Súčasný stav a rozvoj systému pohybových plôch na letisku M. R. Štefánika
(University of Žilina, 2024) Adamík, Jozef; Kazda, Antonín
In view of the dynamic development of air transport, it is essential that airport infrastructure is adapted to the requirements of modern aircraft. The thesis analyses the historical development of the infrastructure of M. R. Štefánik Airport (BTS). This research involves guided interviews and questionnaires with seven experts of practice who provided insight into the current state of the BTS airport. These experts were selected from five different areas, including BTS Airport, Air Navigation Service Provider (LPS), noise and vibration assessment (Euroakustik company), runway systems capacity, and the perspective of the Bratislava Metropolitan institute. The aim of the thesis is to propose appropriate recommendations for BTS Airport, the main proposal being the use of one runway (RWY) in 'mix mode' instead of using both RWYs at the same time. This proposal is supported by the cost of the RWY reconstruction, which has been compared with other airports in Europe and North America. To validate the capacity of a single RWY, the Airfield Capacity Spreadsheet Prototype Model (ACRP 79) will be used, in which several inputs have been adjusted according to BTS airport operations such as: aircraft operating from BTS airport, aircraft separations, aircraft approach speeds, and RWY occupancy time. The model simulates operations in August and December 2023 and projected operations in 2028. Other recommendations include modification of some taxiways (TWY), apron modifications, and analysis of the use of jetways on the apron stands. Finally, the impacts of a possible restriction of airport Curfew at BTS are also being examined.

Využití metod vibrační analýzy pro kontinuální sledování technického stavu kritických prvků leteckého turbínového motoru
(University of Žilina, 2024) Mrakvia, Dominik Michael; Hrúz, Michal
The reliable operation of an aircraft turbine engine is critical to the safety, regularity and economy of airline operations. Existing methods for vibration diagnostics of jet engines have provided valuable information on potential problems and have proven to be an important and irreplaceable tool for jet engine maintenance, especially for predictive maintenance. However, real-time vibration diagnostics of critical components of in-service jet engines is only marginally used and its full potential is not being realised. The main objective of this work is to verify the use of vibration analysis methods currently used in the diagnostic processes of continuous condition monitoring of aircraft jet engines and, in addition, new advanced analysis methods in the environment of a newly designed vibrodiagnostic setup for the purpose of simulating selected types of damage to critical parts of an aircraft turbine engine. The first sub-target is to design, develop and verify the functionality of the vibrodiagnostic assembly for data acquisition and subsequent analysis. The second sub-task is to monitor and record vibrodiagnostic data using an accelerometer. The nature of each simulated condition is determined using vibration signal analysis methods. This provides a small-scale analogy to the diagnostic processes of critical elements of an aircraft turbine engine. The thesis also focuses on the potential for innovation in this area, particularly by improving the use of measured data. The results of the analysis are used to develop a proposal for a possible vibration monitoring system for use in engines currently in service.

