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

Organizational-level maintenance on C-130 aircraft provides directly relevant experience for civilian aircraft maintenance work.

How to prepare: Gather military maintenance records for FAA review against Airframe and Powerplant experience requirements: 18 months for one rating or 30 months concurrently performing duties appropriate to both, with approved school or military certification-course alternatives and required knowledge, oral, and practical tests. Air carriers often require the mechanic certificate for hiring, although it is not an FAA regulatory requirement for every airline mechanic 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.
