Learning outcomes of the course unit

Knowledge of principles of different aircraft onboard systems and their development tendencies. Knowledge and calculation of errors for selected equipment (gyros, etc.).

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of the theory of aut. control – characteristics and transfer functions of elementary factors, servo-mechanism. Basic knowledge of electrical engineering.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The course-unit credit requirements: The attendance at exercises is compulsory (80% at the minimum). The exam is written or oral.

Course curriculum

Not applicable.

Work placements

Not applicable.

Aims

Students will learn of the aircraft onboard system. The main emphasis is given to the explanation of the on-board information system and its individual sub-systems.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

The attendance at seminars is compulsory (80% at the minimum). The absence (in justifiable cases) can be compensated by personal consultation with the lecturer and working out individually assignments. Individual assignments must be finished and handed in during the course-unit credit week at the latest.

Recommended optional programme components
