PRECISION APPROACH FOR LANDING USING SATELLITE NAVIGATION SYSTEMS ON A SELECTED AIRPORT

Abstract

The content of this thesis is the description of satellite navigation systems and their utilisation in the final phase of flight. Basic satellite navigation systems, principles of their operation and augmentation systems are analysed in this thesis. The thesis is focused primarily on using these systems for precision approach landing and the GBAS system, which provides this feature. The principle of operation of the GBAS system at Bremen airport and a draft of implementation of the GBAS system at Prague airport are described in the thesis.
