France Aviation Civile Services is the expertise and consultancy office of the French Civil Aviation. We provide worldwide consultancy and operational training services based on professional know-how of the DGAC and ENAC and their respective eco-systems.
Let’s have a glimpse on what we offer:
Do you want to rethink or strengthen your civil aviation strategy? Supporting a main change?
To meet the current challenges facing air transport, ICAO encourages strategic planning and the development of national plans. The aim is to enable the sustainable development of air transport by improving safety, security, facilitation, capacity, efficiency and environmental protection.
France Aviation Civile Services can support you in the definition and implementation of your Civil Aviation Master Plan (CAMP) or on a targeted basis for the review of a key area, such as the State Safety Programme (SSP).
Our approach is aligned with the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, the objectives of national development plans and ICAO’s global plans – the ICAO Global Aviation Safety Plan (GASP), the Global Air Navigation Plan (GANP) and the Global Aviation Security Plan (GASeP).
It will take into account the regional variations of these global plans and the performance objectives defined at the ICAO regional level.
We propose to adopt a global vision of the air transport ecosystem and its interactions with other modes of transport, and to involve the various stakeholders in a cooperative approach. Together, we study the existing situation and define the targets in the various areas, in particular:
We take care to propose a pragmatic approach to strategy deployment, based on performance management with objectives broken down into indicators and operational action plans for a continuous improvement loop. We can support you not only in defining these strategic plans, but also in implementing them.
Our diagnosis is based on air transport data that we have been collecting and analysing for over 30 years in the ATD (Air Transport Data) database.
Our experts combine skills in the fields of regulation, airport operations, air traffic control and piloting, equipment, economics, financial analysis and human resources.
France Aviation Civile Services provides you with worldwide aviation data to help you make strategic decisions.
Analyse traffic trends, airline strategies and airport performance using reliable, consolidated data.
With over 30 years’ experience in aviation data and having worked with numerous players in the aeronautics and aviation industries throughout the world, France Aviation Civile Services gives you access to unrivalled data quality.
Solid partnerships with local players, nurtured over the years, reinforce the exhaustiveness of our data every day.

If you need expertise or training on current EASA regulations, France Aviation Civile Services can help you.
France Aviation Civile Services helps you to develop national or regional regulations based on European texts by analysing the gaps between EASA requirements and those in force locally.
France Aviation Civile Services provides targeted training for civil aviation authorities wishing to comply with EASA standards. France Aviation Civile Services’ experts prepare and deliver training courses in English or French (other languages possible depending on the experts’ language skills) on behalf of EASA in the various areas of oversight: PEL, AGA, AIR, OPS, ANS.
Among the projects carried out:
If you are looking to implement a supervisory authority or to develop certain aspects of supervision, France Aviation Civile Services can help you.
France Aviation Civile Services provides support to any civil aviation authority, whatever its level of maturity. After a diagnosis of the situation, a roadmap will be developed and a tailor-made solution taking into account local specificities will be proposed.
France Aviation Civile Services can help to define staff training plans in line with international standards and assist the authority in sizing its human resources requirements.
The drafting of documents and procedures (in particular surveillance manuals and checklists) can be carried out in collaboration with France Aviation Civile Services experts.
France Aviation Civile Services has assisted the following national authorities in the field of oversight: Philippines, Lao, Haiti, Thailand, Antigua and Barbuda.
Haiti: Assistance with the creation and development of the Supervisory Authority
Lao: Capacity building in the fields of LEG, ORG, OPS
Thailand: Capacity building in the fields of LEG, ORG, OPS
Philippines: Diagnosis and action plan in the fields of ANS and AER
Mauritius: Support for air navigation and operations inspectors
If you are a civil aviation authority and would like to train your surveillance inspectors, France Aviation Civile Services, in coordination with ENAC, can provide you with qualified trainers.
Your team of inspectors is being renewed, you wish to update the knowledge and skills of your existing surveillance personnel, France Aviation Civile Services will support you and offer training tailored to your needs.
Following a detailed analysis of your requirements, training programmes are proposed to managers for approval before being delivered remotely or face-to-face in French or English. Alternating between theoretical reminders and practical exercises, the OJT is offered to inspectors to help them become autonomous in their activities. Training courses can be general (e.g. on audit techniques) or thematic in relation to the applicable regulations. Depending on the need, France Aviation Civile Services can assist in carrying out blank surveillance procedures or supervise audits and/or inspections.
This approach, combined with capacity building for the authority, was carried out in Port-au-Prince for Haiti. France Aviation Civile Services has also provided human factors training for EASA staff.
You are a civil aviation authority and you want to dematerialise and facilitate exchanges with your operators to plan safety oversight actions and monitor findings.
YOUR NEEDSYou wish to harmonise practices and facilitate the work of safety oversight inspectors in the follow-up of surveillance acts, both in terms of their planning and the management of the resulting findings. France Aviation Civile Services offers you a dedicated internet platform that adapts perfectly to your organisation.
