Analysis of the earth's surface influence on the accuracy of non directional beacon in mountain terrain
(University of Zilina, 2021) Novák, Andrej; Novák Sedláčková, Alena; Lusiak, Tomasz; Stelmach, Anna
This paper deals with the measuring and checking of the Non Directional Beacon using flying laboratory AeroLab 1 at University of Zilina. It is based on the most simple radio navigation concept: a ground-based radio transmitter (the NDB) sends an omnidirectional signal that an aircraft loop antenna receives. Our practical measurement shows that the NDB satisfies ICAO standards and can be used in industrial part of urban area and is functional in spite of the interference. The paper concentrates on the measuring of the Non Directional Beacon (NDB) which is installed close to industrial part of the city. The ADF/NDB navigation system is one of the oldest air navigation system still in use today. One of the paper's goals is to familiarize the aviation public with the practical measurement of this urban area phenomenon in terms of flight safety, which is common in mountainous nations such as Slovakia. The article's other purpose is to educate professionals in the area about this occurrence in terms of its nature as a physical rule, in order to develop solutions to improve the navigation system's measurement accuracy.
ANALÝZA RUŠENIA SIGNÁLU GNSS NA LETISKU POPRAD- TATRY
(Žilinská univerzita v Žiline, 2020) Novák, Andrej; Novák Sedláčková, Alena; Stelmach, Anna
The paper is focused on the GNSS signal interference during the airport approach procedures at small Slovak regional airport Poprad-Tatry. The paper analyzes the simulation of the situation during the identification and monitoring of GNSS signal interference by ground station situated at the airport. Nowadays is still important to develop air transport and increasing the safety and continuity of provided services even at small regional airports. One of the most appropriate possibilities is to use at this kind of airports with insufficiently equipped navigation infrastructure the GNSS approach. The monitoring of reliability of this system and implementation of monitoring the GNSS signal interference in the final phase of the instrument approach will increase the safety of the flight.

Komparace letecké legislativy v oblasti licencování leteckého personálu v EU, USA a Kanadě
(University of Žilina, 2025) Kyjovská, Kristýna; Novák Sedláčková, Alena
This article is focused on comparison and analysis of the aviation legislation governing the licensing of aviation personnel in the European Union, the United States of America, and Canada. The goal is to compare the differences in the legislative framework for aviation personnel licensing and the potential cross-border transfer and validation of licenses in between these regions. Furthermore, this work examines the implementation of international standards set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the role of national and supranational organizations, including EASA, FAA, and Transport Canada. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) oversees the standardization of legislation among EU member states. One of the many responsibilities of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) includes licensing aviation personnel in the United States of America. In Canada, matters of aviation legislative issues, including licensing of aviation personnel, are managed by Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA). Despite the existence of a requirement for international unification of aviation personnel licensing, differences can be found between individual national legislations, and therefore, in the case of foreign license validation, fulfillment of specific requirements is necessary for their international transfer and recognition.

Operator – Pilot Learning Success With Aviation Ergatic System Control
(University of Zilina, 2015) Kurdel, Pavol; Lazar, Tobiáš; Novák Sedláčková, Alena
The unique mission of operator – pilot during the performed flight lies in the responsibility for selected aircraft position doctrine along determine flight trajectory determined by programme. The mutuality of the relationship of the operator - pilot (OP) and the aircraft completes the image of an ergatic system [7] in which the OP is bound to the object (aircraft), makes decisions in complex flight situations, optimises the transfer of the aircraft into a regular flight. OP also decides about the change to manual aircraft control, which is the main feature of a selective method of flight ergatic system along determined flight trajectory control. The paper shows a method of determination and evaluation of operator – pilot with the aim to obtain quality in successful fulfilment of aviation ergatic system.

PRÁVNA ÚPRAVA MEDZINÁRODNÉHO CIVILNÉHO LETECTVA
(Žilinská univerzita v Žiline, 2020) Pudíková, Alžbeta; Novák Sedláčková, Alena
Aviation is one of the most important types of transport and is one of the fastest growing sectors. Most civil flights are predominantly international in nature, which is an important factor in civil aviation legislation. Main aim of work is to analyse the legislation in civil aviation in the field of international aviation law. The work deals with the definition of the airspace as the space above the state land territory, internal and coastal waters, which is part of the state territory. Each state has complete and absolute sovereignty over the airspace above the territory of the state. The division of airspace, which is analysed in the article, is important for air traffic controllers and for providers of air navigation services. The legal norms that regulate the regime of flights over the defined territories of states are known as freedoms of the air. The authors acquaint the reader with the basic terms and definitions from the theory of law for a proper understanding of the international civil aviation law. We also analysed the most important legal aspects in the international civil aviation which are contained in bilateral conventions. At the end is a list of the most important conventions related to aviation law and protection against acts of unlawful interference. The article concludes with the Slovak Aviation Act as the most important national civil aviation law in the Slovak republic country.
