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

First-degree intermediate maintenance on T-64 turboshaft engines transfers directly to the powerplant maintenance side of aircraft mechanic work.

How to prepare: Assemble records of your engine maintenance duties for FAA evaluation toward the Powerplant rating when targeting jobs that seek certification. FAA certification requires age 18 or older, English proficiency, knowledge, oral and practical tests, and either qualifying experience of 18 months for one rating or 30 months concurrently for both ratings, graduation from an FAA-approved maintenance school, or completion of the military JSAMTCC training course.

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.
