Technology and Organization of Air Traffic
Syllabus
- Definition, content, meaning and functional breakdown of the system structure of air traffic technology by type and level of activity.
- Air transport technology:
⎯ transport and technological and transport economic characteristics of civil passenger and goods air transport,
⎯ the methodology and parameters for selecting the airplane and the structure of the air carrier's fleet,
⎯ valuable and natural aspects of the transport work and the effect of the transport process.
- Reception and Expedition Technology:
⎯ traffic-technological and traffic-economic characteristics of airports,
⎯ methodology and parameters for monitoring and forecasting traffic flows of aircraft, passengers and cargo and means of transport land side of the airport,
⎯ models and methodology for determining the capacity of work operations in the passenger and cargo terminal and the capacity of the airport infrastructure elements,
⎯ valuable and natural aspects of the transport work and the impact of the process of acceptance and elimination of aircraft, passengers, baggage and cargo.
- Air Traffic Management Technology:
⎯ definition and functional breakdown of the air traffic management system and definition, meaning, competence,
responsibilities and work methods of the subsystems: traffic flow management, airspace management and air traffic control services, including: air traffic control services, airline information service and alarm services, with an emphasis on the definition of hazard phases and procedures at the declared risk;
- definition, classification and dimensioning of airspace and air routes;
- airspace navigation equipment;
⎯ technical means of the air traffic management system;
- methods of work in the air traffic management system;
⎯ meaning, methodology of implementation and organization of coordination of activities in the air traffic system.
Development of air traffic technology and technology.
Goals and competencies
