Full textAbstract:
Esta tese propõe um modelo computacional para análise de conformidade de áreas e superfícies de proteção de aeródromos aos critérios de projeto geométrico previstos no Anexo 14 da ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization). Não foram encontrados na literatura softwares open source com esta finalidade. Os critérios da ICAO impõem áreas e superfícies imaginárias de proteção que se originam na vizinhança de cada uma das pistas de pouso e/ou de decolagem. Dessas exigências normativas decorre um complexo conjunto de áreas em solo e superfícies no espaço aéreo, as quais ordenam a presença de objetos fixos e móveis dentro e fora dos limites do sítio aeroportuário. Os dados de entrada do modelo proposto compreendem: informações sobre a topografia e sobre os limites internos e externos do sítio; a posição de objetos fixos e móveis; a categoria da aeronave; o procedimento de aproximação empregado; e informações sobre a configuração do sistema de pistas. O modelo computacional proposto integra conceitos de CAD (Computer Aided Design) e de GIS (Geographic Information System) para a geração automática de geometrias georreferenciadas, de acordo com um MDE (Modelo Digital de Elevação), internamente representado por uma malha TIN (Triangulated Irregular Network). Além da geração virtual das geometrias, o modelo permite a detecção automática de eventuais interferências nas áreas e superfícies de proteção pelos objetos fixos e móveis. O modelo apresenta os resultados das análises por meio de janelas gráficas e permite a exportação dos arquivos KML para um globo virtual, como o Google Earth. Os arquivos KML representam as áreas e superfícies de proteção e os objetos fixos e móveis, destacando os obstáculos detectados. A modelagem proposta foi implementada em linguagem Python, testada e validada para instâncias fictícias e para um caso real, relacionado ao Aeroporto de Viracopos em Campinas, no Brasil (SBKP). Buscas sistemáticas na literatura científica nacional e internacional indicam que a modelagem aqui proposta é inédita, contribuindo para preencher a lacuna identificada na revisão bibliográfica realizada.<br>This thesis proposes a computational model for analysis of conformity of aerodrome protection areas and surfaces according to ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) Annex 14 geometric design criteria. No open source software with this purpose could be found in the literature. ICAO criteria impose imaginary protection areas and surfaces that start at the vicinity of each runway, leading to a complex set of geometries on the ground and in the airspace. Fixed and movable objects, both inside and outside the aerodrome property limits, are controlled by means of this set of imaginary surfaces. Input data for the herein proposed model comprises: aerodrome site topography and internal and external boundaries; fixed and movable objects position; aircraft category; approach procedures; and runway system configuration data. The model integrates CAD (Computer Aided Design) and GIS (Geographic Information System) technologies in order to automatically generate georeferenced geometries, that take into account a DEM (Digital Elevation Model), internally represented by a TIN (Triangulated Irregular Network) approach. In addition to geometry generation, the proposed model also performs obstacle assessment regarding the suppositional geometric interferences between protection areas and surfaces and the fixed and movable objects. The model results are outputted by means of screen plots, execution console (detected geometric interferences) and KML (Keyhole Markup Language) files, to be exported to virtual globes, like Google Earth. The KML files represent the geometries of protection areas and surfaces as well as fixed and movable objects, highlighting detected obstacles. The model was implemented in Python language and tested for validation, employing both fictitious and a real instance, related to the Viracopos International Airport (SBKP), in Campinas, Brazil. The undergone bibliographic search, considering national and international literature, indicates that this research introduces an unprecedented model, filling in a gap in the literature.

