RMKS/1.  This NAVADMIN announces the Fiscal Year (FY) 24 flight hour 
verification process for conditional Aviation Incentive Pay (AvIP) and 
Hazardous Duty Incentive Pay for Flying (HDIP-F).  In line with reference 
(a), all recipients of conditional AvIP or HDIP-F are required to track 
flight hours per month, and report them to Navy Personnel Command (NPC) AvIP 
Action Officer (PERS-435A).  Commanding Officers (CO) and other reporting 
seniors are responsible for verifying the accuracy and completeness of flight 
hour verification letters for officers under their charge, and reporting such 
by endorsing verification letters on command letterhead.  Templates for the 
reporting senior endorsement, as well as an example of the verification 
letter, can be found on the Navy Personnel Command website at 
https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-Management/Detailing/Officer/Pers-43-
Aviation/OCM/Monthly-Flight-Pay/. 
 
2.  Conditional AvIP may be paid to those aeronautically designated officers 
in the following categories: 
    a.  Aeromedical officers. 
    b.  Aviation officers who would otherwise be eligible for continuous AvIP 
but have not met the months of operational flying requirements at the 12-year 
or 18-year gate. 
    c.  Aviation officers, O6 and below, who have completed the continuous 
AvIP program after 22 years (after passing the 18-year low gate) or 25 years 
(after passing the 18-year high gate). 
 
3.  In order to be eligible for conditional AvIP, an officer must be under 
orders to Duty in a Flying Status Involving Operational or Training Flights 
(DIFOPS), must occupy a billet designated XXX1 or XXX2 (a DIFOPS billet), and 
must fly the minimum hours prescribed in reference (b). 
 
4.  HDIP-F may be paid to non-aeronautically designated officers and 
aeronautically designated Flag Officers required by competent orders to 
participate in regular and frequent aerial flights as crew or non- 
crewmembers.  HDIP-F eligibility requires a non-aeronautically designated 
officer to be under orders to duty involving flying as a technical observer. 
An aeronautically designated Flag officers must be under DIFOPS orders to 
maintain HDIP-F eligibility.  All must fly the minimum hours prescribed in 
reference (b).  Officers entitled to AvIP are not entitled to HDIP-F. 
 
5.  Any officer who received any conditional AvIP or HDIP-F payment during FY 
24 is required to provide total flight hours, by month, from 1 October 2023 
through 30 September 2024 to PERS-435A no later than 30 November 2024. 
Required format for flight hour submissions and CO endorsement letters are 
provided in the templates located on the NPC website at 
https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-Management/Detailing/Officer/Pers-43-
Aviation/OCM/Monthly-Flight-Pay/.  If a member did not complete the minimum 
flight hour requirements as established in reference (b), unearned AvIP/HDIP- 
F will be recouped.  Underpayments will also be corrected.  If no flight 
hours are submitted by 30 November 2024, the officer's entitlement to AvIP or 
HDIP-F will stop and he or she will forfeit the entire FY 24 entitlement to 
conditional AvIP or HDIP-F.  The repayment process of the AvIP received will 
be initiated as applicable.  It is the responsibility of each individual 
recipient of conditional AvIP/HDIP-F to ensure that the flight hour 
verification letter and endorsement are completed in line with reference (a), 
to deliver them on time by e-mail to PERS-435A, and to verify that they have 
been received by PERS-435A (see e-mail contacts below). 
 
6.  Members shall send original flight hour submissions and command 
endorsements by e-mail to the Program Manager at avipandavb.fct@navy.mil.   
If e-mail is not possible, please mail hard copies to: 
    Commander, Navy Personnel Command 
    PERS-435 
    5720 Integrity Drive 
    Millington, TN 38055-4300 
 
7.  Once flight hours are received, verification of hours flown and monthly 
entitlement(s) earned will be calculated by PERS-435A.  Overpayment and 
underpayment cases will be forwarded to Defense Financing and Accounting 
Service for appropriate corrective action.  Negotiation of repayment plans 
for recoupment may be discussed directly with the member's servicing 
personnel office. 
 
8.  Point of contact for AvIP and HDIP-F policy is LT Natasha Reyes (PERS- 
435A), at (901) 874-3953 or via e-mail at avipandavb.fct@navy.mil. 
 
9.  This NAVADMIN will remain in effect until superseded or canceled.
