Is there a weight limit for commercial pilots?
There are no weight requirements laid down by any country or aviation regulator but it’s kind of implied. The preferred height for pilots is between 5ft 4″ and 6ft 4″. The BMI should preferably between 18 and 25 but this can be overlooked on passing some additional medical tests to a certain limit.
Can you be a pilot if you’re overweight?
Yes, but there are some limitations to take into account. The limits of obesety is a maximum BMI at 35. Like if you are 180 cm and weight over 120 kg you could lose your medical and license.
Can I be a pilot if im overweight?
Currently, the FAA only allows fat or obese people licenses for pilot-in-command of non-rigid lighter-than-air aircraft, commonly called blimps. There are no licenses for rigid lighter-than-air craft (Zeppelins).
Do you need pilot’s license fly ultralight?
— there’s also a great deal of freedom, as ultralight pilots aren’t licensed in any way. Even though you don’t need any kind of license or certificate to fly ultralights, training should be considered absolutely mandatory.
Which pilot can fly any plane?
Because the training requirements are more intensive than that of the recreational or sport pilot, private pilots are allowed to do much more, like fly at night and at controlled airports. Private pilots can also fly any aircraft in the category allowed.
Do you need an ATP certificate to fly an airliner?
However, to fly an airliner as a scheduled air carrier pilot, then yes, an ATP is required as this type of flight would not fall under part 91 or part 135 of the FARs, but instead part 121 which requires that all pilots have ATP certificates.

Do you need an ATPL to fly Part 121?
The “captain in the right-hand seat” discussion got me thinking. As of 2013, you need an ATPL to operate any plane operating under Part 121 (as part of an “airline”). Both Captain and FO need this level of license, and new Captains require at least 1000 hours as FO.
Can a non-US citizen get an FAA Pilot’s License?
Plenty of non-US citizens – myself included – hold FAA pilot’s licenses (although I’m not an ATP). This question has more details, but as long as you’re legally in the US with an appropriate visa, and you have TSA approval for training, then you can get any FAA license you want (or can afford!).
Are there any limitations to being a commercial pilot?
No such limitations apply to normal commercial transport pilots. Unless you’re already a permanent resident, you may wonder how to become one. In most cases, someone else – a family member or an employer – must petition on your behalf, you can’t apply yourself.
