An AF Form 469 and AF Form 422 are good for a maximum of how many days?

• A. 90 days
• B. 120 days
• C. 180 days
• D. 365 days

Answer: (D)

The idea being tested is how long medical-duty limitation documents stay valid before a new evaluation is needed. AF Form 469 and AF Form 422 are used to record and communicate medical restrictions and fitness for duty, so there’s a standard window in which those determinations stay current. That window is one year (365 days). After a year, a reevaluation is required to extend or adjust the restriction, ensuring the person’s duty status reflects their most up-to-date medical condition. If the condition resolves sooner, the forms can be closed early; if it lasts longer, a new evaluation updates the documentation.
