Course detail
Air Navigation Devices
FSI-OLNAcad. year: 2018/2019
The subject contains fundamental information about air navigation equipment. It is intended for bachelors of machine engineering ( "no-pilots"), whose have not pass any of the ATPL courses (courses of professional pilots).
Subject contents:
Introduction to air navigation. Terminology. Main questions and objections of air navigation. the methods used. Navigation parameters and measurement methods. Main features of construction of navigation aids and systems. Processing of navigation data obtained. Contemplations and tendencies of modernization of aircraft navigation equipment.

Aims
To teach the students to analyse tasks of the equipment, solve navigation problems and expound functions and fundamentals of construction of all kinds of traditional as well as modern navigation aids and systems, used in civilian aeronautics.
To show kinds of cooperation between civil and military navigation structures in common areas of airspace and possible ways of their future development.
