They entered not guilty pleas and were bailed on the grounds they don't enter the Auckland Domestic Airport or the International Airport.
One was granted a dispensation to travel to Singapore for four days.
The trio were granted interim name suppression to let them tell their families.
The men's counsel, Rosemary Thomson, told the court the arrest had been too "sudden'' and they hadn't had a chance to tell their relatives.
Outside the court, the three men declined to explain their actions. One shrugged when asked if they thought the prank was funny.
Their arrests follow the appearance of Benjamin Ross Boyce, 33; Bryce Anthony Casey, 32; and Andrew Logan Robinson, 26, in Manukau District Court yesterday after the trio contacted the police on Sunday.
They faced the same charges and were also bailed to reappear on October 18.
Police said they were not looking for anyone else in relation to the prank.
Casey allegedly attempted to gain access to a restricted area in a rented pilot's uniform at Auckland Airport on Saturday afternoon, and was turned away by security staff.
The stunt resulted in widespread criticism yesterday ranging from the pilots' union to the prime minister.
The maximum penalty for breaching the Civil Aviation Act is 12 months' imprisonment or a fine up to $10,000.
