Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
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).
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.
Aims
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.
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.
