TheAaronP said:30.5 is (from speaking to AFCO Doctors) the highest you can be, assuming they consider letting you into the +25% section, which is for people who carry a lot of muscle mass, or generally just have a larger build.
It all depends on what build type they consider you to be as well, small, medium or large.
To give you can example, someone who is 173cm tall, can weight a maximum of 91kg assuming he has a large build (Taken from the chart the AFCO Doctors go by btw, this is also the +25%).
30 is actually pretty high anyway, you should be below 25 ideally.
It is worth just calling them though, its in plain black and white and they have all the information with regards to BMI.

Not true, I had my medical a couple of months ago and had a BMI of 28.19 and was classed TMU. Was told to lose 5 kg and come back when I'd lost it. Went back after a month with BMI of 27.5 and was accepted. So get under 28 and you'll be fine. And some Docs dont take into account the fact you may have a muscular build. I play rugby, am built like a brick shithouse and have a bodyfat level of 12%.
