Our goal is
well university level educated military or civilian aviation personnel in order
to be ready provides his/her services into specific aviation branch in
accordance with ICAO, EUROCONTROL and NATO procedures and standards.
Air Force
and Aircraft Technology Department as one of Faculty of Military Technology
Departments is oriented mainly onto the education of Czech Air Force officers
to be specialized in commanding technology-oriented units is designed with a
concept reflecting the descriptors of the appropriate level in the
‘Mechatronics’ fi eld within the ‘Mechanical Engineering and Materials’ areas
of the National Qualification Framework.
A new five-year
continuous Master’s degree study program
is intended for university degree level of theoretical background of Aviation
and Aircraft Technology and more
precisely oriented on Czech Air Force military officers to-be planned for
execution of leading positions with the responsibility for unit equipment
operation and maintenance.
The
‘Military Technology’ long-cycle Master’s degree program consists of a single
field. In our department, students have possibilities to select one of following
modules:
- MILITARY PILOT
- AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL
- AICRAFT TECHNOLOGY – FRAMES AND
ENGINES
- AIR STAFF OFFICER
- AIRPORT MAINTENANCE
MILITARY
PILOT
Inside the
Military Pilot module of the Master’s degree program, students take courses of
theoretical essentials, applied mechanical engineering essentials plus
electrical engineering essential knowledge. To graduate they should meet the
technical courses requirements for knowledge of aircraft structure and
equipment, JAR-FCL international regulations, ICAO and NATO standards and the
essential tactics of aviation type engagement. During studies, they go through
parachuting training, learn the theory which is onto the level of PPL and ATPL civilians
theoretical preparation and practice flying with Z-142 CAF aircraft.
Air Traffic Control
The field of
study theoretically prepares candidates for the Military Air Traffic Control branch
of ATC on Airbase; as the Area Controller
and to provide Air Defence Control with the respect of ICAO, EUROCONTROL and NATO standards and procedures.
Aircraft Technology
The field
of study focuses on design and operation of aircraft. It utilizes information
acquired in theoretical subjects on operation analysis, interpretation of
calculation methods and aircraft airframe structural layout, propulsion units
and explains the principles of aircraft. The main goal of the study is
preparation of military professional of technical-manager orientation which is
ready to solve expertly the tasks in the field of technical service management
of military logistics, to assess the technical conditions of military aircraft,
helicopters and rocket systems and to suggest the measures to insure their
economical and safety use. Graduates are able to manage of the operations,
preventive and corrective maintenance, storage and transport of aircraft,
helicopters.
Air Staff Officer, Airport Maintenance
The main
aim of these modules is preparation of military individuals who are ready to be
resolving variety of tasks in the Airfield or inside the Command and Control
structure of the Air Force as an Air Force Staff Service and Airport
Operational Support inside CZAF. There are clarified basic hot spots in the
base of airframes, aircraft engines and aerodynamics in particular study
subjects consequential to core engineering subjects. Student selection and
profiling to study modules (ATC, Air force Stuff Service) and Airport
Operational Support) are accomplished via different modular subjects.
