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 day and night flying, directly supports civilian commercial helicopter flying.

How to prepare: Have a civilian helicopter flight school review your flight records and existing ratings to identify gaps for commercial helicopter work. Commercial pilots need applicable FAA certificates and ratings and must meet medical, flight-experience, knowledge, and examination 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
