Summary

The course is based on the module 022 - aircraft instruments. The content is focused on the description of the principles and functions of modern transport aircraft complex avionic systems. The student will acquire competencies in the field of complex instrument systems of transport aircraft, which have an impact on increasing the level of aircraft control safety. The level of knowledge will enable the student to pass the ATPL exams at the Prague Civil Aviation Authority.

Way of continuous check of knowledge in the course of semester

Continuous verification of students' knowledge in numerical exercises in the form of discussion and questions with the aim of active involvement of students in teaching. Students identify, look for a solution of given problems and their interpretation by students. Control tests for solving numerical examples, or selected theoretical parts. Students' knowledge is verified at the end of the semester by a written test and an oral exam.
