Navy PFA Calculator

Score the PRT and BCA in one place, with full support for the swim, bike and elliptical alternates and the approved-equipment calorie targets.

The alternate cardio problem

If you are not running the 1.5 mile, working out what you need on an elliptical or bike means finding the right piece of equipment on the approved list and then finding the right calorie figure for your age and sex. The app carries that list, so you enter the machine and get the number.

PRT and BCA together

Both halves of the assessment score in the same place, and both are kept in your history. Graphs across cycles show whether a category is drifting well before the next PFA tells you the hard way.

Standards and accuracy

Scoring follows OPNAVINST 6110.1J as published at the app's last update. Every effort was made to match the standards, but PRIMS is always the official record. Check it for anything that counts.

Common questions

Is this official?

No. It is an independent app that calculates against the published instruction. PRIMS remains the official standard.

Which alternate cardio events are supported?

Swim, stationary bike and elliptical, with the approved equipment list built in.

Does it score BCA as well?

Yes, both PRT and BCA.
