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.

Commercial Helicopter Pilot

Commanding scout helicopters in tactical and nontactical operations, including night and poor-weather flight, directly overlaps with civilian commercial helicopter flying.

How to prepare: Have a civilian helicopter flight school review your military flight records and identify gaps for your intended commercial flying work. Entry requires appropriate FAA certificates and ratings, medical qualification, and satisfaction of applicable flight-experience and testing requirements.

What the civilian work involves
  • Check aircraft prior to flights to ensure that the engines, controls, instruments, and other systems are functioning properly.
  • Co-pilot aircraft or perform captain's duties, as required.
  • Use instrumentation to pilot aircraft when visibility is poor.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Aeronautical charts
