Aircraft On-Board Systems II (FSI-OPL-A)

Academic year 2021/2022
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Jiří Hlinka, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: LÚ all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: English
Aims of the course unit:
Students will learn of the aircraft onboard system. The main emphasis is given to the explanation of the on-board information system and its individual sub-systems.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Knowledge of principles of different aircraft onboard systems and their development tendencies.
Prerequisites:
Basic knowledge of the theory of aut. control - characteristics and transfer functions of elementary factors, servo-mechanism. Basic knowledge of electrical engineering.
Course contents:
Onboard information system, instruments, equipment and devices for the aircraft control. Manual, semiautomatic and automatic flight control systems.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
The course-unit credit requirements: The attendance at exercises is compulsory (80% at the minimum). The exam is written or oral.
Controlled participation in lessons:
The attendance at seminars is compulsory (80% at the minimum). The absence (in justifiable cases) can be compensated by personal consultation with the lecturer and working out individually assignments. Individual assignments must be finished and handed in during the course-unit credit week at the latest.
