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 cargo helicopters on tactical, training, and disaster relief missions provides directly transferable aircraft operation experience for commercial helicopter flying.

How to prepare: Have a civilian helicopter flight school review your flight records and identify gaps for the required FAA certificates and ratings. Commercial flying requires appropriate medical qualification and satisfaction of FAA flight-experience, knowledge, and testing requirements, with periodic physical and practical flight examinations to maintain privileges.

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
