| Learning outcomes |
|
The aim of the subject is to acquaint students with the principles of general navigation, maps used in aviation, navigation calculations, route guidance systems and relevant devices, elements of radio navigation and their use for aircraft navigation guidance.
After completing the course, the student will understand air navigation. |
| Prerequisites |
|
Basic knowledge of aviation issues and the study material of the TPIL subject is assumed.
|
| Assessment methods and criteria |
|
Oral examination, Written examination
The condition for participation in the exam is for full-time students to obtain a credit. The credit confirms that the student has participated in the classes to the required extent and that he has met the requirements for the awarding of the credit. The conditions for granting credit are determined by the teacher in the first week of the semester's lecture period. The subject exam for the full-time form of study is determined in accordance with the Study and Examination Regulations of the UPa. |
