A composite of 75.0 or higher out of 100, with no failed component.
The 2026 Air Force physical fitness assessment is four components: cardio worth 50 points,
waist-to-height ratio worth 20, strength worth 15 and core worth 15. 90 and above is
Excellent.
The 2026 assessment uses a 2-mile run — it replaced the 1.5-mile
run — or the 20-metre HAMR shuttle. Strength is push-ups or hand-release push-ups;
core is sit-ups, the cross-leg reverse crunch or the forearm plank. Waist-to-height is
measured separately, up to five days before the rest of the test: a ratio of 0.49 or
lower scores the full 20 points and 0.60 or higher scores none — but body composition
is the one component with no minimum, so a high ratio cannot fail a PFRA
on its own.
The 2 km walk is the fifth cardio option and it is not scored. It is
go/no-go, for members on a profile, and it carries no points — so no composite can be
produced when it is selected. This calculator says so rather than scoring cardio as zero,
which would understate the result. Your other three components are still scored, and your
unit’s FMS record carries the exempt assessment.
