Who this tends to fit
Typical coach seats are about 30 inches of pitch and 17 inches of width. Shorter legs and narrower seated hips tend to clear those dimensions more often. Knee room and hip width are the usual pinch points — not body weight by itself.

Why we grade it this way
The letter is how often people with your sex, height, and weight would clear the hard (clearance) dimensions. Comfort can drop an A or B by one band. Rankings use NHANES; body proportions use an ANSUR II–based model.
