| 2. English | 20 minutes | 3 |
| (*) Tests that may be in the form of multiple-choice questionnaires. | ||
Applicants must choose an optional test.
When registering, candidates make their choice among mandatory options and optional tests.
The optional live language written test covers the following living languages: German, Spanish, Italian and Russian.
A rating of 0 to 20 is assigned to each of the tests. Each rating is multiplied by the coefficient provided for in section 4 above to determine the eligibility of candidates.
Any rating less than 5 out of 20 for mandatory tests is eliminated. However, for optional tests, only notes above 10 of 20.
At the end of the eligibility tests, the jury(s) establish, in alphabetical order, the list of candidates authorized to present the admission examinations.
Candidates declared eligible are summoned individually.
At the end of the oral examinations, the jury(s) prepare the list of candidates admitted in order of merit, by type of examination. Only persons who have obtained a minimum number of points of 170 for candidates in the external examination and 150 for the internal examination for all the tests and a score of at least 10 out of 20 for the English oral examination may be declared admitted.
The Order of 20 December 2006 setting out the regulation and program of external and internal competitions for the recruitment of senior technicians in civil aviation studies and operations is repealed.
The present order will be issued in the Official Journal of the French Republic.

STRENGTHENING ISSUES
I. ― Mandatory written tests
1. French (duration 3 hours); coefficient 3)
The French composition test must first of all allow to appreciate the candidate's style qualities, his ability to clearly articulate a question and to correctly write.
The material presentation and the spelling of the copy will affect the rating given to the candidate.
2. Mathematics (duration 2 hours); coefficient 3)
Current program of the STG terminal class (specialities "mercatic", "business accounting and finance", "information systems management").
II. ― Optional mandatory written tests
The candidate must select one of the tests listed below.
1. Mathematics and physics (duration 3 hours); coefficient 6):
Program of mathematics and physics in force of terminal class S.
2. Engineering sciences (duration 3 hours); coefficient 6):
Current program of terminal class S option "engineer science".
III. ― Optional Written Tests
(Two tests maximum)
1. Aeronautical knowledge (duration 1 hour); coefficient 1):
The test consists of a candidate's general knowledge survey in technical areas and air traffic control. The test will not contain complex problems but may include simple calculations or the application of usual formulas.
The test covers the following:
(a) Navigation and radio navigation:
– fundamental definitions (Nord, roads, caps, etc.);
units, Mercator cards and Lambert, practical use;
– the speed triangle, resolution of the speed triangle;
- common problems of unit conversion;
- calculation of the middle point, the point of no return, the disroutement;
– notions of speed and altitude measurement, speed correction, basic calculations;
― notions on the usual installations and equipment of on-going radionavigation and landing;
― description, use, scopes, principle.
Note: The use of maps, rapporteurs and compilers is included in the program.
(b) Meteorology:
– fundamental concepts on air masses, cloud types, frontology;
pressure, humidity;
– dangerous phenomena for aeronautics: freezing, turbulence, thunderstorms, fogs.
(c) Air traffic control:
Air rules: air traffic services;
organization of control, procedures in force;
- procedures for aerodrome and approach control, regional control;
aeronautical information, AIP;
• messages;
altimetry;
- Alert service.
(d) Aeronautical and aerodynamic technology:
the plane: description, the constituent elements, the cell;
― steering: hyper-sustaining devices;
― aerodynamic element: portance, drag, flight equations, level, climb, descent;

― notions on instrumentation.
2. Living language other than English (duration 1 hour); coefficient 1) (German, Spanish, Italian, Russian):
The test must determine the ability of candidates to express themselves correctly and to understand the documents.
The test may include either a theme, a version or a test, or a knowledge assessment test.
The subjects will be of general order, using the current vocabulary.
ORAL AMISSION OVERVIEW
IV. ― Mandatory oral tests
1. Meeting with the jury (duration 30 minutes); coefficient 2)
From a text, the conversation with the jury must allow us to appreciate the qualities of reflection and the knowledge of the candidate.
