How many hours per calendar month must rated officers with conditional AvIP fly to be entitled to pay?

• A. 2 hours per calendar month
• B. 8 hours per calendar month
• C. 4 hours per calendar month
• D. 6 hours per calendar month

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is the monthly minimum flight time needed to qualify for Aviation Incentive Pay on conditional AvIP. For rated officers in this status, entitlement hinges on actually flying a minimum amount in the calendar month. The correct understanding is that four hours of flight time per calendar month is the threshold. If you log four hours or more in a given month, you’re eligible for the pay for that month (assuming other eligibility criteria are met). If you fly less than four hours, you don’t receive AvIP for that month. The other numbers aren’t the defined minimum, so they don’t establish entitlement on their own.
