A survey has shown that the average height of KLM pilots has increased by 18 mm (0.7 in) per decade in the last 20 years. Around 6% are taller than 1905 mm (75.0 in), the upper limit of pilot height for flight deck design. With the use of graphs of the flight deck, we established that the main problem of tall pilots is insufficient legroom. Of all KLM/NLM aircraft types, the Boeing 747-200/300 and the Douglas DC-9 are most uncomfortable for pilots taller than 1960 mm (77.2 in). In the Airbus A310, pilots of 2000 mm (78.7 in) have insufficient legroom. The other aircraft types do not present difficulties for pilots up to 2030 mm (79.9 in). Ergonomic adaptations on the flight decks of the Boeing 747-200/300 and the Airbus A310 are necessary to alleviate the problems of tall pilots. Future aircraft types should be designed to accommodate tall pilots. If ergonomic adaptation of the flight deck is impossible, anthropometric limits for pilot selection have to be employed.
一项调查显示，在过去20年里，荷兰皇家航空（KLM）飞行员的平均身高每十年增加18毫米（0.7英寸）。约6%的飞行员身高超过1905毫米（75.0英寸），这是驾驶舱设计中飞行员身高的上限。通过使用驾驶舱的图表，我们确定高个子飞行员的主要问题是腿部空间不足。在荷兰皇家航空/荷兰国家航空（KLM/NLM）的所有机型中，波音747 - 200/300和道格拉斯DC - 9对于身高超过1960毫米（77.2英寸）的飞行员来说最不舒服。在空中客车A310中，身高2000毫米（78.7英寸）的飞行员腿部空间不足。其他机型对于身高达2030毫米（79.9英寸）的飞行员没有困难。有必要对波音747 - 200/300和空中客车A310的驾驶舱进行人体工程学调整，以缓解高个子飞行员的问题。未来的机型设计应考虑容纳高个子飞行员。如果无法对驾驶舱进行人体工程学调整，就必须采用飞行员选拔的人体测量学限制标准。
