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

Performing and supervising AH-64 helicopter maintenance provides directly transferable experience for civilian aircraft maintenance.

How to prepare: Assemble documentary evidence of your military maintenance experience for FAA review of the ratings it supports. Air carriers often require an FAA mechanic certificate even when it is not a regulatory requirement for the 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.
  • Conduct routine and special inspections as required by regulations.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Access Software AIRPAX
