The base salary for Army pilots ranges depending on your rank and status. Pilots who are Aviation Warrant Officers start between $39-$54K for those with less than two years of Army experience but increases the longer you serve and the further you move up in rank. For example, Warrant Officers with eight years of Army experience earn up to $69K annually. But that Army Basic Pay is just one part of your total compensation, which includes generous vacation, health care and housing allowances, and more.
