has a muscular build, they may be authorized to apply.
