=AB8+((N8="pilot")*0.05)

(I'd use Vasant's. I find his easier to read.)

I am currently using the formula below (i'm trying to add 5¢ if a person if
a pilot). But this formula returns FALSE for anyone not matching pilot. How
do I fix the formula so that it just puts the AB8 value (without addition)
into the desired cell for those that aren't pilots?

=IF(N8="pilot",(AB8+0.05),IF(N8=FALSE,AB8+0))
