The initial motivation for studying and researching air transport socio-economic impacts is quantifying the value that air transport brings to the Czech Republic. The main challenge is to explore a methodology that would describe the macroeconomic and microeconomic relations within the Air transport industry. These relations will define the directions of the market forces flow and thus the Czech Republic’s value. The authors of the paper use an approach that follows methods and standards for collecting and processing economic and statistical data introduced by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), Eurostat, and the Czech Statistical Office (CZSO). The authors incorporate economic definitions and standards published by the United Nations under the World Trade Organization (UNWTO) and other accounting and statistical entities, which results in creating a methodical description of chosen relations. The methodical description leads to the quantification of the value. In a practical sense, it is a matter of determining the origin of the data sets according to which the selected relations will be defined. The paper focuses on the expression of Air transport’s primary and secondary effects and the description of the proposals, which will be part of the methodology.

The article's main purpose is to describe the proposed Methodology, which aims to present an approach to expressing the value of the air transport industry in the Czech Republic. This approach methodically divides the primary and secondary effects and finds metrics based on which the value of the air transport can be quantified. The proposed approach is based on equivalent methodological materials by ICAO, FAA, and other organizations describing and analyzing the value of air transports. The calculations are based on open data sources as well as data that are available by request. The methodology also proposes collecting new data to complete the picture of the value of air transport.

The Terminal Aerodrome Forecast (TAF) is one of the most prominent and widely accepted forecasting tools for flight planning. The reliability of this instrument is crucial for its practical applicability, and its quality may further affect the overall air transport safety and economic efficiency. The presented study seeks to objectify the assessment of the success rate of TAFs in the full breadth of their scope, unlike alternative approaches that typically analyze one selected element. It aspires to submit a complex survey on TAF realization in the context of ANNEX 3 (a regulation for Meteorological Service for International Air Navigation issued by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)) defined methodology and to provoke a discussion on the clarification and completion of ANNEX 3. Moreover, the adherence of TAFs to ICAO ANNEX 3 (20th Edition) is examined and presented on the example of reports issued in the Czech Republic. The study evaluates the accuracy of TAF forecast verified by Aerodrome Routine Meteorological Report (METAR) and Special Meteorological Report (SPECI), whose quality was assessed first. The required accuracy of TAFs was achieved for most evaluated stations. A discrepancy in terms of formal structure between actually issued reports and the ANNEX 3 defined form was revealed in over 90% of reports. The study identifies ambiguities and contradictions contained in ANNEX 3 that lead to loose interpretations of its stipulations and complicate the objectification of TAF evaluation.

Circumstances and conditions in establishing the Croatian Civil Aviation Agency coincide with the application beginning of the modifications of amendments (2007) and later final version of the Aviation Law of 2009, regulating its activity, business and managing bodies. Direct motive for its establishing have been negative regulatory assessments for the Croatian air transport authorities and the consequence was the impossibility to implement the already signed code share agreement between Croatia Airlines and American air carrier United Airlines. At the same time, big global economic crisis started, with its significant negative effects on air transport industry. This has left negative consequences in all the countries of the region, and especially in Croatia and its appertaining air transport market. Liberalization of the Croatian air transport market and that of the south east European region has created a highly competitive area, when the most significant European low cost and traditional air companies reached the Croatian market. Competence and scope of work of the Croatian Civil Aviation Agency, its mission, vision and strategy have been burdened with all these circumstances from the very beginning. Basic scope of this paper is to point to the reciprocal functioning of the Agency and appertaining consequences on the air transport system. Therefore, quantification of results and correlative analytical metrics of the appertaining safety – quality and regulatory effects with natural and economic results have been done, in order to find out their potential connection. The achieved results should be used as an additional stimulation to better future cooperation of regulatory bodies in the region. This process has already shown very good results.

Major issues and statistical data of the noise impact created by air transport, namely civil aviation aircraft, are analyzed. The main methods of reducing aircraft noise are considered. One of the methods of noise control and mitigation near the airports, namely ‘noise contour calculations’, is proposed for consideration. The description of the calculation method used and the calculation of the noise contours of the civil aviation airport are given. The civil aviation airport of one of the largest cities in Russia was chosen as a subject of research. As a result, maps of noise contours around the airport were obtained and information about the benefits of the data was provided.

With the rapid development of China’s air transport industry, the airport shuttle bus has become an indispensable part of the airport special vehicles. At present, disabled passengers in civil aviation airports have difficulty in getting on and off the shuttle bus, therefore, this design takes this as a starting point to design an airport ferry with special functions to assist disabled passengers boarding and disembarking functions and to improve the service level of airport barrier-free facilities while solving problems.

This paper which deals with the issue of “Protection against acts of unlawful interference in civil aviation in the conditions of the Slovak Republic and the Czech Republic” and is divided into four main parts. The first part is focused on the basic definitions and concepts of security, which is based on the aviation regulation L17 (ANNEX 17). The second part deals with the typology of threats that pose a danger to air transport together with an indication of specific events related to illegal acts and also points out the measures taken to prevent the recurrence of such acts. Subsequently, the historical development of international legislation in this area is characterized in more detail chronologically from the oldest legal norms to the latest legislation at present. A fundamental element of this paper is a comparison of legislation of the Slovak Republic and Czech Republic. The last part presents possible visions for the future, which consist of modern and intelligent technologies that could be applied in the fight against acts of unlawful interference in the coming years.

Abstract The article aims to support the Safety Management System’s implementation in the Visegrad Four (V4) countries by introducing supporting documentation at the national level or national legislation. The research subjects are the V4 countries (Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia), where 39 air carriers operate. Safety management in today’s world is already necessary, yet introducing a Safety Management System (SMS) is voluntary in many areas, including some transport modes. In air transport, it is mandatory, and the general principles and guidelines of this system are set out in the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), which has issued several regulations and recommendations. The lists of ICAO standards and essential translations can be considered a minimum, which is also approached by different authorities. The article points out the primary differences in SMS in individual V4 countries and presents which country provides the strongest support in implementing this system.

From a statistical data bank containing only anonymous records, the records sometimes may be identified and then retrieved, as personal records, by on line dialogue. The risk mainly applies to statistical data sets representing populations, or samples with a high ratio n/N. On the other hand, access controls are unsatisfactory as a general means of protection for statistical data banks, which should be open to large user communities. A threat monitoring scheme is proposed, which will largely block the techniques for retrieval of complete records. If combined with additional measures (e.g., slight modifications of output), it may be expected to render, from a cost-benefit point of view, intrusion attempts by dialogue valueless, if not absolutely impossible. The bona fide user has to pay by some loss of information, but considerable flexibility in evaluation is retained. The proposal of controlled classification included in the scheme may also be useful for off line dialogue systems.
