Dear candidate,

As per the information, the minimum height for both men & women for flying branch is 162.5cm with correlated weight. Also they consider the leg length, thigh length for the measurement criteria. You can search the same query on Internet to get more detailed information about the weight & height measurements for becoming a pilot in India.


Thanks for coming on this site.

Greetings,

the minimum height set by the Indian Air Force for flying branch cadets is 162.5 cm and for ground duty it is 157.5 (unless you belong to the north eastern region).

There are a lot more as part of a pilot's measurements such as sitting posture width and leg measurements (as per IAF flying guidelines)

I am attaching an official link to the relevant info which will be helpful.

Good day!
