Original abstract

Civil aviation is generally perceived as an area of human activity that places an extreme burden on the environment. This statement is often published without further explanation of the reasons leading to this clear conclusion. On closer analysis, it can be concluded that aviation has a general adverse impact on the environment, but so do many other human activities. If we were to look at aviation in more detail, we would find that it has been trying to reduce its environmental impact continuously since the second half of the last century. Whether it is in the form of procedures and technical solutions to reduce fuel consumption, or in reducing emissions, noise pollution, etc. In a number of areas (e.g. general aviation), it can contribute to the preservation and protection of the natural landscape (fauna and flora) by forming a natural barrier to the impact of other human activities in the area (road construction, urbanisation, etc.).
