In the 21st century, ecology has become one of the key elements of the concept of sustainable development of aviation. In this course, attendees will receive an overview of important ecological elements to the development of airports. The focus will be on the two most prominent environmental aspects, and those are aircraft noise and exhaust emissions, though other aspects will also be covered, including: water protection, protection of soil and ground water, managing and optimal use of energy, and the possibility of using renewable energy sources. Each of the aspects will be outlined with reference to the domestic and international regulations, such as the ICAO Annex 16, EU Regulations, EASA documents and other documents regarding these issues. For each aspect, the issues and negative impacts will be outlined, and a series of measures aimed to mitigate those negative impacts presented, with regard to the management level and the level of operative staff participating in all processes within aviation.
The course “Introduction to ICAO Annex 14 – Aerodromes” will acquaint attendees with the obligations ensuing for member states and airport operators, on the basis of experience in the application of ICAO Annex 14, and examples of the implementation of standards and recommended practices at airports. The course systematically, and using practical examples, covers the following areas:
The course “Airport Safety Management System” is based on the ICAO Addendum 19, ICAO Doc. 9859 Safety Management Manual (SMM) and other ICAO and EASA standards and guidelines pertaining to the area of safety management systems (SMS) at airports.
Particularly emphasis will be placed on the preparation and drafting of Aeronautic and Safety studies.
The course content will cover the following areas:
The course “Significance of Cargo Transport for Airport Operations” encompasses segments of the significant of Cargo transport at the global level, and also answers many questions, including:
During the course, the emphasis will be placed on practical examples.
The course “Airport Infrastructure and Capacity Planning” systematically and based on experience, covers the issues of airport infrastructure, in accordance with the valid international standards and good practice recommendations, based on the documents of the ICAO, EASA, IATA and organisations and institutions dealing with air traffic issues. The foundation for the case “Airport infrastructure and capacity planning” is ICAO Annex 14.6 (2013), which is supplemented with detailed documentation, such as the ICAO Doc. 9157 “Aerodrome Design Manual”.
This course gives a detailed overview of the infrastructure necessary for the safe and effective performance of aviation at an airport. The course will cover the following units: runway, taxiways, apron, passenger and cargo terminals, signalisation (day and night signalling) and surface maintenance. Considering that one of the most important elements in the planning and development of airports is the issue of its capacity, this will be explained on the basis of lecturer experience, with a detailed overview of the IATA ADRM Manual.
The course “Fundamentals of Aviation” gives attendees an overview of the participants and processes in aviation. Each of these, such as: airports, air carriers, air traffic control, providers of land-based services for aircraft receipt and dispatch, and many secondary accompanying services will be outlined in detail and accompanied by many practical examples. The course is primarily structured as an initial course for all those who have not had previous experience with aviation, or who have only peripherally participated in its activities. The course “Fundamentals of Aviation” is certainly recommended for new employees as an introduction to other specialised courses of this Aviation Academy, or as a refresher course for those involved in aviation.
The content of the course “Methodology of drafting Financial plans and Investment priorities” consists of the following elements:
The course “Restructuring Airport Management Systems” covers the following units:
The course “Methodologies of modelling business processes” includes the following units:
In the course “Quality Management System”, attendees will become acquainted with the following units:
