Abstract
With an increased usage of GNSS navigation devices as one of the primary navigation means during VFR flights, it was necessary to address the issue of proper usage of such devices and to educate pilots about this new trend. Until a recent period, there was no existent comprehensive material that would enable pilots in training to get access to new evolution in navigation. Therefore, a project named CaBilAvi (Capacity Building for Aviation Stakeholders) was launched under the HORIZON 2020 framework. In this article, the author addresses the changes that were derived in VFR pilot training syllabus and pilot education materials. Furthermore, the author mentions specific activities introduced during the project, that were necessary to support the dissemination of new knowledge to the proper audience interested in general aviation.
Highlights
The use of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) (Global Satellite Navigation System) applications has in the past decade become widely popular as a primary source of navigation within VFR (Visual Flight Rules) and IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) pilots
Further the article focuses on the SO3 and SO4 forming the high level project objectives (HLO) 2, which are relevant to the topic of this article and were fulfilled by project partners comprising Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU), Transport Research Institute Slovakia (VUD), University of Zilina (UNIZA), GNSS Centre of Excellence (GCE) and DSA
Conclusion translated into English and used as a learning material at the This article shows a significant part of activities introduced
Summary
The use of GNSS (Global Satellite Navigation System) applications has in the past decade become widely popular as a primary source of navigation within VFR (Visual Flight Rules) and IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) pilots. As a support to the growing use of GNSS, a coordination and support type project CaBilAvi (Capacity Building for Aviation stakeholders) targeting the spreading of awareness and knowledge about European navigation satellite systems Galileo and EGNOS has been launched under the HORIZON2020 framework with a direct support of the GSA (European Global Navigation Satellite System Agency). The following text is an overview of an approach to the project, work done and the outcomes, the project has brought This text continues with information regarding the integration of new knowledge about GNSS into pilot training courses (applicable for VFR), with description of activities introduced, secondly the text focuses on information regarding dissemination of information about GNSS within amateur and professional aviation community
