2. Augmentation Methods for Global Navigation Satellite System Performance

   Primary means of the global air navigation infrastructure for the safety of live applications shall be strategically supported by Global Navigation Satellite System, GNSS. Continuing development of the techniques to attain the required navigation performance determines the ability of its utilization to support the new navigation applications. Resulting navigation performance, together with other on-board segment provided navigation and guidance abilities, thus affects the final capability of aircraft to effectively use airspace. The objective of dissertation is to extend presently used methods for GNSS augmentation in aviation and explore existing to enhance the GNSS performance according to the requirements of corresponding navigation applications which are to be supported by.

3. Ecological aspects of civil air transport on airports

   At the present time the ecology of operation of civil airplanes takes on importance. Effort to suppress impacts of airplane operation on both human health and environment due to a great increase of air traffic remarkably strenghtened. This is important especially on airports and in their vicinity, where disproportion between the need of operation growth in the contrary of the decrease of its impact on environment and of land-use planning is substantial. Main objectives of this thesis are based on analysis of all possible aspects of airplane influence upon environment. Also demanded are proposals of a methodology how to reduce the negative impact of airplanes on aerodrome environment while maintaining (or increasing) the operational safety. Emphasis should be put on the noise, which is perceived as the most problematic disturbance in vicinity of an airport.

5. System design for setting up procedures and expert technical analysis at the Air Accidents Investigation

   The main aim of doctoral studies is to find the optimal way for the establishment of procedures, evaluation and analysis of aircraft structure, components and systems for investigating air accidents in the Czech Republic. The solution is necessary to assess the current situation, assess the possible variants of solving the problem and set out to design an optimal method applicable in determining the causes of aviation accidents. The result should be treated methodology, providing uniform procedures applicable in gathering and objective evaluation of the analyzed factors that led to the emergence of an accident.
