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 Pilots

Piloting assigned aircraft on aeromedical evacuation missions transfers directly to civilian aircraft operation under changing terrain and weather conditions.

How to prepare: Have a civilian flight school review your flight records against FAA certificate, rating, flight-experience and examination requirements for your intended aircraft and operation. Confirm FAA medical certification separately, then compare your flight experience with each employer's hiring requirements.

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.
  • Monitor engine operation, fuel consumption, and functioning of aircraft systems during flights.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Aeronautical charts

Airfield Operations Specialists

Aeromedical evacuation operations and aviation safety assignments provide relevant experience for airfield safety and aircraft emergency response.

How to prepare: Study civilian airfield inspection and emergency-response procedures, focusing on airport-wide responsibilities beyond operating an individual aircraft.

What the civilian work involves
  • Inspect airfield conditions to ensure compliance with federal regulatory requirements.
  • Implement airfield safety procedures to ensure a safe operating environment for personnel and aircraft operation.
  • Assist in responding to aircraft and medical emergencies.
