Overview

A C-2 Transport Aircrewman performs in-flight duties on C-2 aircraft. The aircrewman performs and supervises inspections, maintenance, loading, rigging, internal cargo handling, and weight and balance activities, and has knowledge of aircraft systems, emergency procedures, and flight equipment.

Core Skills

  • Aircraft weight and balance calculation
  • Internal cargo loading and rigging
  • Aircraft inspection and maintenance supervision

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 Cargo Handling Supervisors

C-2 experience performing and supervising cargo loading, rigging, internal handling, and weight and balance directly overlaps aircraft cargo supervision.

How to prepare: Practice producing a civilian aircraft load plan that shows cargo placement and center-of-gravity calculations.

What the civilian work involves
  • Determine the quantity and orientation of cargo, and compute an aircraft's center of gravity.
  • Direct ground crews in the loading, unloading, securing, or staging of aircraft cargo or baggage.
  • Distribute cargo to maximize use of space.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Microsoft Excel
  • Cargo tracking system software

Aircraft Mechanics and Service Technicians

Performing and supervising C-2 inspections and maintenance provides relevant aircraft maintenance experience, although the duty description does not establish its breadth.

How to prepare: Gather military maintenance records for FAA review of experience toward an Airframe or Powerplant rating. FAA certification requires age 18 or older, English proficiency, knowledge, oral, and practical tests, and either 18 months of appropriate experience for one rating, 30 months concurrently for both, graduation from an FAA-approved maintenance school, or completion of the military JSAMTCC course; certification is not required for every airline mechanic job, but 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.
  • Conduct routine and special inspections as required by regulations.