Find full textAbstract:
In my previous bachelor's thesis I studied an algorithm for the improvement of runway efficiency in normal condition: minimizing the occupation of the runway means serving the greatest number of aircraft with the least possible delay. But other important limitations of airports are the ones in force during low visibility when the number of movements allowed undergoes a relevant reduction. A solution could be the use of technology to support air traffic controllers and pilots to re-establish a good level of situational awareness in order to reduce the limitations in force. In Europe, the technological pillar of the ambitious Single European Sky initiative is the Single European Sky ATM Research project (SESAR). Inside the SESAR project, the RETINA concept is regarding the introduction of augmented reality in aerodrome control tower for the improvement of efficiency and capacity of airports. Within the RETINA concept this thesis aims to study the implementation of new safety nets for aerodrome control tower with the support of augmented reality. This study starts from introduction to air traffic services in order to focus on SESAR project and RETINA concept. Then, concept and graphical solution for Conflicting ATC Clearances Safety Net (CATC) are proposed. Due to Covid-19 pandemic in progress during the thesis work, the implementation and validation activities could not be carried out in RETINA simulator of the University of Bologna labs, so different stand-alone implementation in Unity and validation by questionnaire administered to air traffic controllers are used. This thesis work can be considered as the first iteration in the User-Centered Design process for CATC. After the analysis of the feedback, new iteration in which the design is driven and refined by user-centered evaluation could be setup.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis addresses the problem of ground collisions between an aircraft and obstacles (including other aircraft) on the ramp and taxiway regions of an aireld. A safety study is conducted by looking at current operating procedures and analysing accident statistics and reports. An onboard non-collaborative system for large transport aircraft is proposed and its main requirements and performance characteristics are discussed. The main requirement is to detect and track generic obstacles around an aircraft during taxi manoeuvres.
The suitability of computer vision to the application of interest of this work is investigated through comparison with other candidate sensor technologies and computer vision, using visible cameras, is selected as the preferred technology. A study of dierent optical solutions is carried out and stereo vision is considered to be the most suitable choice. Two locations on the aircraft are considered for camera installation and the installation of a stereo vision system on each wingtip is chosen.
Algorithms are implemented for the dierent processing blocks of the stereo vision system. These comprise calibration, rectication, correspondence, reconstruction, detection, clustering, and tracking algorithms. For each process, existing methods and techniques are reviewed and the most appropriate ones are selected, modied and improved in order to meet the specic requirements of this application. The values of several parameters of each algorithm are found experimentally using synthetic data and each algorithm is tested individually before being integrated with the rest of the system.
Overall system performance is evaluated by testing for positional accuracy, generic obstacle detection and tracking capabilities, and sensitivity to calibration errors. Testing is conducted for a range of realistic conict scenarios, under dierent illumination, visibility, and image noise conditions. Both synthetic images and real images are used. The results of both sets of images are compared and these suggest that the stereo vision system developed in this research has the potential to reduce wingtip collisions and can therefore improve safety and situational awareness in aerodrome areas.

Full textAbstract:
Kauno S. Dariaus ir S. Girėno aerodromas buvo pirmasis Lietuvos aviacijos židinys bei vienas seniausių aerodromų Europoje. Nuo Kauno aerodromo įkūrimo pradžios (1915 m.) prasidėjo Lietuvos aviacijos vystymasis. Pirmosios Lietuvos Respublikos metais Kauno S. Dariaus ir S. Girėno aerodromas suklestėjo. Aerodromas pradėjo plėstis, jame atsirado naujų pastatų, aviacijos įrenginių, įsikūrė karo aviacijos mokykla, karo aviacijos dirbtuvės. Be to, tuo metu Kauno aerodrome taip pat atsirado ir civilinės aviacijos užuomazgos, kurios paskatino Lietuvos aeroklubo (LAK) įkūrimą. LAK savo organizuojamomis šventėmis aviaciją padarė visuomenės traukos centru.
Iki LAK atsiradimo Lietuvos visuomenė mažai domėjosi aviacija ir, apskritai, neturėjo galimybės su ja susipažinti. Įsikūręs 1927 metais, Lietuvos aeroklubas ėmėsi propaguoti civilinę bei sportinę aviaciją Lietuvos visuomenėje. Jis įvairiuose Lietuvos miestuose organizavo aviacijos šventes, propagavo aviaciją spaudoje, skatino žmones dalyvauti LAK rengiamose loterijose, tapti šio klubo nariais. LAK savo veiklą vykdė ne tik Lietuvoje, bet ir už jos ribų.
