Pre-commissioning Anthropometric Requirements

Anthropometric measurements are required as part of the pre-commissioning aviation flight physical per the MANMED, chapter 15. Initial anthropometric compatibility is assessed during the aviation application process. Applicants, candidates, and students can complete anthropometric measurements at one of the 14 anthropometric measuring sites across the country. Please see Points of Contact to schedule an anthropometric evaluation at an anthropometric certified site.

Upon checking in to NASC each NIFE student will receive an anthropometric measurement appointment. Each student is measured to ensure that he/she is anthropometrically compatible within two fleet training pipelines.

Students are weighed to ensure that they meet the minimum and do not exceed the maximum weight allowable within Naval Aviation. (Minimum allowable weight is 103 lbs. and the maximum allowable weight is 245 lbs.)

Once measurements are taken they are recorded within a database and copies are provided to student control to be included with the student’s Aviation Training Jacket.

Requests for remeasures while at NASC are considered on a case-by-case basis.
 

NIFE is the first place every naval aviator and naval flight officer begins his or her naval aviation career. New check-ins should contact Flight Management with questions about onboarding.

a) If you have NOT received the COVID-19 vaccine (meaning you have not received BOTH doses of the COVID -19 vaccine), you will begin a 14-day restriction of movement (ROM). Following completion of ROM, you will attend a check-in meeting.
b) If you HAVE received the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine BUT it has been less than 14 days since your second dose, you are required to ROM for the remaining days until it has been a full 2 weeks post- second dose; then you will attend a check-in meeting as soon as Flight Management coordinates it. For example, if you received your second dose 9 days ago, you will be required to ROM an additional 5 days before you can schedule and attend your in-person check-in meeting with Flight Management.
c) If you HAVE received the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine AND it has been 14 days since your second dose, you are NOT required to ROM. You will attend a check-in meeting as soon as Flight Management coordinates it.

2) Your physical check-in meeting will be coordinated by Flight Management and will be in the proper uniform of the day. You will receive an email from Flight Management of all the documents that you must to bring to the check-in meeting, including original endorsed orders, fitness reports, Page 2, RED/DA, and completed Navy e-Learning certificates.
