Job Description:
The U.S. Navy operates more than 3,700 aircraft, making it the
second largest air force in the world- second only to the U.S. Air
Force. Below are the careers in aviation that work together to get
our birds in the sky.
AVIATION JOBS IN THE NAVY
FIGHTER PILOT
Complete complex air maneuvers while flying at Mach speeds.
Catapult off carriers at 170 mph and land on moving runways only
300 feet long. Gather intel, drop ordnance and conduct defensive
missions-all in the F/A-18 Hornet and the cutting-edge F-35C
Lightning II.
AIRCRAFT HANDLING OFFICER
Every performance needs a choreographer and on the deck of an
aircraft carrier, that person is you. You're in charge of directing
the movement of the entire flight deck from the jet launch sequence
to aircraft recovery.
FIXED WING PILOT
In the C-2 Greyhound, you transport parts, personnel, and mail to
the 5,000 people aboard. In the cockpit of the E-2C Hawkeye, you're
on patrol as the command control center in the sky. If you're
flying the P-3 Orion or the brand-new P-8 Poseidon, you hunt
submarines using cutting edge software, radar, sonar, and
acoustics.
HELICOPTER PILOT
As a helicopter pilot, the sky is your domain. Hover over the sea
for search and rescue, extract Sailors and Special Forces from a
hot landing zone or track and neutralize enemy submarines in
defense of your ship.
NAVAL FLIGHT OFFICER
In this role, you're the navigator, the lookout and the weapon
operator inside naval aviation. Whether you're hunting submarines
from a P-8 Poseidon, navigating an E-2 Hawkeye through enemy
territory or dropping bombs from the backseat of an F-18 fighter
jet .
AVIATION MAINTENANCE DUTY OFFICER
You're in charge of managing the repair and upkeep of our most
lethal aviation assets-over eighty different types of aircraft. In
addition to that, you manage hundreds of personnel, making this a
job that requires a level of organization and focus that few can
say they've mastered.
PAY AND BENEFITS
From the day you start, you'll receive:
EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES
Beyond professional credentials and certifications, the Navy can
help ease your financial burdens and advance your career with
generous financial assistance and continuing education programs,
including:
QUALIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
General qualifications may vary depending upon whether you're
currently serving, whether you've served before or whether you've
never served before.
WORK ENVIRONMENT
In the field of aviation, you'll make the world your home. You may
be assigned to sea or shore squadrons on almost any continent. You
will have the opportunity to work in a variety of
environments-airborne aircraft, hangars, flight decks, flight lines
at air stations and on aircraft carriers.
PART-TIME OPPORTUNITIES
Some of the above aviation jobs in the Navy Reserve are open only
to prior or current military aviators. Take a moment to learn more
