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

UH-60 inspection, subsystem replacement, manual-based repair, and maintenance recordkeeping directly overlap with civilian aircraft maintenance work.

How to prepare: Gather records documenting your military maintenance duties and experience for FAA evaluation toward Airframe and Powerplant ratings. An FAA mechanic certificate is not required for every airline mechanic job, but air carriers often require it for hiring.

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.
  • Examine and inspect aircraft components, including landing gear, hydraulic systems, and deicers to locate cracks, breaks, leaks, or other problems.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • 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) · Funded · Promotion points · STAR

    Earn both FAA mechanic ratings to support civilian aircraft maintenance employment.

    Eligibility and preparation: Applicants must be at least 18 and able to read, write, speak, and understand English. For both ratings, qualify through 30 months of concurrent practical experience appropriate to both, graduation from an FAA-approved Aviation Maintenance Technician School, or completion of the Joint Service Aviation Maintenance Technician Certification Council training course. The FAA evaluates documentary evidence of military experience; knowledge, oral, and practical tests must be passed.
