Who receives AIP and how many hours must they fly within 90 days to receive this pay?

• A. Pilots and 210 hours
• B. MCCM - Missileers and 210 hours
• C. MCCM and 180 hours
• D. All officers and 210 hours

Answer: (D)

AIP is about recognizing recent flight activity across the officer corps. The idea is that officers who are eligible to fly and who demonstrate sustained aviation duty receive this pay, measured by a 90‑day window. The number of hours in that period is the key threshold, and in this case it’s 210 hours. The point being tested is who qualifies for AIP. The policy here extends to all officers who are authorized to fly and meet the 210-hour requirement within 90 days, not just a specific subgroup. That’s why the best answer is that all officers who accumulate 210 hours in 90 days receive AIP. Other options narrow eligibility to a particular role (like missileers) or use a different hour threshold, which doesn’t align with the stated criteria.
