What does ACIP mean in AIRCRAFT & AVIATION

ACIP stands for Aviation Career Incentive Pay, which is additional pay provided to U.S. military aviators who meet certain requirements regarding active duty service and proficiency levels in their respective branches of service.

Aviators in the U.S military must fulfill certain conditions related to their years on active duty and training before they are eligible for ACIP payments. Exact requirements vary depending on the branch of service, so it is best to consult your commanding officer or speak with your base's legal office if you wish to determine if you meet the qualifications for this extra pay.

Payments typically start once an individual has met all the necessary conditions stipulated by their branch of service and it can continue until the completion or cessation of active duty services (whichever comes first).

The amount received depends on several factors such as months served, flight crew position held, training level achieved, etc., so it will likely differ based on situation and branch of service.
