  • Communications and navigation avionics troubleshooting
  • Electronic support measures system maintenance
  • Special mission avionics operation across flight phases

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

Troubleshooting and organizational-level maintenance of communications, navigation, and special mission avionics directly overlap with civilian aircraft electronics repair.

How to prepare: Build a skills crosswalk matching your avionics troubleshooting and maintenance experience to the aircraft systems listed in target employers' vacancies.

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.
  • Set up and operate ground support and test equipment to perform functional flight tests of electrical and electronic systems.

Aerospace Engineering and Operations Technologists and Technicians

Operating and troubleshooting avionics before, during, and after flight provides a foundation for aircraft systems testing and test-equipment fault diagnosis.

How to prepare: Complete a practical aircraft systems testing course that includes setting test parameters, collecting measurements, and interpreting results.

What the civilian work involves
  • Test aircraft systems under simulated operational conditions, performing systems readiness tests and pre- and post-operational checkouts, to establish design or fabrication parameters.
  • Inspect, diagnose, maintain, and operate test setups and equipment to detect malfunctions.
  • Record and interpret test data on parts, assemblies, and mechanisms.
