Supervisor: doc. Ing. Jiří Hlinka, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: LÚ all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech or English
Aims of the course unit:
The main objective of the course is to extend knowledge gained at the courses Aircraft on-board systems I and II, about dynamic properties modelling of individual elements and systems, about predictive method possibilities of reliability analysis, and about evaluations of operation and experimental data to increase the flight safety.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Student will gain knowledge and experience of construction and operation parameters of aircraft on-board systems.
Prerequisites:
Basic knowledge of conservation laws of hydrodynamics, electrical engineering, automatic control, informatics and programming.
Course contents:
Aircraft on-board systems, evaluations and latest possibilities. Characteristics of individual types of on-board systems, regulation requirements. Possibilities of influence modelling of constructional and operational parameters on dynamic properties of individual elements and systems. Evaluations of on-board systems reliability. Development of the reliability analysis predictive methods. Possibilities of check-up reliability with respect to increase the flight operation safety.
