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 helicopters in tactical and nontactical operations, including night and varied-weather flight, transfers directly to civilian commercial helicopter flying.

How to prepare: Have a civilian helicopter flight school review your military flight records and current certificates to identify gaps for charter or aerial-tour work. Civilian commercial flying requires appropriate FAA certificates and ratings, medical qualification, and applicable flight-experience and testing 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
