Section 1

AVIATION INCENTIVE PAY (AvIP).  This is career incentive pay for aeronautically designated officers and enlisted who engage in aviation service on a career basis.  Entitlement provisions are set forth in the DOD 7000.14-R Financial Management Regulation, Volume 7A.  An explanation of AvIP, terminology, and assignment criteria are contained in MCO 1000.6_ Assignment, Classification, and Travel System Manual (ACTSMAN) (MCO P1001R.1 for reserve members).  Refer to SECNAVINST 7220.88 for UAS-AVIP and BUPERSINST 1329.4F for Enlisted UAS-CSIP entitlement. Effective 17 October 1998, only an officer's Aviation Service Entry Date (ASED) is used as a factor in calculating AvIP entitlement.  For Officers, there are two types of Aviation Incentive Pay (AVIP) as follows: AVIP – Manned Aircraft – Aviation Incentive Pay (MCTFS 946 RMK) UAS-AVIP – Unmanned Aerial Systems – Aviation Incentive Pay (MCTFS 905 RMK) Note:  Aviation Incentive Pay (AvIP) is formerly known as Aviation Career Incentive Pay (ACIP). Officers piloting manned aircraft in receipt of AVIP will be reflected on the AVIATION-CAR-INCEN-PAY-946-RMK.  Officers operating Unmanned Aerial Systems in receipt of UAS-AVIP will be reflected on the UAS-AVIATION-INCEN-905-RMK (UAS-AVIP).  Enlisted operators of Unmanned Aerial Systems with PMOS equal 7314 and ADMOS equal 8022 in receipt of UAS-CSIP will be reflected on the UAS-CRITITCAL-INCEN-906-RMK. The UAS-AVIP and UAS-CSIP entitlements are for Active Component and Active Reserve (AR) only.  There is no entitlement to UAS-AVIP and UAS-CSIP for the Reserve Component.

Section 2

Permanent flight orders issued by the Commandant of the Marine Corps (MMOA-2) assign aeronautically designated Marines.  Officers and Enlisted Marines holding Primary MOS equal 7301, 7318 (UAS-AVIP), 7314 (UAS-CSIP), and 7380, 7500-7599, 8042 or 8059 (AVIP) are designated to flying status.  Effective November 1st, 2023 (01-Nov-2023), aeronautically designated officers with PMOS equal 7301 or 7318 are entitled to UAS-AVIP (905 RMK).  Aeronautically designated Enlisted Marines with PMOS equal 7314 and ADMOS equal 8022 are entitled to UAS-CSIP (906 RMK).  Thereafter, PCS orders for these members will specify a duty assignment of either Duty Involving Flight Operations (DIFOP), Duty Involving Flight Denied (DIFDEN), or Duty Involving Flight Denied-2 (DIFDEN-2).

Section 3

AvIP is a continuous entitlement for the first 12 years of a member's aviation service, regardless of duty assignment.  For Officers, Operational flying gates have been established at the end of the 12th and 18th years of aviation service.  For Enlisted Marines, operational flying gates have been established at the end of the 10th and 16th years of aviation service.  Marines whose requirement to pass these gates has not been waived, and who subsequently fails to pass a gate, will no longer be eligible to receive continuous AVIP/UAS-AVIP/UAS-CSIP.  However, if the Marine is assigned to an operational flying billet under DIFOP orders, he/she shall be eligible to receive monthly AVIP/UAS-AVIP/UAS-CSIP, paid at the same rate as continuous AVIP/UAS-AVIP/UAS-CSIP.  An Officer or an Enlisted Marine assigned to a DIFDEN-2 billet is only entitled to receive AVIP/UAS-AVIP/UAS-CSIP for 48 months while in the DIFDEN-2 status.  When he/she transfers to a DIFOP or DIFDEN billet the AVIP/UAS-AVIP/UAS-CSIP pay entitlement will resume. The MCTFS DIFDEN-2 Lapse Date will be reset from the previously captured lapse date equal YYYYMMDD to 00000000.  Additionally, the MCTFS DIFDEN-2 status (counter) will reset to zero months. Note #1:  HQMC(Aviation Plans) can grant a waiver to the DIFDEN-2 Lapse Date, and reset the Lapse Date to 00000000, by reporting a TTC 0340/000 DESIGCAT ‘4’.

(I.E. Update the flight status from DIFOP to DIFDEN).

