Abstract

The thesis is focused to familiarize the reader with air mass behaviour, legislative requirements and methods of altitude corrections. The goal of the thesis is evaluation of the presently used operational procedures applied to the altitude corrections according to the change of air parameters. The final part of the thesis determines altitudes necessary for corrections and represents the proposal of optimized altitude correction method.

Highlights

  • The application of altitude corrections has not been applied through the whole aviation world for years

  • The example of the new trend is improvement of awareness connected with discussed topic as well as the introduction of materials to different groups participating on the air transport

  • The main goal is the proposal of optimized altitude correction method as well as the definition of altitudes where the corrections are necessary for the safety of the flight

Summary

Introduction

The application of altitude corrections has not been applied through the whole aviation world for years. It has been an exception of several air carriers. The thesis is focused to description of altitudes requiring corrections and gives the explanation of the practical importance of these altitudes in operations. Another section compares different methods of corrections dependent on the temperature changes according to the legislation. Partial goal of the thesis is evaluation of currently used altitude correction methods of selected air carriers. The main goal is the proposal of optimized altitude correction method as well as the definition of altitudes where the corrections are necessary for the safety of the flight
