AVIATION BOATSWAINS MATE, AIRCRAFT HANDLING
U.S. Navy
Modern aircraft carriers are capable of launching aircraft every 20 seconds. That means the flight deck can get pretty busy, so solid management and communication are essential to preventing chaos. As an Aviation Boatswain’s Mate – Aircraft Handling (ABH), you ensure smooth launch and recovery operations by carefully directing the movement of all aircraft. Supervise every turn, tow and park, and secure them to the deck. Wherever they go, you’ll be the guide.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Aviation Boatswain’s Mate – Aircraft Handling (ABH) Sailors supervise the movement of Naval aircraft and perform rescue duties when necessary. In this role, specific responsibilities may include:
- Assisting with the launch and recovery of aircraft
- Spotting and securing aircraft and equipment
- Performing crash rescue and crash removal duties in connection with aircraft launch and recovery
- Firefighting and damage control duties
- Operating and maintaining ground-handling equipment used for moving and hoisting aircraft
WORK ENVIRONMENT
- Most of the work in this rating is performed outdoors on the flight decks of amphibious and aircraft carriers, in all climates and conditions, including hazardous environments. The work is fast-paced and ABHs typically work closely with others in aviation ratings. You will not spend your entire career at sea; you may also work with an aircraft squadron during a shore duty rotation.
