| Access requirements | Dynamical meteorology 1, Weather analysis | |||||||||
| Aims of the course | Synthesis of knowledge from measurement and observation, dynamic meteorology, weather analysis and weather forecast for aviation needs. | |||||||||
| Learning outcomes | Adopting new and complex techniques in the process of measurement, observation, analysis and forecasting in aviation meteorology. Students are trained to be able to engage in a complex and extremely important meteorological aviation security system. | |||||||||
| Contents of the course | ||||||||||
| Lectures | 1. The role of the meteorological sector in the flight security. 2. Altimetry: altitudes by the density. 3. Navigation triangle of velocity. 4. Meteorological conditions for flight. 5. Contemporary methods of measurement and transfer of the data for aeronautical needs. 6. Hazardous weather for aeronautic. 7. Wind impact (windshear, microbursts, wind shear near the jet). 8. Turbulence (airplane and pilot reactions, causes and types of turbulence). 9. Icing (causes and effects of icing, types of icing). 10. Thunderstorms and flying; atmospheric electricity. 11. Volcanic ash. 12. Meteorological reports for Flight control service in the airports zones and at route (METAR, SPECI, AIREP, PIREP). 13. Meteorological forecast for aeronautical needs (TAF, TREND, forecast for take off, forecast for area and routes). 14. Meteorological information and warnings for aeronautical needs (SIGMET, AIRMET). | |||||||||
| Examples/ practical classes | Lectures were followed by practical exercises of students with an assistant. Exercises include: working with observation data, analyzing these data on synoptic maps, representing processes and occurrences that are important for flight safety, meteorological participation in the design of the runway, determining the impact of noise and pollution from the airport to the environment. A visit to the meteorological sector at the airport "Nikola Tesla" is also mandatory. | |||||||||
