Eligible active-duty aviators have until Sept. 15 to apply for the FY 2023 Aviation Bonus Program. The Air Force also announced the Legacy Aviation Bonus Program will open June 6.
The Legacy AvB Program builds upon the previous years' offers to decisively shape and retain experienced rated officers to meet AF retention, training and mission-readiness requirements.
Specific communities of pilots: RPA, air battle managers and combat systems officers are eligible for monetary incentives in exchange for active-duty service commitments.
Changes to the FY23 Legacy AvB Program include an increase in the monetary cap up to $50,000 per year.
The FY23 AvB Program applies to aviators with an Undergraduate Flying Training Active Duty Service Commitment expiring in FY23. Aviators currently on an AvB contract will not be able to renegotiate for a higher amount in this year.
Separate from the Legacy AvB Program, the FY23 National Defense Authorization Act directs the AF to execute a Rated Officer Retention Demonstration Program, allowing active-duty manned pilots with no more than three years, but not less than one year, remaining to sign a contract for the maximum monetary amount one to two fiscal years prior to the fiscal year their UFT ADSC commitment expires.
FY23 will be a transition year for the AF. The maximum contract amount of $50,000 per year offered under the Legacy Program this year will not be offered next year.
Instead, the maximum contract amount will only be offered under the demonstration program.
Complete eligibility requirements and application instructions will be available on the AvB tile on the myFSS website Welcome Page (https://myfss.us.af.mil/USAFCommunity/s/). (Air Force 06/05/23)
