Stop:
Pursuant to the provisions of Article 14 of the amended Decree of 8 November 1990 referred to above, the regulation, nature and program of the tests of the external and internal competitions of the air navigation control engineers are determined in the following manner.
External and internal competitions are open, after the Minister's notice of the Public Service, under the conditions set out inarticle 2 of the decree of 19 October 2004 referred to above.
Members of the external and internal competition jury are appointed by order of the Minister for Civil Aviation.
Applicants to the external competition will have to justify on November 1st of the year of the competition of a title or diploma classified at least level III in the fields of mathematics, science and technical training or a qualification or training recognized as equivalent to one of these titles or diplomas under the conditions fixed by the decree of 13 February 2007 referred to above.
The Minister for Civil Aviation shall determine the list of candidates authorized to compete.
The nature of the tests, their duration and the coefficients applicable to them shall be as follows:

| 2. Mandatory optional written test: | | |
| (choice of one test) | | |
| 2.1. Mathematics | 4 hours | 3 |
| or 2.2. Physics | 4 hours | 3 |
| or 2.3. Industrial sciences for the engineer | 4 hours | 3 |
| 3. Optional written test: | | |
| (choice of one test) | | |
| 3.1. Aeronautical knowledge | 2 hours | 1 |
| or 3.2. Second living language | 2 hours | 1 |
| Admission | | |
| 4. Mandatory oral evidence: | | |
| 4.1. Mathematics | 30 minutes | 2 |
| 4.2. Physics | 30 minutes | 2 |
| 4.3. French | 30 minutes | 2 |
| 4.4. English | 20 minutes | 2 |
A rating of 0 to 20 is assigned to each test. Each rating is multiplied by the coefficient provided for in Article 5 above. However, for optional materials, only points exceeding the rating of 10 of 20.
Written trials are eliminated. The jury sets out the list of candidates eligible for oral examinations among those who obtained a score at least 8 out of 20 in English and other written examinations at least 5 out of 20.
Candidates declared eligible are summoned individually. Candidates who have obtained a total of not less than 200 points for all tests and a grade of not less than 12 out of 20 at the English oral test.
At the end of these trials, the jury lists the candidates admitted in order of merit.
The appointment as an aerial navigation control engineer is subject to the favourable results of the medical examination conducted by the Civil Aviation Directorate.
The Order of December 7, 2005 setting out the regulation and program of the external and internal competitive examinations for air navigation control engineers and the schedule thereto are repealed.
The Director General of Civil Aviation is responsible for the execution of this Order, which will be published in the Official Journal of the French Republic.
