    Meteorological information resources for aircraft crews
    (University of Zilina, 2022) Slušný, Radoslav; Jarošová, Miriam
    This article addresses the issue of available meteorological information resources and their importance for aircraft crews, with special regard to the ways of disseminating meteorological information and the possibilities of providing it to crews. The aim of the article is to process a comprehensive set of information about meteorological information resources and methods of obtaining meteorological information in aviation. The article has a theoretical character. It summarizes the basic terminology and defined concepts of the processed issues, with an effort for a logical focus of the chapters that are adequately addressed. In the discussion and conclusion, we pointed out the importance of meteorological resources for aircraft crews, the need for proper assessment and evaluation of the obtained meteorological information, in order to ensure the safe course of the flight.

    Weather influence on flight in mountain terrain
    (University of Zilina, 2021) Galko, Róbert; Jarošová, Miriam
    The aim of the paper is to approach and get acquainted with meteorological elements that occur in mountain areas and how their occurrence affects the fluidity and safety of air traffic. The first part of the work was devoted to the history of observing meteorological conditions together with the development of monitored variables, their measurement scales and units used. Subsequently, climatology and meteorology were specified as scientific disciplines and weather in general. Furthermore, in the work we discussed in more detail the part of the atmosphere where the biggest changes in the weather and its creation take place. To illustrate the importance of monitoring and not underestimating meteorological phenomena, we emphasized the failure of the human factor in the most tragic aviation accident that occurred on the island of Tenerife. In the penultimate part of the theoretical part, we paid attention to the meteorological elements themselves, which have the greatest impact on aviation in mountainous areas. In the last theoretical part, we talked about aerial weather reports, which we also decoded. In the practical part, we characterized the airport Poprad-Tatry in terms of location in relation to the surrounding mountains and observed how the investigated meteorological elements affect the area.
