| 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. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
| The subject´s goal is to achieve the necessary competencies to focus on basic avionics principles and avionics instrumentation equipment. Knowledge of this subject is a civil aviation regulations requirement by acquiring of some aviation qualifications. |
