| Summary |
|---|
The course is based on module 022 - aircraft instruments. Complements the course Basics of Electrical Engineering in Aviation I. The content is focused on the principles of basic aircraft instruments and the use of aircraft electronic instrument systems.
The student will acquire competencies in the field of aircraft instruments, basics of navigation and satellite technology to the extent that allows him to pass PPL exams at the Civil Aviation Authority in Prague. |
| 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. |
