Typical day of a student

A day of academic classes at the French Air and Space Force Academy is organized as follows :

* The military or aeronautical training phases are carried out during a period known as "blocked", from 1 to 4 weeks.

In the morning, the alarm clock rings before 07.00 am and the student dining facility opens for breakfast. Academic classes begin at 08.00 am. The subjects are varied, ranging from fluid mechanics to aviation history. Four hours of sports are also part of the weekly schedule.

At 12:15, classes end, and a daily report precedes lunch. This is an opportunity to receive instructions and information for the day or week. Classes resume from 01:30 to 05:45 pm. However, the personal work required allows students to relax at the end of the day.

After the first months of blocked time, students are free to organize their evening as they wish. The student dining facility is open for dinner. Sports facilities are available, and it is also possible to go out in the city for the evening.

During the year, some weeks are dedicated to military training or glider flight for the flight personnel. Specific instructors take care of the schedule.
