Yep, this time it's personal! :gig:

The FAA used to define the "average" pilot as 170 pounds. I've heard rumor it was once 150 pounds. These days, I think the FAA "average male" is something like 200 pounds.

I hate averages. They don't really tell you anything useful. So let's get this over with. The poll is one-answer-only, so round to the nearest answer (the rounding rule here is, below xx5 is the next one down, xx5 and above is the next one up) and click the appropriate box.

This is a private poll - nobody can see whose answer belongs to whom. But I'll clear the ice right off the bat: I usually weigh in at about 168 pounds, so I'm clicking the 170 pounds box.
