AM ASAA alumni class of 2018

Identity card

Last name: Tse
First name: Ernest Chi

Title of Advanced Master®: Aviation Safety – Aircraft Airworthiness (MSASAA)

Year of graduation: 2018
City: Yaoundé
Current country of residence: Cameroon

His career before ISAE-SUPAERO

What was your academic background before joining ISAE-SUPAERO?

Before joining ISAE-SUPAERO, I had obtained a degree in mechanical engineering from the École Nationale Supérieure Polytechnique in Yaoundé. This was supplemented by a short course on finite element methods applied to aeronautics, in particular using the MSC NASTRAN/PATRAN software.

Why did you choose to pursue an Advanced Master® at ISAE-SUPAERO?

I’d always dreamed of a career in aeronautics, and unlike today, at that time there was no courses in aeronautics in my country.

The AM ASAA was the perfect match for what I was looking for: training that will help me acquire the skills I need to be a major player in the field of aircraft airworthiness. The unique AM ASAA programme offered by ISAE Supaero in conjunction with ENAC and EOAA, in addition to the academic excellence and worldwide recognition of the institutions, left me no choice.

His experience at ISAE-SUPAERO

What lessons, projects or activities at the AM have impressed you the most?

What impressed me most was the quality of the teaching and the diversity of the lecturers. I immediately felt close to the industry because the lecturers were industry professionals with an excellent teaching approach. Exchanges with experts in airworthiness certification, group work on concrete cases (e.g. post type certification activities), and visits to the industry enabled me to firmly anchor the skills I had acquired.

How does the AM contribute to your technical and professional skills?

The MS has had a considerable impact on my technical and professional skills.

On the technical side, it has given me a deeper understanding of airworthiness certification requirements, aircraft certification processes and an in-depth knowledge of aircraft systems.

From a professional point of view, this Master’s degree has given me the ability to work as part of a team, with multiple group projects, critical analysis and technical communication skills, which are essential for working in multicultural and multidisciplinary environments.

Today, these skills enable me to take on both technical responsibilities for the airworthiness of aircraft in Cameroon and Central Africa, and teaching responsibilities at the Cameroon Civil Aviation Authority Training School.

Did you carry out a work assignment or internship during your AM?

Yes, I did a work placement at Aeroconseil (AKKA Technologies), now Sabena Technics.

My internship enabled me to implement EASA’s ‘Level of Involvement’ concept in the supplementary type certification process, which was brand new in 2018. The application of this concept in the DOA has had concrete results in terms of simplifying the certification process and reducing the time taken to obtain STCs. During my internship, I also ran awareness-raising workshops for engineers in the certification teams on the new certification requirements for lithium-ion batteries.

His current career path

What is your current position? In which company or organisation do you work?

I am both the Head of Training at the Cameroon Civil Aviation Authority’s Training School and a Technical Manager in Aircraft Airworthiness and SAFA inspector in the same authority’s Air Safety Department.

What business sector are you in today?

In the supervision of airworthiness and aircraft maintenance, as well as aeronautical training.

How has your Advanced Master® contributed to your professional integration or career development?

The Advanced Master® has been a real career accelerator. It now enables me to take on a dual role, as both a technical engineer and a team manager. I systematically stand out, in a good way, thanks to a solid background of high-level knowledge, not only in aircraft airworthiness but also in civil aviation safety more generally.

My teaching skills quickly came to the fore, thanks in particular to the workshop leadership responsibilities I took on during my work placement. This experience contributed directly to my promotion, when I took over the pedagogical management of the CCAA Training School.

Thanks to the academic credibility of ISAE-SUPAERO and the recognition of the programme by industry players, I was able to establish myself as an airworthiness reference within Cameroon’s civil aviation sector. This position has also enabled me to play an active part in large-scale regional projects, such as the development of Community regulations on initial and continuing airworthiness for the CEMAC zone.

What specific skills developed at ISAE-SUPAERO do you use the most today?

Skills in initial airworthiness, continuing airworthiness management, post-certification activities and safety event management, and knowledge of the certification requirements for different aircraft systems.

His advice

What advice would you give to a future candidate for an ISAE-SUPAERO Advanced Master®?

To a future candidate, I would say: Be prepared to invest yourself fully and take advantage of the professional network that this AM will offer you. It will give you much more than a title: intellectual rigour and the ability to evolve in complex, multicultural environments. This Advanced Master® will give you all the keys you need to make your dreams come true, and as a bonus, you’ll also have doors already open to you when you leave.

In your opinion, what makes your ISAE-SUPAERO Advanced Master® so special?

The specialist experience of the lecturers, the industrial base and the international outlook.

” Thanks to this AM, my dreams have ceased to be illusions: They have become my professional reality “.

If you had to sum up your experience in one word, three adjectives or one sentence?

Dream enabler.
