Study Notes
Anthropometric Measurements
- Anthropometry is the science of measuring the human body, its parts, and functional capacities.
- Field screening tool for applicants supports rapid assessment of anthropometric suitability.
- Anthropometric measurement procedures and anthropometric restriction coding for both personnel and aircraft have been developed.
Policy for Anthropometric Accommodation
- Accurate anthropometric measurements of naval aviation candidates must be taken before the individual begins the aviation flight physical process.
- Measurements will be taken with the aviation candidate wearing their respective Service's physical training uniform or equivalent for civilian applicants.
Measurement Procedures
- Full measurements are to be conducted by certified personnel (NASC Anthropometric Model Manager, NASC Primary Anthropometric Measuring Technician, or affiliate Anthropometric Measuring Technicians).
- A minimum of two personnel are required to be present while conducting anthropometric measurements.
- Measurements using ADAM require participants to:
- Remove all jewelry, head ware, and shoes.
- Ensure tops do not obscure the arms from elbow to fingertips.
- Ensure tops and bottoms are not excessively baggy, reflective, or contain graphics featuring people or humanoid shapes.
Sitting Height Measurement
- Purpose: to establish the applicant's sitting height.
- Most candidates within a specified range will be able to receive an aviation contract and will not require full anthropometric measurements until starting flight training.
