Satisfactory completion of the Candidate Fitness Assessment (CFA) is one of the requirements for admission to the U.S. Air Force Academy.

The CFA is a test of strength, agility, speed and endurance. We use it to predict your aptitude for the Academy’s physical program. The results of this test are important in the overall assessment of your admission file, so you should become familiar with the six events in the CFA and practice them to score well.

Your examination may be administered by your Academy Liaison Officer (ALO), by any commissioned officer other than a parent or any teacher holding a physical education degree. It is your responsibility to arrange for a qualified person to conduct your examination.
