    Analysis of selected vital functions of a pilot during flight
    (University of Žilina, 2023) Rimarčík, Timotej; Chodelka, Frederik
    Pilots work in distinct environment and there are many requirements they must fulfill to ensure the safe operation of an aircraft. However, there are also some psychological elements, that might be difficult to deal with, such as stress and high workload, while performing difficult flight tasks. This article explains what causes stress and high workload, and how does it affect pilots. Some of the vital functions of human body can be used to measure stress and high workload. The final part will deal with some research, using modern methods to measure stress and high workload during different flight phases, to upgrade cockpit ergonomics and procedures in aviation.

    Požiadavky na harmonizáciu údržby ultraľahkých lietadiel
    (University of Zilina, 2022) Škultéty, Filip; Čerňan, Jozef; Janovec, Michal; Chodelka, Frederik
    The exact definition of an Ultralight Aircraft is still very diverse, especially in the European region. Internationally, there are various Ultralight Aircraft (UL) classes with nationally varying certification regulations. Accordingly, Ultralight Aircraft is used colloquially ore or less comprehensively for Very Light Aircraft or Light-Sport Aircraft. However, they are subject to much stricter certification nd maintenance regulations. This paper aims to compare the current legal situation in the European Union countries, extract the best practices, and propose how a new “AMC & GM” should define the laws and regulations to create the best possible vironment for UL airworthiness. This paper is written based on information and directions published on the websites of the esponsible uthorities of the respective countries, as well as communication with these authorities and first-hand knowledge obtained by conducting numerous interviews with people in the field of UL maintenance. The results indicate how different each country egulates the maintenance and continuing airworthiness of ULs and how important a harmonised regulation would be. It is specially important to have clarity as with larger aircraft and thus also to prevent numerous accidents and hazardous situations in the future.

    Multi-crew cooperation training manual for air training and education centre
    (University of Zilina, 2021) Chodelka, Frederik
    The main goal of the training manual is to create a study material for the theoretical and practical part of the multi-crew cooperation training course, which is provided by the Air Training and Education Centre of the University of Žilina since 2007. At the same time, the purpose of the training manual will be to contribute to the quality of education, streamlining the multi-crew cooperation training course and to provide a comprehensive study material for pilots in training that reflects on the changes made from 2007 to the present. The reason which stimulated the elaboration of the training manual is mainly the already existing study material which has now proved to be outdated and insufficient for the needs of the training course. The training manual will reflect the legislative changes made, the modifications to the flight and navigation procedures trainer and some training elements, which are currently emphasized in the training process and will meet all the currently required criteria. The content of training manual which is based on valid and effective regulations, on the airplane flight manual of Beechcraft Super King Air B200 / B200C, inspired by internal operation manuals of the airline operators, internal manuals of the Air Training and Education Centre and is also based on the already existing study material. At the same time, it will be possible to implement some parts of the training manual into the internal manuals of the Air Training and Education Centre. Expected date of issue of training manual is May 2022.

    Methodology of MCC training in the conditions of the air training and education centre
    (University of Zilina, 2021) Chodelka, Frederik; Braciník, Tomáš
    The main goal of the paper is to create a methodology for the theoretical and practical part of the multi-crew cooperation training course, which is provided by the Air Training and Education Centre of the University of Žilina since 2007. At the same time, the purpose of the methodology will be to contribute to the quality of education, streamlining the multi-crew cooperation training course and to provide a comprehensive study material for training candidates that reflects on the changes made from 2007 to the present. The reason which stimulated the elaboration of the paper is mainly the already existing study material, published in 2007 within the publication Metodika pilotného výcviku na letovom simulátore, which has now proved to be outdated and insufficient for the needs of the training course. The training material does not reflect the legislative changes made, the modifications to the flight and navigation procedures trainer and some training elements, which are currently emphasized in the training process. The paper, the content of which is a new methodology focused exclusively on the multi-crew cooperation training course, is based on valid and effective regulations, on the airplane flight manual of Beechcraft Super King Air B200 / B200C, inspired by internal operation manuals of the airline operators, internal manuals of the Air Training and Education Centre and is also based on the Metodika pilotného výcviku na letovom simulátore. It will be possible to apply the content of the paper as an up-to-date methodology for theoretical and practical part of the multi-crew cooperation training course, which meets all the currently required criteria. At the same time, it will be possible to implement some parts of the paper into the internal manuals of the Air Training and Education Centre.

    ASSESSMENT OF THE MENTAL STATE OF PILOTS
    (Žilinská univerzita v Žiline, 2020) Kandera, Branislav; Chodelka, Frederik; Škvareková, Iveta
    The main aim of this article is to define and evaluate current status of the problem, to point out insufficient or even missing mental health examinations of pilots and possible fatal consequences including air accidents caused by pilots’ mental health. According to actual regulations, mental health examinations are being provided only during the first aero-medical examination when applying for first class medical certificate. Today, the mental health is not being evaluated even during the regular examinations for the first class certificate neither for other classes certificates. The mental state of pilots is almost never checked which can mean a real danger for civil aviation. The results of not controlling mental state of pilots might lead to fatal accidents and innocent lives losses. The analysis of air accidents covered in this thesis is based on accidents’ investigations final reports and other relevant sources. Also, the knowledge gained from interviews with experts is applied. Even though the air accidents caused by psychical state of pilots are infrequent, the examinations of pilots’ mental health should not definitely be underrated and neglected.