(University of Žilina, 2024) Kupka, Hugo; Badánik, Benedikt
The growing popularity of air travel increases the demands on qualified ATC personnel. Despite technological advances offering operational benefits, the ever-increasing need for skilled personnel remains. The diploma thesis deals with the construction of an ATC simulator at the Department of Air Transport. The ATC simulator is an excellent practice-educational aid, among other things, quite fun, for students who are interested in the air traffic control industry or who want to become air traffic controllers. Simulator training enhances their practical skills and prepares them for the demands of industry. Through a study of the global concept of ATC simulators and market analysis, we introduce the reader to the issue of ATC simulators. This is followed by a focus on the analysis of ATC simulators used for personnel training in Slovakia and neighboring countries. After a theoretical introduction to ATC simulators, we define the goals and methodological approaches of the work, which prepare the ground for the following practical part of the work, in which we will focus exclusively on the simulator we built. We will move on to examine in more detail the build, configuration and key roles of the "Escape Light" software provided by Eurocontrol which is our simulation software for ATC simulations. Through detailed explanations and visualizations, we will clarify the functions and features of the individual program parts of the Escape Light software, which are necessary for the effective operation of the simulator. In the final part, we will describe the finished simulator and all the functionalities it has. The creation of the exercise is the necessary conclusion of the construction, and at the same time it is the result of the practical application of the knowledge gained during the construction of the simulator.
Politika obstarania lietadiel leasingom podľa modelu podnikania leteckých dopravcov
(University of Žilina, 2024) Chynoranský, Jakub; Tomová, Anna
The paper analyses the possible dependence of airline business models and the ratio of aircraft acquired through leasing in their fleets. The research sample consisted of 15 airlines, with 4 categories of business models represented: low-cost (LCC), 2 hybrid and full-service network business model (FSC). Based on the results obtained, we can conclude the dependence of business models and leasing ratio in the case of research sample. The demonstrated dependence was confirmed in the analysis when the scale of the fleet was taken into account. The findings confirm the view of the authors describing the low-cost business model as the one with a higher tendency to acquire aircraft by leasing, and, on the contrary, the traditional network model with a lower tendency. However, unlike other authors' studies, we have shown that the increase in the proportion of leased aircraft in fleets over the 2018-2022 study period was experienced by carriers in all business model categories, and the rise in the leasing market was not driven by growth in one business model - FSC. We propose to include the ratio of leased aircraft in the airline fleet among the attributes of the business model analysis, but an important step is to consider fleet size. We recommend conducting a similar analysis on a wider sample of airlines and continuing to research this topic.

(University of Žilina, 2024) Krajcer, Marek; Urminský, Tomáš
EASA Part 145, a framework that governs the approval and operation of maintenance organisations, is one of the key elements in the regulatory environment targeting the technical condition of aircraft. Changes and amendments to EASA Part 145, which followed the adoption of Commission Regulation (EU) No. 1321/2014, also affect Continuing Airworthiness Management Organizations (CAMO). This paper examines how these changes of integration are reflected in the actual operation of CAMO helping to understand the degree of interconnection between the aircraft maintenance field and the management of continuing airworthiness. The introductory chapters provide a theoretical overview of the regulations, focusing on EASA Parts 145, M, and CAMO. Based on this theoretical framework, the study presents an in-depth analysis of recent changes and amendments to EASA Part 145, identifying their impact on CAMO operations. The enrichment of the data stems from a survey distributed among experts in practice, capturing insights and firsthand experience. This survey, a central part of the paper, explores their views on the consequences of implementing changes and the challenges they face.

Proposal of the training plan for simulator pilots in the environment of LPS SR, š.p.
(University of Žilina, 2024) Poljak, Matúš; Beňo, Karol
The pace of development in air traffic management (ATM) procedures and technologies, along with their implementation into air traffic control (ATC), necessitates the modification of existing training plans for both newly qualified and already certified air traffic controllers (ATCOs) in the Slovak Republic. These changes are integrated into actual operations through practical exercises on ATM simulation devices within the premises of the Training Center of the Air Navigation Services of the Slovak Republic. A crucial component of each exercise is the simulator pilot, whose task is to simulate air traffic operations based on current flight procedures and rules. The aim of this work is to propose a detailed training plan for simulator pilots using MaxSIM and radar simulator for ATM systems LETVIS and Eurocat 2000, specifically tailored to the environment of the Air Navigation Services, taking into account the current requirements and needs of the Training Center (TC) as well as all ATC units using TC services. The resulting training plan includes the structure of the training, outlines of theoretical knowledge, presents exercise objectives, factors monitored by the practical training instructor, and evaluations of the performance of the pseudo-pilot in these exercises. The proposal introduces new exercises that address issues currently not covered in pseudo-pilot training, specifically in the approach control environments of Virtcity, Košice, and Štefánik, as well as tower control environments of Virtcity, Košice, Pieštany, Poprad-Tatry, Žilina, and Štefánik. For the Area Control Center in Bratislava, based on consultations with the lead instructor of this unit, the work suggests specialized exercises where the pseudo-pilot actively assumes the role of controlling neighboring positions, thereby increasing the knowledge requirements regarding coordination between positions.
