Aspiring Air Force pilots: Don’t let height standards get in the way by Jennifer Gonzalez Air Education and Training Command Public Affairs JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas (AFNS)—Those who aspire to one day become a U.S. Air Force aviator must first meet several requirements, including height, before they are considered for pilot training. For those who fall outside of the Air Force’s height require- ments, height waivers are available. “Don’t automatically assume you don’t qualify because of your height,” said Maj. Gen. Craig Wills, 19th Air Force commander. “We have an in- credibly thorough process for determining whether you can safely operate our assigned aircraft. Don’t let a number on a website stop you from pur- suing a career with the best Air Force in the world.” The current height requirement to become an Air Force pilot is a stand- ing height of 5 feet, 4 inches to 6 feet, 5 inches and a sitting height of 34- 40 inches. These standard height requirements have been used for years to ensure candidates will safely fit into an operational aircraft and each of the prerequisite training aircraft. “We’re rewriting these rules to better capture the fact that no two people are the exact same, even if they are the same overall height,” Wills said.

This notice includes the complete list of Federal facilities on the Docket and also identifies Federal facilities reported to EPA since the last update of the Docket on August17, 2015. In addition to the list of additions to the Docket, this notice includes a section with revisions of the previous Docket list. Thus, the revisions in this update include 7 additions, 22 corrections, and 42 deletions to the Docket since the previous update. At the time of publication of this notice, the new total number of Federal facilities listed on the Docket is 2,326.

The AMS will go on to fly aboard the last space shuttle mission early next year. "For me, it was emotional to leave CERN," said Mr. Roberto Battiston, an Italian physics professor with the 16- year AMS project. "But when we were flying, it was easy to forget about that. The plane is so large, so self contained ... like a different world." Mr. Battiston said he admired the aircrew's professionalism and how they remained so calm in a stressful environment.
