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

Inspecting, maintaining, and repairing aircraft structural components transfers directly to the structures-focused portion of civilian aircraft maintenance.

How to prepare: Compile military training and maintenance-experience records for FAA evaluation of experience toward the Airframe rating. An FAA mechanic certificate is not required for every airline mechanic job, although 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.

Aircraft Structure, Surfaces, Rigging, and Systems Assemblers

Aircraft structural component inspection and repair experience provides a foundation for inspecting and reworking aircraft assemblies in manufacturing.

How to prepare: Take a hands-on aircraft assembly course covering blueprint interpretation, fastening, and fit-and-alignment checks to bridge from component repair to production assembly.

What the civilian work involves
  • Assemble parts, fittings, or subassemblies on aircraft, using layout tools, hand tools, power tools, or fasteners, such as bolts, screws, rivets, or clamps.
  • Inspect or test installed units, parts, systems, or assemblies for fit, alignment, performance, defects, or compliance with standards, using measuring instruments or test equipment.
  • Adjust, repair, rework, or replace parts or assemblies to ensure proper operation.

Getting Started

  • Mechanic (Airframe & Powerplant)

    Pursue FAA mechanic certification, starting with evaluation of structural maintenance experience toward the Airframe rating rather than assuming it covers both ratings.

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

    For: Aircraft Mechanics and Service Technicians

  • Certified Aerospace Technician Core

    Validate foundational aerospace knowledge in applied mechanics, materials and processes, measurement, and safety for aircraft assembly work.

    Eligibility and preparation: Meet any one route: active-duty or veteran service with an aeronautical, aviation, aerospace, or engineering MOS, rating, or assignment; at least two years of work experience in one of those fields; a college or technical-school degree of at least two years in one of those disciplines; or an FAA Airframe & Powerplant Certificate. Written, oral, and practical evaluations are required.

    For: Aircraft Structure, Surfaces, Rigging, and Systems Assemblers
