The CAA does not set minimum or maximum height or weight requirements for flying any aircraft. However, you must be tall enough to reach the flight controls and not too tall to fit into the cockpit comfortably. Each type of helicopter has a minimum solo weight and a maximum seat weight that is specified by the manufacturer to ensure that Centre of Gravity limits are not exceeded. To train in the Robinson RH22 (2-seater) helicopter, your weight should not be greater than 108kgs/240lbs; to train in the Robinson RH44 (4-seater) helicopter, it should not be greater than 136kgs/300lbs.