Section 4

When a 946 RMK (AVIP), 905 RMK (UAS-AVIP) or 906 RMK (UAS-CSIP) is built or updated, (I.E. Upon JOIN, or when a change for MOS, BMOS, or MCC is reported), MCTFS will interrogate the BMOS, MCC, and the Program Element Number (PEN Code) to determine DIFDEN or DIFDEN-2 status.  When a Marine enters a DIFDEN-2 status a MCTFS advisory will be generated and sent to MOL that states that AVIP, UAS-AVIP, or UAS-CSIP will only continue for 48 months. A) AvIP Pay Codes for DIFOP are Active Duty (11109), Active Reserve (AR) (31109), and Reserve (55112).  AvIP Pay Codes for DIFDEN are Active Component (11110), Active Reserve (AR) (31110), and Reserve (55113).  AvIP Pay Codes for DIFDEN-2 are Active Duty (10307), Active Reserve (AR) (30307), and Reserve Component (55167). B) UAS-AVIP Pay Codes DIFOP are Active Component (11111) and Active Reserve (AR) (30309).  UAS-AVIP Pay Codes for DIFDEN are Active Component (11112) and Active Reserve (30310).  UAS-AVIP Pay Codes for DIFDEN-2 are Active Component (11113) and Active Reserve (AR) (30311). C) UAS-CSIP Pay Codes for DIFOP are Active Component (21111) and Active Reserve (AR) (30312).  UAS-AVIP Pay Codes for DIFDEN-2 are Active Component (11113) and Active Reserve (AR) (31303).

Section 5

For Enlisted UAS-CSIP, the JOIN Transaction (TTC 0020/002 (JOIN – DIFOP) or TTC 0020/003 (JOIN – DIFDEN) will start UAS-CSIP.  The entitlement for UAS-CSIP can also be reported by distinct DIFOP/DIFDEN TTC 464 (Duty Involving Flying Operational – DIFOP) or

TTC 465 (Duty Involving Flying Denied (DIFDEN).  When an Active Component

aeronautically designated officer entitled to AVIP or UAS-AVIP reports to a unit or to join an aeronautically designated Reserve officer to Active Duty, the clerk must use the officer's orders as the source document to report the join, using the correct Flight Status documented on the orders (DIFOP, DIFDEN or DIFDEN-2).  The reporting of any of the below join statements will place the member in the correct Flight Status, will calculate the officer's entitlement to AVIP/UAS-AVIP based on the amount of the member's operational flying time and whether or not the member has passed the required gates, and will auto-generate the entitlement to AVIP/UAS-AVIP in the next cycle with the correct pay code.  Additionally, MCTFS will then either start or stop the member's operational flying clock as necessary.  When a JOIN for DIFDEN is reported, MCTFS will interrogate the BMOS, MCC and PEN Code to determine if DIFDEN or DIFDEN-2 applies and assign the appropriate flight status. Report as follows:

NOTE:  When TTC 176 is reported assigning MOS of 8003 (General Officer) on a General Aviation Officer, the Flight Status will be changed to ‘blank’ and the Flight Status date will be set to ‘00000000’.

Section 6

To join aeronautically designated personnel to a Reserve unit, the appropriate Reserve join entry must be reported, followed by one of the below entries.  Additionally, one of the below entries must be reported on ANY officer, Active Component, Active Reserve (AR), Reserve Component, or an Enlisted Marine entitled to UAS-CSIP, whose flight status changes during an assignment. Report Flight Status as follows: (NOTE:  For UAS-AVIP and UAS-CSIP the reporting of TTC 464 (DUTY INVOLVING FLYING OPERATIONAL – DIFOP) or TTC 465 (DUTY INVOLVING FLYING DENIED – DIFDEN) will result in MCTFS interrogating the Marines PMOS, BMOS, MCC, and Program Element Number Code (PEN Code) to determine DIFOP, DIFDEN, or DIFDEN-2 status.  For UAS-AVIP all three statuses of DIFOP, DIFDEN, or DIFDEN-2 are applicable.  For UAS-CSIP, and for an Enlisted Marine, only DIFOP or DIFDEN-2 are applicable.  When a TTC 465 is reported for an Officer in receipt of AVIP (the 946 RMK), MCTFS will perform similar edits of the Marines PMOS, BMOS, MCC, and Program Element Number Code (PEN Code) to determine if DIFDEN or DIFDEN-2 applies).

