The introduction emphasizes the importance of safety in aviation, defines key concepts and categorizes hazards. Subsequently, safety strategies and accident classifications are presented, highlighting significant historical events. The core of the work consists of an analysis of traditional (flight recorders analysis, wreckage analysis, witness testimonies) and analytical methods (qualitative, quantitative, semi-quantitative), with a particular focus on methods for detecting human failures (HFACS) and accident structure (Reason's and Shell model). The conclusion evaluates and compares the analyzed methods in terms of their strengths and weaknesses and their suitability for various accidents. The application of the methods is illustrated with selected historical accidents. The results confirm that a combination of different methods is necessary for effective investigation. The thesis highlights the importance of traditional methods for data acquisition and analytical methods for identifying deeper causes. The aim of the thesis is fulfilled by providing an overview and analysis of the methods, which contributes to a better understanding of aircraft accident investigation.Item Detekcia rušenia GNSS signálu prostredníctvom ADS-B prijímačov(University of Žilina, 2025) Trnkus, Oliver; Novák, AndrejIn this thesis, the detection of GNSS interference by ADS-B receivers and its impact on the accuracy of air navigation is investigated. GNSS systems are important for modern aviation and can be jammed, which threatens the safety of air traffic. ADS-B is a GNSS dependent system which allows monitoring and identification of areas of increased interference. As GNSS jamming events become more frequent, there is an increasing need for reliable approaches to detect jamming and minimise its impact. ADS-B can help to identify unusual deviations in navigation and contribute to improving the safety of air traffic. The survey highlights the need to protect GNSS signals and develop technologies for their detection.Item Modelovanie vzdušných priestorov v prostredí Escape Light simulátora ATC pre potreby výučby na katedre leteckej dopravy(University of Žilina, 2025) Virga, Maximilián; Badánik, BenediktThis article addresses the issue of airspace modeling in the Escape Light air traffic control simulator with the aim of supporting educational activities at the Department of Air Transport of the University of Žilina. The objective is to analyze the methods of creating airspace models on ATC simulators both in Slovakia and abroad, and subsequently to develop and optimize a model of the Žilina Airport airspace based on defined requirements for the model itself and for training purposes. The thesis examines current practices used at domestic and international institutions and defines the criteria that the created model must meet for simulated air traffic control operations. It also presents the process of optimizing the model for the Escape Light environment and its adaptation for practical application in training. The conclusion evaluates the achieved results, identifies limitations, and proposes recommendations for further improvements to the developed model.Item Realizácia a nastavenie mechanizmu riadenia pre lietadlo STRATON D7(University of Žilina, 2025) Weinfortner, Jakub; Čerňan, JozefThe article is focused on the design and optimization of the control system of the ultralight aircraft Straton D7 “mini” with the aim of improving its flight performance during low-altitude flight. The main topics included the application of drag-inducing mechanization, the design of alternative control methods, and the use of modern composite materials in the production of control components. The theoretical part of the thesis presented an overview of aircraft control systems and analyzed individual control elements. In the practical part, a spoiler mechanism was designed, its functionality was tested, and the entire control system was adjusted. Furthermore, an alternative method of ground control using a tailwheel undercarriage was developed. The thesis also examined the possibilities of using composite materials for the production of control surfaces and Push rods, as well as the potential placement of aerodynamic trim tabs on V tail surfaces. The outcomes of the thesis represent an innovative approach to the design of the Straton D7 control system in the context of modern amateur aviation requirements.Item Využitie UAV pre monitorovanie a údržbu letiskovej infraštruktúry(University of Žilina, 2025) Levchenko, Vladyslava; Dianovský, RobertThe aim of this bachelor thesis is to explore the possibility of implementing UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) in the inspection and maintenance of airport infrastructure. The thesis focuses on identifying the most suitable areas in airport operations for UAV deployment and compares their advantages over traditional methods. Within this analysis, the technological capabilities of UAVs, their sensor equipment, and legal aspects of operation are examined in detail. Their application in airport operations and evaluation of implementation efficiency and cost-effectiveness are also investigated. In the practical part, a comparative analysis of two inspection approaches and methods for evaluating the effectiveness of UAV implementation into operations was used. For areas with the highest suitability for UAV deployment, a detailed methodology for their implementation was developed. The results of the thesis show that drones can significantly increase efficiency and safety in performing inspections, especially in areas with extensive and time-consuming operations. UAV implementation also brings economic benefits, such as reduced maintenance costs and limited disruption to airport operations. The conclusions of the thesis suggest that the optimal approach to UAV deployment in airport operations lies in their gradual integration in combination with traditional methods, leading to optimal results in terms of efficiency, safety, and costs.Item Systém pre meranie vybraných veličín vo veternom tuneli(University of Žilina, 2025) Antoniuk, Kateryna; Pecho, PavolThe article focuses on the design and implementation of a system for measuring selected quantities intended for application in a wind tunnel.
