What is the pay stop date for a career enlisted aviator who was placed on active flying on January 1, 2009, and then placed in DNIF status on April 13, 2009?

The pay stop date for a career enlisted aviator placed on active flying is determined by the regulations surrounding flying duty and the subsequent status changes. In this scenario, the aviator was placed on active flying on January 1, 2009, and subsequently went into DNIF (Duty Not Including Flying) status on April 13, 2009.

When an aviator enters DNIF status, the pay entitled to them for flying duty is affected. The pay stop date generally falls one day before the start of the DNIF period, meaning that for an aviator placed in DNIF status on April 13, 2009, the pay stop date would be April 12, 2009.

However, the aviator's situation is not as straightforward as that. The pay system takes into account the entire year in which the status change occurs. Due to this, the pay stop date would extend into the following year. Thus, for an aviator who entered DNIF status within the same fiscal year as their active duty commencement (in this case, 2009), the pay would be calculated to stop at the end of the fiscal year in which they were active, leading to a pay stop date on April 12, 201
