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.

Avionics Technicians

Installing, testing, and repairing F/A-18 electrical systems and components directly overlaps with civilian aircraft electrical installation and repair work.

How to prepare: Compare your electrical maintenance experience with the AET exam topics and study the aircraft electronics areas you have not worked on.

What the civilian work involves
  • Test and troubleshoot instruments, components, and assemblies, using circuit testers, oscilloscopes, or voltmeters.
  • Adjust, repair, or replace malfunctioning components or assemblies, using hand tools or soldering irons.
  • Install electrical and electronic components, assemblies, and systems in aircraft, using hand tools, power tools, or soldering irons.

Electrical and Electronics Repairers, Commercial and Industrial Equipment

Testing, inspecting, and repairing installed aircraft electrical equipment provides a foundation for maintaining commercial and industrial electrical equipment.

How to prepare: Complete a hands-on industrial equipment testing course to practice fault diagnosis and installation checks on equipment outside aviation.

What the civilian work involves
  • Test faulty equipment to diagnose malfunctions, using test equipment or software, and applying knowledge of the functional operation of electronic units and systems.
  • Inspect components of industrial equipment for accurate assembly and installation or for defects, such as loose connections or frayed wires.
  • Install repaired equipment in various settings, such as industrial or military establishments.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Circuit evaluation software
