Determination and evaluation of airplane performance from safety point of view, defined by regulations of commercial air transport, mainly EU-OPS1 and understanding of effective airplane usage with respect of its performance.

Basics of mathematics – differential and integral calculus, common differential equations. Basics of common mechanics – force effect on a body, kinematics, dynamics.

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.

Conditions to obtain the course-unit credit: attendance at exercises (80% at the minimum), presentation of calculation tasks records. The exam comprises written (the essential one) and oral parts. Evaluation fulfils FME BUT rules.

The subject is focused on enlarging of Flight mechanics knowledge and explanation of its confluence with requirements of flight rules, mainly EU-OPS1. Students will learn to determine of airplane limitaitons during all flight phases. They get knowledge important for effective and safe aircraft usage in comercial air transport.

Lectures and seminars are compulsory, and the attendance (80% at the minimum) is checked and recorded. The absence (in justifiable cases) can be compensated by personal consultation with the lecturer and elaboration of individually assigned topics and exercises. Individual tasks must be finished and handed in the week credits are awarded at the latest.
