Who is eligible to receive aeronautical ratings?

• A. Rated Officers
• B. Enlisted Personnel
• C. Warrant Officers
• D. Civilian personnel

Answer: (A)

Aeronautical ratings are the flight-qualified status earned by officers who have completed flight training and earned their wings. This designation is given to those who are designated as rated officers, meaning they are officially qualified to perform aircrew duties such as pilots, navigators, or other flight specialties. Enlisted personnel, civilian personnel, and warrant officers do not receive this designation in the same way, because the rating system is tied to being an officer who has gone through flight training and earned wings. So the group that can receive aeronautical ratings is rated officers.
