Ian Kingston flies the Western Counties Air Operation helicopter, which serves Gloucestershire and Avon and Somerset police during pursuits.
The 49-year-old appeared at North Avon Magistrates Court on Monday after he was allegedly caught driving at 110mph in a coned-off section of the M5.
A temporary speed limit of 40mph was in force at the time.
Mr Kingston, of Shapwick near Bridgwater, was released on unconditional bail and the case was adjourned until 3 September.
An Avon and Somerset Police spokesman said: "The member of police staff is currently on restricted duties pending the outcome of the criminal proceedings."
