    Enhancing safety in glider flights
    (University of Žilina, 2023) Gánovský, Martin; Kandera, Branislav
    The theme of paper is to find out new possibilities in safety improvements during sailplanes flights, focusing primarily on flights when the separation with other traffic is reduced. At the beginning a summary of glider evolution across the centuries is made starting with the interwar period to the shapes that we know from the latest exhibitions. First part of the paper is followed by the analysis of the current available technical measurements which enhance safety and reduce the probability of in-flight collisions during various phases of flight, including latest and most modern technical implementations used by glider operators to enhance the safety of themselves and others. We will also look up for any available legislative rules based both on national civil authority regulations defined by state itself and for regulations that were created by Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) which covers most of glider competitions organized world-wide. In practical part we followed our thoughts about how to improve the current situation in this part of the aviation industry. In following steps, we decided to ask the glider pilots about their personal experience with reduced separation caused by nearby gliders during different phases of operations. Generally, there is a huge number of mid-air collisions during sailplane competitions and flight phases where pilots are crossing each other by minimal separation (mountain ridge flying). We decided to suggest minor legislative regulations and technical implementations to improve current situation world-wide and make these flights as safe as possible with minimizing of future incidents.

    VÝVOJ LETECKÝCH PRÍSTROJOV BEZMOTOROVÝCH LIETADIEL
    (Žilinská univerzita v Žiline, 2020) Varholíková, Diana; Kandera, Branislav
    The theme of this paper is the development of flight instruments used in gliders. First part of the thesis describes the history of gliding followed by closely related description of development of the instrumentation. This chapter also looks into the history of flight instruments and the comparisons in evolution of the instrument panels and their contents of the instrumentation of gliders, which differ depending of their use, i.e. recreational, training or competitive flying purpose. The next chapter enumerating the instruments that the glider must contain. The fourth part contains a description of modern instruments and systems that replace classical devices with gradual development and provide a number of new features and views to the pilot. The last part is the design of new instrumentation for the VSO-10 glider, which is owned by Aeroclub Poprad. The change in the cockpit includes three versions of the proposal, which differ mainly on the basis of pricing. The section continues with the procedures and measures necessary to approve the replacement or construction of new proposed equipment in this type of glider.
