Indeed, but why can't they specify the max pilot height and avionics?


Max pilot height is really a tenuous figure. If there's five feet of legroom
and only two feet of headroom, they could claim to accommodate a seven-foot
pilot.

For instance, I used to fly a plane built by a 6'2" man, and I found the leg
room wanting despite being about three inches shorter.

I don't trust any figures about what sizes a pilot an aircraft can take; you
don't really know until it sit in it yourself.
