Aeronautical Support Systems (FSI-9ZLT)

Academic year 2018/2019
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Slavomír Vosecký, CSc.  
Supervising institute: LÚ all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech or English
Aims of the course unit:
A student should increase his magister-study knowledge of aeronautical support systems and understand all new trends in the corresponding European as well as world R&D (research & development).
Learning outcomes and competences:
Understanding of all new trends in European and ICAO R&D of aeronautical support systems should prepare the student for his future work in the specialization.
Prerequisites:
Knowledge of mathematics and physics gained during previous study of a technical college. Fundamentals of CNS, (Communication, Navigation, Surveillance), already completed in special courses (i.e. pilot qualification JAA-FCL1 exams, aeronautical airborne & ground support aids theoretical/practical courses etc.)
Course contents:
The subject involves the state-of-art and trends in the field of aeronautical support systems. It contains: Annex 10 and its modifications. Civil aviation frequencies. Fixed as well as mobile telecommunication services. Short-range navigation. Long range navigation. Instrument approach & landing systems. Primary radars. Secondary/monoimpulse radars and the S-mode. Radar information processing & displays. The FANS, the FEATS, and the ECAC concepts for the nineteenths. CNS/ATM systems for the 2000+. A modern communication (ATN, VDL, CIDIN). Satellite navigation systems (EGNOS, GALILEO). European surveillance concept. The ADS system. Automated European ATC systems. The Airborne Collision Avoiding System.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
A student is to understand knowledge in question and show it during the oral examination.
Controlled participation in lessons:
The course is based on self study of specialized parts in accordance with the tutor´s guidance.
Missing knowledge is supplied by specialized consultations. Efficiency of the student´s work is checked by the subject guarantor continuously during the consultations.
