Who receives AvIP?

Who receives AvIP?

• A. Enlisted aircrew
• B. Non-rated
• C. Rated officers
• D. All personnel

Answer: (C)

AvIP, or Aviation Incentive Pay, is paid to officers who hold an aeronautical rating. In other words, it goes to rated officers—those designated as aircrew such as pilots, navigators, and other officers with an aeronautical rating who are serving in aviation duties. This pay recognizes the specialized training, responsibilities, and risks of flying missions and helps retain qualified aviation personnel. Enlisted aircrew don’t receive AvIP because they aren’t officers with aeronautical ratings, and non-rated officers or all personnel aren’t eligible.
