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.

Aircraft Mechanics and Service Technicians

Aircraft structural maintenance at unit, intermediate, and depot levels transfers directly to the structural repair side of civilian aircraft maintenance.

How to prepare: Assemble documentary evidence of your maintenance experience for FAA evaluation, focusing on airframe eligibility and any additional experience needed for the powerplant rating. Air carriers often require an Aviation Mechanic certificate for hiring, although it is not an FAA requirement for every airline mechanic job.

What the civilian work involves
  • Read and interpret maintenance manuals, service bulletins, and other specifications to determine the feasibility and method of repairing or replacing malfunctioning or damaged components.
  • Maintain repair logs, documenting all preventive and corrective aircraft maintenance.

  • Access Software AIRPAX

Training & Development

Choose credentials for your target role. COOL funding markers describe program listings, not a guarantee of eligibility or funding.

Getting Started

  • Mechanic (Airframe & Powerplant)

    Pursue FAA mechanic certification for civilian aircraft maintenance, with an initial eligibility review centered on documented structural maintenance experience.

    Eligibility and preparation: Applicants must be at least 18 and able to read, write, speak, and understand English. The experience route requires 18 months of practical experience appropriate to one rating or 30 months concurrently performing duties appropriate to both ratings, with FAA evaluation of military documentary evidence. Alternatives include graduation from an FAA-approved Aviation Maintenance Technician School or completion of the Joint Service Aviation Maintenance Technician Certification Council training course. Knowledge, oral, and practical tests are required.

    For: Aircraft Mechanics and Service Technicians

  • ASTM NCATT Foreign Object Elimination (FOE)

    Prepare for an exam covering foreign object prevention practices, including housekeeping, tool accountability, and material handling in aircraft maintenance.

    Eligibility and preparation: Open to all individuals without mandatory prior credentials, education, training, or experience; the AET credential is not required.

    For: Aircraft Mechanics and Service Technicians
