Pursuant to the provisions of Article 7 of the amended Decree of 16 January 1991 referred to above, the regulation, nature and program of the tests of the external and internal examinations of the electron engineers of the air safety systems are fixed 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 need to justify on September 1 of the year of the competition, a title or diploma ranked 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 external and internal competitions of electronic engineers in air safety systems include three mandatory written examinations of eligibility, a mandatory written technical test of eligibility, a voluntary written test of eligibility and two mandatory oral examinations.
The nature of the tests, their duration and the coefficients applicable to them shall be as follows:
| I. ― Written proof of eligibility | | |
| 1. Mandatory written evidence: | | |
| 1.1. Mathematics (*) | 2 hours | 3 |
| 1.2. French (*) | 3 hours | 3 |
| 1.3. English (*) | 2 hours | 2 |
| 2. Mandatory optional technical test (choice of one test) | | |
| 2.1. Electrical engineering and industrial computing (*) (GEII) or | 4 hours | 6 |
| 2.2. Networks and telecommunications (*) (R-T) | 4 hours | 6 |
| 3. Optional written test (one test selection) | | |
| 3.1. Aeronautical knowledge (*) or | 1 hour | 1 |
| 3.2. Second living language | 1 hour | 1 |
| II. ― Oral Intake Tests | ||
| 1. Mandatory oral evidence | | |
| 1.1. Meeting with the jury | 30 minutes | 5 |
| 1.2. English | 20 minutes | 1 |
| (*) Tests in the form of multiple-choice questionnaires | ||
A rating of 0 to 20 is assigned to each of the tests. Each note is multiplied by its coefficient.
However, for optional tests, only points exceeding the rating of 10 of 20.
At the end of the written examinations of eligibility, for each competition, the jury sets out in alphabetical order the list of candidates authorized to take part in the oral examinations. No person may be declared eligible if he has not participated in all written examinations of eligibility and has obtained a total of points not less than 140 after applying the coefficients for all qualifying tests, a grade not less than 8 out of 20 at the technical test and a grade not less than 5 out of 20 at the other mandatory written tests.
Candidates declared eligible are summoned individually.
At the end of the oral admission examinations, for each competition, the jury determines by order of merit the list of definitively admitted candidates as well as a supplementary admission list. No one may be declared admitted if he did not participate in all mandatory oral examinations of admission and obtained a score at least 8 out of 20 at the interview with the jury and a score at least 5 out of 20 at the English oral test.
In the event of an equal number of points between several candidates, the priority is given to the one who obtained the highest rating in the oral examination No. 1 of admission.
The Order of December 16, 2008 setting out the regulation and program of the external and internal competitive examinations for electron engineers in the air safety systems and the annex 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.

PROGRAMME OF EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL CONCOURS
ELECTRONIC HEALTH SYSTEMS
I. ― Written proof of eligibility
1. Mandatory written tests
1. Mathematics (duration: 2 hours, coefficient 3).
The mathematical test is presented in the form of multiple-choice questionnaires (MCQs).
It is based on the current national educational programme of the GEII (electrical engineering and industrial computing) and R✱T (networks and telecommunications) as described in Education Unit 1 (EU 1): scientific and human training, excluding complementary modules.
2. French (duration: 3 hours, coefficient 3).
The French test is composed of a technical text and possibly a press overview, the writing of a synthesis note to non-specialists. It is supplemented by a multiple-choice questionnaire (MCQs).
This test must be used to assess the suitability of the candidate for structuring, argumentation, synthesis and extension. French language proficiency is also evaluated.
3. English (duration: 2 hours, coefficient 2).
The English-language written test must be used to judge the extent of the candidate's vocabulary and grammatical knowledge.
This test will include various types of exercises in the form of multiple-choice questionnaires (MCQs).
2. Mandatory optional technical test
(choice of one test)
1. Electrical engineering and industrial computing (duration: 4 hours, coefficient 6).
