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.

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

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.
