I basically repair/troubleshoot, install/replace and perform routine maintenance on onboard radars and avionics instrumentations at the airport and sometimes on the field (such as Air Canada planes stranded in Europe or the U.S.) as part of the emergency response team. I'm 19, in case anyone's wondering.

I would actually know how you got into this field of work, sounds incredibly interessting

16-month intensive formation at l'École nationale d'aérotechnique du Québec (basically translates to National Aéronautics School of Québec) if you already have 12 months of post-secondary education (so college or trade school basically), or 3 years if you don't. Technicians in avionics and other fields such as aerospace materials are in high demand due to the retirement of baby-boomers. Wages vary from anywhere from $65k-$120k a year.

TACAN systems are used in a military application. I work on civilian aircraft, mainly transatlantic commercial airliners such as Boeing 777. Civil aviation uses the VOR/DME system, which is very similar. In fact, TACAN is a type of VOR/DME system used for military aviation.

Cool! I was there for a few years in the late 90s. I was in the OSS, weather guy. I LOVED my time there. Had a second job teaching English and did some TV commercials too. And the women.....
