    Airport operation disruptions
    (University of Žilina, 2022) Beťková, Kristína; Kazda, Antonín
    Disruptive events have a very strong potential to create a problem, spreading onwards to different participants in the chain of air travel. To minimalize the negative effects, this paper focused on how an airport can deal with disruptive operations effectively. The target of this paper was to come up with a step-by-step method, that airports could follow when coming up with a plan on how to manage their operations during these events. In order to reach this goal, it was essential to understand the principles causing disruptions and furthermore, categorizing them respectively. In addition to that, we had to find out what is the contribution of each category to the overall state of delays. Thanks to interviews with professionals at different international airports, we were able to come up with plans of trainings and exercises as a part of the suggested strategy. At the same time, in the proposed plan, several factors were mentioned, which were considered as an important part of the operations during interruptions that airports should not forget about.

    POROVNANIE VÝCVIKOVÝCH OSNOV PILOTOV V ČESKOSLOVENSKU Z OBDOBIA I. SVETOVEJ VOJNY A II. SVETOVEJ VOJNY
    (Žilinská univerzita v Žiline, 2020) Beťková, Kristína; Kazda, Antonín
    This paper covers the topic of the training curricula of pilots from the beginning of World War I till the end of World War II in Czechoslovakia. The purpose of this thesis was to focus on the process of the development of the training and factors, that affect this development. Since the author is in pilot training too, she considered it to be interesting enough to find out what was the development of the training and further process of adaptation, that she could later compare to the training she is a part of. The author obtained information mostly from description of historical events, that were substantiated by facts of evolution of aircraft. In the beginning, the thesis covers pilot training in the nowadays society and by obtaining additional information using the historical procedure, in individual chapters the author analyzes the functionality of training centers during particular periods, the characteristics of aircraft technology, the requirements imposed on pilots, the training itself and its development. Ultimately, the author concludes that the aircraft technology and the demands placed upon pilots during their career are the predominant causes of changes in training and, on the other hand, finds that the political situation, which used to affect the training during World War I and II greatly, is nowadays pushed to the background.
