Reference excerpt

The IEEAC is the corps of the Ingénieur des études et de l'exploitation de l'aviation civile (in English Civil Aviation Operations Engineer). It is the sixth corps of the French Directorate General for Civil Aviation (DGAC) by size, with 777 IEEAC out of 13,076 agents as of 1 July 2011.

Application The application process is by a competitive examination. It is for students of classes préparatoires aux grandes écoles. Also, air traffic controllers, air traffic safety electronics personnel and Techniciens supérieurs des études et de l'exploitation de l'aviation civile with more than 10 years professional experience can integrate into the IEEAC corps with another application process.

Career This corps has five grades (in descending order):

IEEAC primary class 1: 2 steps. IEEAC main class 2: 8 steps. IEEAC normal class: 11 steps. IEEAC internship: 1 step. IEEAC student: 2 steps.

Training The third-year training of IEEAC is performed at the École nationale de l'aviation civile (French civil aviation university) of Toulouse after a competitive examination. Students graduate with the Diplôme d'ingénieur ENAC (ENAC engineer degree) recognized by the Commission des Titres d'Ingénieur before joining the DGAC or Bureau d'Enquêtes et d'Analyses pour la Sécurité de l'Aviation Civile.

Job The IEEAC corps work in many technical and economical arenas such as air transport, air navigation, and safety of civil aviation in Metropolitan France or in overseas department. They perform testing, operating, research, coaching or teaching missions.

Distribution They work for the DGAC as well as for Bureau d'Enquêtes et d'Analyses pour la Sécurité de l'Aviation Civile.

Income IEEAC students have an income of 2,400 euros per month during the third-year training at ENAC. When they start their career, they have an income of 59,000 euros per year.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Ingénieur des études et de l'exploitation de l'aviation civile

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Ingénieur des études et de l'exploitation de l'aviation civile claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Ingénieur des études et de l'exploitation de l'aviation civile before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Ingénieur des études et de l'exploitation de l'aviation civile ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Ingénieur des études et de l'exploitation de l'aviation civile

In research: Ingénieur des études et de l'exploitation de l'aviation civile appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Ingénieur des études et de l'exploitation de l'aviation civile in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Ingénieur des études et de l'exploitation de l'aviation civile is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Air traffic control in France, Aviation licenses and certifications, French aerospace engineers, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Ingénieur des études et de l'exploitation de l'aviation civile outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
