AFAIK all pilots are officers. However, helicopter pilots in the army are
Warrant Officers, which are a weird stopover between ncos and officers.
Does that follow in other countries?

My stepfather is in the US Navy Jag as an O5. HE got his first uniform for
free about 20 years ago and has had to pay for them ever since. He got his
promotion to O5 1 Jan and had to go out and buy his new insignia. Didn't
even buy that for him.
