Operation and Economy of Air Devices II (FSI-OP2)

Academic year 2023/2024
Supervisor: Ing. Jiří Chlebek, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: LÚ all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The aim is to introduce to aircraft operation economy as a means of transport , productivity of the aircraft operation and special aerial works, about their impact of noise, emissions and air pollutants on the environment and technological processes in air transport. In all forecasts, students learn about global trends in the development of air transport of passengers and cargo, and their impact on regional development and requirements for technical and technological security of operations.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Students will become familiar with the possibilities of the use of aircraft technology, by selecting the renewal and the fleet of aircraft operator expansion , fleet composition and deployment on various tracks surrender. They learn how to organize the operation of aircraft technology, so that the effects on the environment.
Prerequisites:
PELD I.
Course contents:
Subject PELD II is to familiarize students with the impact of air traffic on the economy of aviation technology, a method for direct operational costs, profitability and profit impact of air transport on the environment, air traffic over short distances, mass and mass air transport, supersonic air transport forecasts and perspectives of development of air transport.
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:
The course-unit credit requirements: the attendance at exercises (80% at the minimum), reports elaboration in a prescribed form, working out assignments. The examination is of written (exercises and questions) and oral forms ( additional questions).
Controlled participation in lessons:
Lectures and exercises are compulsory, and the attendance (80% at the minimum) is controlled and recorded. The absence (in justifiable cases) can be compensated after personal consultation with the lecturer and elaboration of individually assigned topics and exercises. Individual assignments must be finished and handed in the credit week at the latest.
