POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS OF INSTRUMENT APPROACH PROCEDURES TO A SMALL AIRFIELD EMPLOYING SATELLITE NAVIGATION SYSTEMS

Abstract

This thesis discuss the problematics of the aplication and potential use of the procedures, which are given us by thw global navigation satellite systems and their augmentations, for small airports. In the first pharagraph characterizes and describes the sattelite navigational systems used in aviation and also discusses individual augmentations of GNSS systems used in the Europe and other parts of the world. Content of the second part assembles requirements for performing and constructing the instrument approaches. Characterizes the requirements of the international standards and assembles them to a whole. The next paragraph is aimed on the possibility of the application of the instrument GNSS approaches and their augmentations for small airports, for which theese systems are possible solution as an appropriate landing system. Thesis further describes differencies and advantages of the GNSS systems and their augmentations over the convetionald landing systems. Last paragraph of this thesis solves design of the intstrument arrival and approach for the small airport Svidník. It contains a evaluation of the operational procedures, rectrictions in vicinity of the airport and description of the designed instrument arrival and approach for the airport and includes also corresponding maps.
