No. You must have your Anthropometric Evaluation conducted at a Naval Aviation Schools Command Affiliated Site.
 

Per OPNAVINST 3710.37A: Because the consequences of assigning an anthropometrically incompatible crewmember to an aircraft can be both costly and potentially catastrophic, waivers shall not be submitted nor considered for prospective Naval Aviators/Naval Flight Officers.

Sitting Eye Height – derived from a calculation based on Sitting Height. Used to determine applicant’s ability to see over the instrument panel in all flight conditions.

SEH-TTR – derived from a calculation based on Sitting Eye Height and Thumb Tip Reach.

To assess the applicant’s ability to reach all controls in various locations within cockpits.
 

To assess the applicant’s overall anthropometric compatibility using DON Aviation Field Anthropometry Screening Standards.

Pre-Commissioned Applicants: Once found anthropometrically incompatible, the applicant should receive a repeat measurement under the supervision of a naval flight surgeon. If the subsequent measurement results in compatibility, the applicant can continue with the aviation flight physical. If the applicant is again found anthropometrically incompatible for Aviation, the applicant will receive the opportunity to receive a final re-measure from the Anthropometrics Model Manager at NASC in Pensacola, Florida.

Post-Commissioned Applicants: Once found anthropometrically incompatible, the applicant will receive a repeat measurement by the Anthropometrics Model Manager at NASC. If found anthropometrically incompatible, applicant could be attrited from the Aviation Training Pipeline, and sent to a Redesignation Board.

To ensure adequate ejection seat clearance and individual’s ability to fully maneuver the rudder pedals.
 

It is essential to accurately match prospective and designated aviators to appropriate aircraft to maximize safety and promote human performance. - “I need to make sure I fit in the cockpit of the aircraft I will be flying.”
 

To establish the applicant’s sitting height; to ensure adequate canopy clearance; used to derive the sitting eye height measurement used for out-of-cockpit visibility.
 

Anthropometric Restriction Codes (ARCs) are set by NAVAIR. ARCs for each category in naval aircraft can be found in the NAVAIRINST 3710.9E and NAVAIR M-3710.1.
 

To ensure applicant meets minimum and maximum weight limitations for naval aviation (103-245 lbs.) to ensure safety in ejection and stroking seats in naval aircraft.
