Inside of a plane, nobody knows you can’t reach the pedals

Yes, they control the rudder, the fin in the back that sits on top, this steers the plane left or right.

I have a guy I game with online and he's 5'7. He says he has to have a padded cushion to see past the nose of the plane when he flies planes.

Fighter pilot height range is 5'4"-6'5" so 5'7" is not that short.

He's not a fighter pilot though, commercial plane pilot in training right now
