Overview

Aerospace Physiology Technicians teach pilots and aircrews how to prevent and handle in flight emergencies through classroom and hands-on instruction. They apply expertise in human factors, analytics, performance, oxygen systems, and high altitude simulators to prepare flyers for extreme conditions and protect their health and safety.

Civilian Career Paths

Career associations are editorial assessments of the cited evidence, not an official crosswalk unless the evidence explicitly says so. O*NET supplies civilian occupation information, not proof of a military match. Related experience does not confer civilian qualifications. Tasks and tools below describe civilian work, not military training.

Training and Development Specialists

Classroom and simulator instruction for aviators and parachutists transfers directly to delivering job-skills training through lectures, demonstrations, and simulations.

How to prepare: Build a civilian-facing sample lesson on human factors or aviation safety, including a slide deck, simulation exercise, and learner assessment.

What the civilian work involves
  • Present information with a variety of instructional techniques or formats, such as role playing, simulations, team exercises, group discussions, videos, or lectures.
  • Obtain, organize, or develop training procedure manuals, guides, or course materials, such as handouts or visual materials.
  • Offer specific training programs to help workers maintain or improve job skills.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Microsoft PowerPoint
  • Adobe Acrobat

Aerospace Engineering and Operations Technologists and Technicians

Operating and maintaining altitude chambers, spatial disorientation trainers, and reduced oxygen breathing devices provides relevant experience for aerospace test-equipment operations.

How to prepare: Practice documenting an equipment test setup, its operating parameters, and recorded results to build skills beyond physiology training-device operation.

What the civilian work involves
  • Inspect, diagnose, maintain, and operate test setups and equipment to detect malfunctions.
  • Identify required data, data acquisition plans, and test parameters, setting up equipment to conform to these specifications.
  • Record and interpret test data on parts, assemblies, and mechanisms.
