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 the T-700 turboshaft engine provides directly relevant experience for civilian aircraft powerplant maintenance.

How to prepare: Gather military training and maintenance-experience records for FAA evaluation toward the Powerplant rating. That rating requires applicants to be at least 18 and proficient in English, have 18 months of appropriate practical experience or complete an FAA-approved maintenance school or Joint Service Aviation Maintenance Technician Certification Council course, and pass written, oral, and practical tests.

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.

Notes & Sources

  • An FAA mechanic certificate is not required by regulation for every airline mechanic job, although air carriers often require it for hiring.
