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 and flying helicopters in tactical and non-tactical conditions, by day and night across weather conditions, directly overlaps civilian commercial helicopter flying.

How to prepare: Review your military flight records with an FAA-qualified flight instructor to identify certificate, rating, and flight-experience gaps for helicopter charter or aerial-tour work. Commercial flying requires appropriate FAA certificates and ratings, medical qualification, and satisfaction of applicable flight-experience, knowledge, and examination requirements.

What the civilian work involves
  • Co-pilot aircraft or perform captain's duties, as required.
  • Use instrumentation to pilot aircraft when visibility is poor.
  • Monitor engine operation, fuel consumption, and functioning of aircraft systems during flights.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Aeronautical charts
