Per DAFMAN 36-2905:

"Medical Exemptions. Airmen with valid medical profiles (AF Form 469, Duty Limiting Condition Report) will be evaluated only on physical fitness components they are cleared to perform. Exemptions are component-specific; a temporary or permanent medical condition that prevents participation in one component does not automatically exempt an Airman from the remaining components."

⚠️ DAFMAN 36-2905 Requirement: "Airmen must print out a physical copy of their AF Form 469 and present it to the FAC or UFPM prior to testing."

Prorated Scores. If an Airman is medically exempt from one or more components of the Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA), the overall score will be calculated based on a proration of the remaining assessed components. The final score is determined by dividing the points earned on the completed components by the maximum point value of those same components, then multiplying by 100.

Examples of How Scoring Works with AF Form 469 Waivers

When you have a medical profile, the database (myFitness) automatically alters the math denominator. Instead of a 100-point total scale, your total possible points shrink to match only the events your doctor cleared you to do.

Example 1: One Component Exempt (Run Only)

A member is exempt from the cardiorespiratory component (50 points) but cleared for all muscular fitness events and the waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) body composition measurement.
Available Components:
• Body Composition (WHtR): Max 20 points
• Push-ups: Max 15 points
• Sit-ups: Max 15 points
• Total Possible Points: 50
Performance: The member completely maxes out their push-ups, sit-ups, and passes the WHtR perfectly, earning all 50 available points.
The Math:

Overall Score = (
              50 Points Earned
              50 Points Possible
            
) × 100 = 100%

Result: Excellent (100).

Example 2: Two Components Exempt (Run & Push-ups)

A member has a severe shoulder and ankle injury. Their AF Form 469 explicitly exempts them from running and push-ups, meaning they can only do sit-ups and the body composition check.
Available Components:
• Body Composition (WHtR): Max 20 points
• Sit-ups: Max 15 points
• Total Possible Points: 35
Performance: They max out their sit-ups (15 points) and get full points on the body composition check (20 points). They earned 35 points total.
The Math:

Overall Score = (
              35 Points Earned
              35 Points Possible
            
) × 100 = 100%

Result: Excellent (100).

Example 3: Missing a Max Out (Run Exempt)

Let's say the runner is exempt from cardio (leaving 50 points possible), but they don't quite max out the gym floor. They get a perfect 20 on body composition, 12 on push-ups, and 13 on sit-ups.
• Total Points Earned: 20 + 12 + 13 = 45 points
• Total Points Possible: 50 points
The Math:

Overall Score = (
              45
              50
            
) × 100 = 90%

Result: Excellent (90.0).

⚠️ The Pass Rule:

Even if the math prorates you into a high percentage, you must still hit the minimum required raw performance score for each individual event you attempt. If you score a 95% on prorated math but fail to hit the absolute baseline minimum number of push-ups for your age group, the entire test is automatically marked as a "Satisfactory/Excellent - Fail" due to a component failure.

Select the AF Form 469 profile type to configure testing restrictions and scoring per DAFMAN 36-2905.

Exemption Category (DAFMAN 36-2905)

1. Modality Exemption (Exercise-Specific)

Restricted from a specific exercise, but cleared for an alternate exercise in the same component category. (Tests clearing alternate; scored out of 100).

"Modality Exemptions are given for a specific exercise. The member must choose a different exercise from the same component category if cleared to be assessed on them. Members with a modality exemption will execute a cleared alternate exercise from that component category, and their composite score is based out of 100 points." (Para 4.1.3 & Para 3.10.7)

2. Entire Component Exemption (Temporary - PFRA Hold)

Restricts all exercises in one or more components. Prohibited from official testing; status displays as Exempt / PFRA Hold.

"Members with a temporary component or composite medical exemption will be placed on PFRA Hold and are prohibited from taking official physical assessments until cleared. Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR) screening must be accomplished for all members unless specifically contraindicated on the AF Form 469." (Para 4.1.2 & Para 4.1.1)

3. Enduring Condition with ALC (Assignment Limitation Code)

Permanent/enduring restriction with Assignment Limitation Code. Assesses cleared components only (Score = Earned / Available Cleared × 100).

"Members with an approved Assignment Limitation Code (ALC) with enduring physical component limitations will assess based on the components and modalities medically approved on their AF Form 469. Composite Score = (Earned Points ÷ Cleared Available Points) × 100." (Para 4.1.2.1 & Para 3.9)

4. Full Composite Exemption (Unable to Test Any Component)

Exempt from all physical components. Prohibited from physical testing (Composite Exempt status).

"Full Composite Exemptions restrict all physical assessment components. Members with a full composite exemption are prohibited from physical testing, and their status is recorded as Composite Exempt with no numerical score assigned." (Para 4.1.1 & Para 3.10.6)

Select Restricted Exercises (No-Go Modalities):

"For members with a Modality Exemption (Category 1) or an approved ALC with enduring component limitations (Category 3), select all specific exercise modalities contraindicated on the AF Form 469. Members must execute a cleared alternate exercise from the same component category." (DAFMAN 36-2905 Para 4.1.3 & Para 4.1.2.1)
