Academic year 2023/2024 |
Supervisor: | Ing. Miroslav Šplíchal, Ph.D. | |||
Supervising institute: | LÚ | |||
Teaching language: | Czech | |||
Aims of the course unit: | ||||
The course objective is to make students familiar with basic principles of aeronautical navigation. |
||||
Learning outcomes and competences: | ||||
Students will learn to understand the basis of aircraft navigation. They will be made familiar with structure of navigation operations as well as with principles of operation of navigation equipment, basic navigation quantities and procedures how to measure them. The subject defines basic navigation parameters and methods of navigation measurements. Students will also be acquainted with tendencies of future navigation systems development. |
||||
Prerequisites: | ||||
Knowledge of high school mathematics and physics. |
||||
Course contents: | ||||
The subject contains fundamental information about air navigation equipment. It is intended for bachelors of machine engineering ( "no-pilots"), whose have not pass any of the ATPL courses (courses of professional pilots). |
||||
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. |
||||
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes: | ||||
Conditions for obtaining the course-unit credit: 80% participation at the lectures (as the minimum), and 50% evaluation of a written test at least. Successful result of the course-unit credit test is the basic condition to attend the oral examination. Classification of the examination is predetermined by the BUT university requirements. |
||||
Controlled participation in lessons: | ||||
Lectures (min. 80% attendance) and exercises (100% attendance) are realized by means of audio-visual method and therefore student´s presence is necessary. |
||||
Type of course unit: | ||||
Lecture | 13 × 3 hrs. | optionally | ||
Exercise | 13 × 1 hrs. | compulsory | ||
Course curriculum: | ||||
Lecture | 1. Introduction to aircraft navigation problems (Galaxy, Solar system, Earth). 2. Earth magnetism. Aircraft magnetism. Magnetic compasses. 3. Navigation parameters and co-ordinate systems. 4. Construction of aeronautic maps (projections). 5. Properties and ways of use of aeronautic maps. 6. Aeronautic navigation equipment. Navigation aids. 7. Aeronautic navigation systems. Aircraft position in space. 8. Methods of measurement of navigation parameters. Kinds of possible errors. 9.

INS/IRS (principle of operation, use in air navigation; data filtration). 12. Air navigation methods (FANS recommendation; RNAV, RNP, RVSM, PBN). 13. Consultations; reserve; credit test. |
|||
Exercise | 1.-3. Navigation parameters and coordinate systems. |
