The Advanced Aviation Technician (Civilian) (often called TSA civilian) is a job in France for people who work in aviation but are not government employees. These technicians are trained at the École nationale de l'aviation civile (ENAC), which is a special school for civil aviation in France.

TSA civilians can have many different and exciting jobs. They might work at airports, helping everything run smoothly, or for airlines, making sure planes are ready for flight. They can also work for companies that build airplanes, helping to design or maintain them.

What is a TSA Civilian?

A TSA civilian is a skilled professional who helps keep the aviation world safe and efficient. They are experts in various areas of civil aviation, which means anything to do with planes and flying that isn't military. Their training prepares them for many important tasks, from checking aircraft to managing air traffic systems.

Where do TSA Civilians Work?

TSA civilians can find jobs in several key areas:

  • Airports: They might work in airport operations, helping with ground services, safety checks, or managing equipment.
  • Airlines: For airlines, they could be involved in maintaining aircraft, planning flights, or ensuring passenger safety.
  • Manufacturers: Some TSA civilians work for companies like Airbus or Boeing, helping to build new planes or develop new aviation technologies.

History of the TSA Civilian Training

The training program for the Advanced Aviation Technician (Civilian) was created in 2011. This new program was added to an older, similar training program that has been around since 1962. The goal was to offer more specialized training for people who wanted to work in civil aviation without being government civil servants.
