 Executive summary
This report is about to explain what I did and learned during my internship period with Civil
Aviation Authority
ICT development office, head data center. As the main purpose of internship is to learn by
working in practical environment and to apply the knowledge acquired during the studies in a
real world scenario in order to tackle the problems using the knowledge and skill learned during
the academic process.
I have discussed about every major aspect of the facility network (ICT), which I observed and
perceived during my internship program
The most important in an internship program is that the student should spend their time in a true
manner and with the spirit to learn practical orientation of theoretical study framework. This
report is about my internship that I have undergone at Civil Aviation ICT development
office head data center from . During my internship I am able to learn practical aspect of
network and get good working experience.

Background of the Civil Aviation

The History of Aviation in Ethiopia

  History of aviation in Ethiopia goes back to 1929 when French made airplane, Potez 25 flown by a
French pilot Andre Milet landed in the western side of Addis Ababa enrooted from Djibouti. This was
26 years after the first attempted flight by the Wright brothers and two years after the famous flight
across the Atlantic by Captain Lind burg. Although Millet piloted the first aircraft which marked the
history of aviation in the country, soon came with his successors with other types of airplane after
one month time- in the month of September.
  In 1930 five sweater airplane like Farman-192 and others were purchased by the government for
postal, security and government services between the towns of Dire Dawa, Djibouti, Debremarkos
and Gondar. The dream that Ethiopian they would pilot the airplane was not long in coming true. In
1930 Gaston Vidal, a French Instructor, established the first pilot training School in the town of
Jigjiga which produced Mishka babichief and Asfaw Ali who were certified to be the first Ethiopian
pilots. Mishka made his first solo flight on sept. 1, 1930 followed by Asfaw Ali only after thirteen
days. Very soon Bahiru Kaba and Tesfamikael Haile were also added to the number. What is
remarkable of that time was that W/ro Mulumebet Emrru also turned out to be one of the first
Ethiopian female pilots. The school at Jigjiga was not only limited to the pilot training, but also
added aircraft maintenance. Maintenance work was also began at Jenmeda (Addis Ababa) and
Dessie. From 1926-1936 new domestic routes were opened to Gefersa, Bishoftu, Janmeda and Akaki,
and the country had also acquired twenty airplanes until the occupation of Italy.
  The aircraft technology did also cross a new frontier in Ethiopia with the assembling of the first
aircraft named ETHIOPIAN ONE or TSEHAY by Land wing Weber, German national and engineer-
in-charge. But During the Italian occupation the Ethiopian patriots camouflaged ETHIOPIA ONE in
a forest with the idea that it would escape the Italian loot. But all their effort was in vain since the
Italians got access to the hidden aircraft which today is kept in a museum in a naval force near Rome.

   Fig.1. The first Aircraft manufactured in Ethiopia known as “Tsehay”

  In 1930 the first maintenance technicians and flying school established in jigjiga, eastern Ethiopia
and our forerunners were graduated in 1931. In 1944 the Ethiopian government was invited by the
United States of America to attend the Chicago conference of December 7, 1944. This made Ethiopia
one of the few African nations to sign the convention of the International Civil Aviation Organization.
  This same year another major step was taken by the Government of Ethiopia and the Civil Aviation
Authority was founded. One year later in 1945 Ethiopian Airlines was founded with six-second world
surplus DC-3/c-47 airplanes. In 1951 through the technical assistance provided by the International
Civil Aviation Organization aviation school was opened in Addis Ababa. The first 60 trainees of the
school were trained in Communication, Navigation, Aircraft, Metrology, and Radio operation and
maintenance.
