When the FAA needs exercise data for an applicant with a cardiac or pulmonary condition, it asks for a six-minute walk test recorded on this one-page result sheet. The test must follow American Thoracic Society guidelines, and in most cases the FAA looks for at least 400 meters walked for medical certification or clearance.
The provider who treats the applicant's cardiac or pulmonary condition runs the test, completes every item and signs with the evaluation date. The applicant's name, date of birth, applicant ID and PI number go at the top.
