At my last FAA medical, my doc said that NEW WEIGHT STANDARDS are coming and that exceeding those standards will be ground for AUTOMATIC DENIAL of your medical certificate.
Don't know for sure but suspect it's a fallout for the "Over 65" debate.
I haven't heard a thing about that anywhere. I'm not saying the doc is wrong, but "automatic denial" (in the sense of permanent rejection) would be a little extreme. At worst, they'd probably approve certification with "additional tests". We'll see when and if the rules come out. If in fact they parallel the blood pressure standards you could be about the size of a city bus and still be okay.
And sooner or later they'll reject some 5' 7" 250 pound weightlifter with 3%
body fat. So much for weight tables!
