DA Form 3349 Authorization
The 12,000-meter stationary bike is a profile-authorized alternate aerobic event, not an elective substitute for the two-mile run. The Soldier's current DA Form 3349 must authorize this specific event. Test personnel should use the profile's limitations and current administration guidance rather than assuming every Soldier who cannot run may bike.
Pass/Fail Scoring Mechanics
The event is pass/fail. A time equal to or faster than the cutoff in the selected age-and-sex cell passes; a slower time fails. The alternate event does not use the two-mile run's graded 60-to-100-point scale, and extra speed does not add points.
How to Use the Calculator Correctly
Select the Soldier's age group and sex, then enter the official completion time in minutes and seconds. The result uses the exact published table cell. It does not interpolate between age groups, round a slower time down, or substitute a single male/female cutoff for all ages.
Boundary example: if the displayed cutoff is 26:12, 26:12 passes and 26:13 fails. Confirm that the equipment and test setup are approved locally before treating an estimate as a record result.

12,000m Bike — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum allowed time for the 12,000m Bike?
There is no single all-ages time. Select age and sex above or find the applicable row in the complete table.
Can I choose the bike instead of the two-mile run?
No. The current DA Form 3349 must authorize the stationary bike alternate event.
Can I get 100 points on the bike?
No. The alternate event is pass/fail; a faster time does not create a higher score.
Does the cutoff change with age?
Yes. The published table uses ten age groups and separate male and female times.
