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 maintenance experience across H-60 aircraft variants transfers directly to civilian aircraft maintenance work.

How to prepare: Gather documentary evidence of your military maintenance duties for FAA evaluation toward Airframe and Powerplant ratings. Certification requires 18 months of appropriate experience for one rating or 30 months concurrently covering both, or an accepted training route, plus knowledge, oral, and practical tests; applicants must be at least 18 and able to read, write, speak, and understand English.

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.

Notes & Sources

  • An FAA mechanic certificate is not a regulatory requirement for every airline mechanic job, although air carriers often require it for hiring.
