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

Supervising passenger and cargo loading and performing aircraft weight and balance duties directly support civilian aircraft cargo supervision.

How to prepare: Practice preparing a civilian cargo load plan using a prospective operator's aircraft-specific weight, balance, and loading procedures.

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)