Section 7

OPERATIONAL FLYING GATES.  The passage, failure, or waiver of operational flying gates may only be reported by the Commandant of the Marine Corps (548XX) (see section below for reporting instructions).  IN MOST CASES, MCTFS[FCPJ1]  will calculate and populate this information. [FCPJ2]  In certain situations, MCTFS will be unable to determine the month and year in which a gate may have been passed.  When this situation is encountered, MCTFS will generate an advisory to the unit and to MMOA, stating, 'MR INDICATES MBR HAS SUFFICIENT OPFLY TIME TO PASS GATE ___.  UNABLE TO DETERMINE DATE.  RESEARCH AND CONTACT MMOA FOR ADJ.  ' Gate Information is displayed on the AvIP User View Screen in both MCTFS and Marine Online and on the member's LES.  It is important to remember that operational flying time ONLY accrues when a member is assigned DIFOP orders. Gate passage requirements are as follows: a.  All aeronautically designated officers are entitled to continuous AvIP for the first 12 years of aviation service, counted from the Aviation Service Entry Date, regardless of duty assignment (DIFOP or DIFDEN) during the intervening years, so long as that officer's Primary MOS is 7380 or 7500-7599. b.  Aeronautically designated officers must obtain 8 years of operational flying time within the first 12 years of aviation service, counted from the officer's Aviation Service Entry Date, to pass Gate One and be entitled to continuous AvIP to the 18th year of aviation service, regardless of duty assignment during the intervening years.  An officer who has obtained six years of operational flying time within the first 12 years of aviation service may apply to Headquarters Marine Corps (MMOA-2) for a waiver to the eight-year requirement. c.  Aeronautically designated officers who obtain 10 years of operational flying time within the first 18 years of aviation service are considered to have passed Gate Two 'Low,' and are entitled to continuous AvIP to the 22d year of aviation service, regardless of duty assignment during the intervening years. d.  Aeronautically designated officers who obtain 12 years of operational flying time within the first 18 years of aviation service are considered to have passed Gate Two 'High,' and are entitled to continuous AvIP to the 25th year of aviation service, regardless of duty assignment during the intervening years. e.  An officer who has passed Gate One may apply for a waiver to the Gate Two requirement. f.  Entitlement to continuous AvIP ceases for an aeronautically designated officer, colonel and below, upon reaching the 25th year of aviation service.  If the officer is issued DIFOP orders past the 25th year of aviation service, however, he/she will be entitled to monthly AvIP for the duration of those orders. g.  Aeronautically designated warrant officers (those holding a Primary MOS of 7380) are not required to pass gates and are entitled to receive AvIP at the over 14 years of aviation service rate, without reduction.  Gate passage/failure will, in most cases, be populated by routines in PUREX.  In those cases, in which PUREX cannot determine the month/year in which the gate was passed or failed, the Commandant of the Marine Corps (MMOA) must report the passage or failure.  Waivers to gate passage requirements cannot be populated by PUREX and can only be reported by the Commandant of the Marine Corps (MMOA).  Report as follows: h.  Aeronautically designated Enlisted Marines (those holding a Primary MOS of 7314) have distinct flight gases as follows: 1) FLIGHT GATE #1: 6 years DIFOP in the first 10 years of Aviation Service rates continues UAS-CSIP until 17 years of Aviation Service. 2) FLIGHT GATE #2 (LOW): 9 years DIFOP in the first 16 years of Aviation Service rates continuous UAS-CSIP until 22 years of Aviation Service. 3) FLIGHT GATE #2 (HIGH): 11 years DIFOP in first 16 years of Aviation Service rates continuous UAS-CSIP until 25 years of Aviation Service.

CREDITING, STOPPING, & CHECKING/DEBITING AVB The AVB is reflected under the AVIATION OFFICER BONUS PAY 942 RMK.  The following four TTC’s are used to process the Aviation BONUS (AVB):

TTC 477 START
TTC 478 STOP
TTC 479 SUSPEND/UNSUSPEND RESERVE AVB
TTC 548 CHEK AVB

• If a new AVB is being reported and the Marine has an existing AVB, report the TTC 478 STOP on a cycle prior to reporting a TTC 477. Do not report the STOP and START on the same cycle. - The START cannot process if the existing 942 RMK does not have a TERMINATION DATE. - The STOP will terminate the AVB, but it will not recoup (Check) any of the unearned amount. - The SUSPEND / UNSUSPEND is specific to the Reserves. - The CHEK AVB will also terminate the AVB if it has not already been stopped.

Section 13

TTC 477 will allow the Commandant of the Marine Corps (MMOA) to credit (or START) the AVB (Not to exceed the current AVB Award Level authority).  SEQ 003 award level is $300,000 and builds unequal anniversary installments, with the first installment equal $100,000, and the anniversary installments equal $40,000.  SEQ 000 builds equal AVB installment amounts.  To credit AVB, report as follows:

TTC 477 to properly post to MCTFS.

Section 14

TTC 478 000 (STOP AVB) will terminate the AVB but it will NOT issue an AVB recoupment. If a Marine is currently in receipt of an AVB and has been approved for a new Award Level, report the TTC 478 for the Anniversary Date.  This will terminate the current AVB and allow a new TTC 477 to be reported. Report as follows:

Section 16

TTC 548 CHEK AVB. The effective date of the TTC 548 recoupment will also be the TERMINATION DATE if the AVB has not yet been terminated.  TTC 548 only needs to be reported if the Marine has lost the entitlement to the AVB.  Or, if the Marine is in receipt of a new AVB and an installment for the old AVB has been paid and processed by End of Month U&E. To determine if a TTC 548 is required: 1) Research and review the Marine’s 942-RMK that is being stopped. 2) To the left of the anniversary date is a column labeled [PD] for “paid”.  If it is a [N] for “No”, then End of Month U&E has not generated the actual payment. If the installment was paid with the Mid-month payday, or has been paid as a Special Payment, a TTC 548 does not need to be reported if a TTC 478 STOP is reported prior to EoM U&E.  Instead, End of Month U&E will debit and back out the installment payment. 3) If the “paid” column reflects a “Y” for “yes” then a TTC 548 needs to be reported for the anniversary date and amount.

TTC 548 000 (CHEK AVB) has been modified to allow the Commandant of the

Marine Corps (MMOA) the ability to check and stop AVB.  This TTC was only reportable by Disbursing/Finance Offices via DTMS and MCTFS prior to this modification.  To check AVB, report as follows:
