There were many attacks on civil aviation facilities which occurred since the 1930s but the first recorded attaca against the airport security occurred in 1970. Due to the extensive infrastructure,airports are susceptible to the occurrence of hazards especially acts of unlawful interference. Therefore, there is adopted following purpose of this article: characteristics of airports in terms of possible threats. To accomplish this, there are characterized most important elements of airport infrastructure in the first part and then author presented selected acts of unlawful interference committed at airports in the second part. In addition, the last section of the article contains most important results of the researchconnected to this topic which refer to safety at airports in Poland from passengers point of view.

Airports similarly to other companies are certified in compliance with the International Standardization Organization (ISO) standards of products and services (series of ISO 9000 Standards regarding quality management), to coordinate the technical side of standardizatioon and normalization at an international scale. In order for the airports to meet the norms and the certification requirements as by the ISO they are liable to undergo strict audits of quality, as a rule, conducted by an independent auditing organization. Focus of the audits is primarily on airport operation economics and security. The article is an analysis into the methodology of the airport security audit processes and activities. Within the framework of planning, the sequence of steps is described in line with the principles and procedures of the Security Management System (SMS) and starndards established by the International Standardization Organization (ISO). The methodology of conducting airport security audit is developed in compliance with the national programme and international legislation standards (Annex 17) applicable to protection of civil aviation against acts of unlawful interference.

AbstractThe main objective of the paper is to evaluate the potential of reducing the environmental impact of civil subsonic aviation by using hydrogen fuel. The paper is divided into three parts of which this is Part III. In Part I the background, prospects and challenges of introducing an alternative fuel in aviation were outlined. The aero engine design when using hydrogen was covered in Part II. In this paper, Part III, the subjects of optimum cruising altitude and airport implications of introducing liquid hydrogen-fuelled aircraft are raised.For minimum global warming, the results of a preliminary analysis associated with large uncertainties suggest that cryoplanes should cruise at an altitude of about 2-3km below where conventional aircraft cruise today. Ignoring the cost implications, from an airport infrastructure point of view, it seems feasible to change to hydrogen use. With respect to the availability of energy, it would be reasonable to change from kerosene to liquid hydrogen as fuel for all civil aviation refuelling in Sweden.

Air transport consists in moving people or goods by air. Aircrafts, known as the main means of air transport, can be divided into two categories: airplanes and helicopters. Such transport is the most modern and the most dynamically developing branch of transport. It is also considered to be the safest mode of transport, even though, for various reasons, aviation accidents still occur. Security in aviation has various connotations. According to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), it is a state in which the possibility of damage to persons or property is minimized and is maintained as part of a continuous process of hazard identification and safety risk management at an acceptable level or below this acceptable level. Aviation security includes flight safety and aviation security against acts of unlawful interference. There is a significant difference between the meaning of  "safety" and "security". The first of these concepts means preventing unintentional damage, while the second refers to the procedures undertaken in order to prevent deliberate damage resulting from an intentional act. As it appears from the abovementioned information, the immovable part of aviation safety is aircraft protection, including the protection of civilian airports. The aim of the article is to draw attention to the problems of air transport security, including the security of airports, related to the evolution of threats and the functioning of the airport security system. The problem that the authors address is expressed in a question: in what directions should the current solutions in the field of air transport security be improved in order to effectively prevent acts of unlawful interference in the future? Theoretical research methods, such as the analysis and synthesis of information contained in literature and source materials, inference, comparison, were used to develop the article.

Air transportation services, security and flight safety is the main factor. Various efforts made to continually improve the level of security and safety of the flight, the good with the upgrade facilities, repair and operational management capacity building resources, human beings. International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in Annex 17 Of the Security-Safeguarding International Civil Aviation Against Acts of Unlawful Interference requires that each number country is obliged to create a procedure and an action brought to prevent weapons or dangerous materials in civil aircraft.As explain standard of the above, then set the various systems and procedures of implementation in every airport and every company in the air transportation. The security of the flight center of gravity is related to passenger and goods that will leave / and transported aircraft.

As the terrorist threat to civil aviation evolves, future improvements in aviation security must be accomplished by adopting innovative, proactive methods of enhancing screener contributions to overall security system effectiveness. The Screener Proficiency Evaluation and Reporting System (SPEARS) is a person-centered approach to improve screener selection, training, and performance. Screener selection uses a battery of perceptual tests to identify job candidates with optimal potential to be successful screeners. Computer-based training is multimedia instruction to prepare screeners for all of their job responsibilities, with an emphasis on identifying sophisticated threats. Threat Image Projection provides the capability to insert fictional threat images into the X-ray image displays of actual passenger bags. This is done to increase screener vigilance and measure system detection performance. A 6-month test and evaluation of SPEARS is being conducted in conjunction with 9 major air carriers, involving thousands of screeners at the 19 major U.S. airports.

Bandar Udara Internasional I Gusti Ngurah Rai Bali merupakan salah satu Bandar Udara Internasional yang melayani rute domestic dan rute internasional dengan jumlah pergerakan pesawat yang semakin padat. Pemberian pelayanan pemanduan lalu lintas udara yang maksimal, selain ditentukan oleh sumber daya manusianya terkait pula factor peralatan, prosedur, serta fasilitas Bandar Udara yang mendukung.Letak Isolated Parking Area yang berada di taxiway N7P memberikan efek yang kurang efektif terhadap kelancaran pelayanan lalu lintas udara di Bandar Udara Internasional I Gusti ngurahRai Bali. Disebutkan dalam Document 8973 tentang Security Manual for Safe guarding Civil Aviation Against Acts of Unlawful Interference Volume III, bahwa jika terjadi ancaman pembajakan pesawat, maka pesawat harus diarahkan ke isolated parking area. Apabila area tersebut dilalui oleh taxiway atau runway, maka taxiway dan runway tersebut harus ditutup. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk meninjau letak isolated parking area terhadap pelayanan lalu lintas udaradi Bandar Udara Internasional I Gusti Ngurah Rai Bali

Abstract The article describes 10 known programmes of practical flight training in military aviation – specialization: Multi-Mission Tactical Jet Pilot, which is the highest level of military pilot training in all types of military and civil aviation – comparable only to the level of training and experience of the pilot-instructor of the Military Aviation School. The presented comparison was developed on the basis of literature research from the point of view of, among others, an aircraft operation engineer and a pilot-instructor.
