Hi Guys. I have a question. Will my height disqualify me from army flight school or WOFT? My height is 5 Feet 2 Inches. The 64 is my dream.

Although the minimum is 64" to fly for the Army, there have been instances, very few, where personnel under this requirement were allowed to fly. The only true way to find out if the Army will allow you to fly is to apply for a waiver. If the branch says non-waiverable, then you have your answer. Until you get a definitive no, you can get a yes.

The AF just announced they are getting rid of height requirements to fly. Just a thought

The US Air Force is removing height restrictions for pilots, which will allow more women to serve...
Previously, applicants shorter than 5'4" or taller than 6'5" had to submit a waiver. Though most height waivers were approved, the restrictions eliminated a large share of the US female population.

I’ve had an LT who couldn’t have the seat adjust high enough for DEP and able to have full collective movement that flew. Just had to sit lower than the DEP. Maybe an option.
