Understanding Your Air Force PFA Score

The U.S. Air Force Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) is a critical measure of an Airman's physical readiness. It ensures that every member is capable of meeting the physical demands of military service. This calculator is designed to help you accurately estimate your score based on the latest DAFMAN 36-2905 standards, providing a clear picture of your performance across all required components. Achieving a good score is not just about passing; it's about striving for excellence and maintaining peak physical condition. For detailed official guidelines, please refer to the Air Force Regulations Guide or official .mil resources.

PFA Component Insights

Aerobic Fitness

Measures cardiovascular endurance, vital for sustained physical activity. Typically assessed via a 1.5-mile run, with alternatives like the 20m HAMR shuttle run or 2km walk for eligible members.

Muscular Strength & Endurance

Assesses upper body and core strength/endurance. Standard components are push-ups and sit-ups, with alternatives like hand-release push-ups, cross-leg reverse crunches, or forearm planks available.

Body Composition (WHtR)

The Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR) is a pass/fail component assessing body composition as an indicator of long-term health risks. A WHtR of ≤ 0.55 is required to pass.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How is the composite PFA score calculated?▶
The composite score is calculated based on points earned in the aerobic, strength (e.g., push-ups & sit-ups or approved alternatives), and body composition (WHtR) components. A minimum total score (typically 75 points) is required to pass, along with meeting minimums in each scored component. Our calculator shows you this breakdown. For detailed scoring tables, please refer to the official Standards Charts.
What are the minimum passing criteria for each component?▶
Minimum passing scores vary by age and gender for each component (e.g., run time, push-up repetitions). The Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR) is a pass/fail component. You must meet all minimums to pass the overall assessment. See the detailed Standards Charts for specific values.
How does the Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR) affect my overall assessment?▶
The WHtR is a critical pass/fail component of the Air Force PFA. If you do not meet the required WHtR threshold (typically ≤ 0.55), you will not pass the overall assessment, regardless of your scores in other components. This calculator helps you determine your WHtR status.
Are there official alternate exercises recognized by the Air Force?▶
Yes, the Air Force recognizes several alternate exercises for individuals with medical profiles or other limitations (e.g., HAMR run, 2km walk, hand-release push-ups, cross-leg reverse crunches, forearm plank). This calculator includes scoring for these approved alternatives. For complete details on eligibility and procedures, consult the official Regulations Guide.
Where can I find the official DAFMAN 36-2905?▶
DAFMAN 36-2905, 'Air Force Physical Fitness Program,' is the governing document. You can typically find it on official Air Force publications websites (e-Publishing). Our Regulations Guide provides a summary of key aspects.
How often is the Air Force PT test administered?▶
Airmen are typically required to take the Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) annually. However, those who score 90 or above may be eligible for a 12-month exemption, taking the test biannually. Always consult your unit fitness program manager (UFPM) for specific scheduling and requirements.
