Aviation jobs ranked by ASVAB threshold
Ordered by the lowest score that satisfies each rule; for OR rules the easier path is used. Thresholds in different line scores are not directly comparable. Open any MOS for its subtests, gap guidance and alternatives.

Line scores behind Aviation jobs
The subtests shown are the Army's nominal definition of each aptitude area from DA PAM 611-21, Military Occupational Classification and Structure, Table 10-1 (ASVAB aptitude area composites). The reported score is computed on the 1997 scale as a weighted sum of seven standard scores (DMDC 2004, Table 2.7), which can give weight to subtests outside the nominal list; GT is the exception and equals AR + VE exactly. Improving a subtest therefore raises several composites at once. The Army score guide explains each line score; use the line score on your report, or compute it from your standard scores.

Preparing for a Aviation job
Practice on this site: AS (Auto and Shop Information), MC (Mechanical Comprehension), EI (Electronics Information), GS (General Science), AR (Arithmetic Reasoning), MK (Mathematics Knowledge), WK (Word Knowledge), PC (Paragraph Comprehension) feed the MM, EL, ST, SC scores used in this field. Start a AS, MC, EI, GS, AR, MK, WK, PC practice set →
Practice scores are raw counts and never convert into an official line score. See where these thresholds fall among every Army line score range on the score chart, then enter the line scores from your ASVAB report in the score checker to compare against every verified job at once.
Frequently asked questions
What is the lowest ASVAB score for a Aviation job in the Army?
Among the 15 currently verified CMF 15 entries on this site, the lowest entry threshold is ST ≥ 91 for 15P Aviation Operations Specialist. The highest is EL ≥ 98 and MM ≥ 104 for 15Y AH-64 Armament/Electrical/Avionics Systems Repairer. Each figure is a minimum line score, not an AFQT percentile.
Which ASVAB line scores do Aviation jobs use?
MM (Mechanical Maintenance, NO + AS + MC + EI) is required by 11 jobs; EL (Electronics, GS + AR + MK + EI) is required by 4 jobs; ST (Skilled Technical, GS + VE (verbal: WK and PC) + MK + MC) is required by 2 jobs; SC (Surveillance and Communications, VE (verbal: WK and PC) + AR + AS + MC) is required by 2 jobs. The line score on your ASVAB report is the number to compare.
Does meeting the ASVAB threshold guarantee a Aviation MOS?
No. The threshold is only the score condition from the Army MOS specification. Physical (OPAT), medical, security clearance, training-seat availability and component eligibility are decided separately by the Army and your recruiter.
