The services designate certain positions as nonflying positions to be filled by aviators. According to service officials, the duties of the nonflying positions require skills that only aviators possess. Additionally, the positions provide career diversification opportunities for aviators. Incumbents in nonflying positions receive the same compensation benefits as aviators in flying positions. Our review of nonflying positions focused on (1) the number of aviators (pilots and navigators) that are assigned to nonflying positions in the Army, the Navy, the Marine Corps, and the Air Force; (2) the amount of aviation career incentive pay (Acip) and aviation continuation pay (AcP) paid to aviators in nonflying positions; (3) whether the services implement Acip and AcP uniformly; and (4) whether the nonflying positions affect the number of aviators the services plan to train to meet future requirements.