Lietuvos visuomenei vis labiau įsitraukiant į aviaciją, Lietuvos aeroklubo rengiamos aviacijos šventės tapo Lietuvos visuomenės dėmesio, diskusijų ir kalbų objektu. Spaudoje nuolatos pasirodydavo straipsnių, kuriuose pagrindinis akcentas ir dėmesys buvo skiriamas aviacijos šventėms, švenčių dalyviams, lakūnams, akrobatiniams lėktuvų viražams. Labiausiai sportinės aviacijos mėgėjų dėmesį... [toliau žr. visą tekstą]<br>Kaunas S. Darius and S. Girėnas airfield was the first Lithuanian aviation place and one of the oldest airfields in Europe. Lithuanian aviation development started in 1915 when Kaunas airfield was established. Kaunas S. Darius and S. Girėnas airfield flourished during the period of First Republic of Lithuania. The airfield began to expand: new buildings, aviation facilities appeared. Military aviation school and military aviation workshop were also established. In addition, at the same time the rudiments of civil aviation appeared in Kaunas airfield. They led to the establishment of the Lithuanian Aero Club (LAC). LAC organized plenty of festivals which brought aviation to public’s attention.
Until the establishment of LAC, Lithuanian society has had a little interest in aviation and had no access to it. Lithuanian Aero Club (founded in 1927) took the action in Lithuanian society; it promoted civil and sport aviation. LAC organized aviation festivals in various Lithuanian cities and towns, promoted aviation in press, encouraged people to participate in a lottery (organized by LAC) and become members of the club. LAC activities were carried out not only in Lithuania but also abroad.
Aviation festivals organized by Lithuanian Aero Club became an object of Lithuanian public attention and discussion. In the press constantly appeared articles where the main attention was given to: aviation celebrations, participants of the festivals, pilots, fluttering of acrobatic planes... [to full text]

Esta dissertação tem por objetivo testar procedimentos para analise da geometria dos aeródromos do estudo através de levantamento topográfico com o uso do nível e GPS (Global Positioning System). Os testes foram conduzidos em quatro aeródromos do Estado de São Paulo, administrados pelo DAESP (Departamento Aeroviário do Estado de São Paulo), a saber: Araraquara, Bauru, Marília e São José do Rio Preto. Foram analisados as declividades longitudinais, transversais, comprimento e largura da pista e a altitude do ponto de referência. O documento normativo usado como referência foi o \"Anexo XIV\" (Aerodromes) da ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization). Foram feitos levantamentos cadastrais dos projetos originais dos aeródromos e levantamentos de campo. Em cada aeródromo o receptor GPS foi instalado em ponto de coordenadas e altitude conhecidas. Na etapa final foram comparados os dados de projeto com os valores encontrados no campo. Os valores encontrados mostraram algumas variações com os de projeto, principalmente quanto à declividade transversal onde a norma recomenda que seja de 1,5%. Foram encontrados valores com declividades menores que esse e até valores negativos. O sistema GPS mostrou-se, eficiente e preciso para esse tipo de levantamento.<br>The objective of this work is to test procedures for analysis of the geometry of aerodromes, through topographical survey with level and GPS (Global Positioning System) instrument. The tests were led in four aerodromes of the São Paulo State, administered by DAESP (Departamento Aeroviário do Estado de São Paulo), namely: Araraquara, Bauru, Marília and São José do Rio Preto. The longitudinal slopes, transverse slopes, length of runway, width of runway, the elevation of reference point were analyzed. The normative document used as reference was the Annex XIV (Aerodromes) of ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization). For each aerodrome it was made a cadastral research of the original project and field survey. For each aerodrome the GPS receiver was located in a point of known coordinates and altitude. In the final stage the original project data were compared with the ones found in the field survey. The values from field have some variations in relation to those found in the project mainly with in the case of transverse slope where the norm recommends that it must be 1,5%. The survey had shown values less than 1,5% and also negative slopes. The GPS system has shown to be efficient and enough accurate for this kind of survey.

Esta pesquisa de mestrado aborda o projeto geométrico de aeródromos a partir dos padrões e recomendações da ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) e da FAA (Federal Aviation Administration). Os padrões e recomendações da ICAO foram extraídos do documento Annex 14 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation e de documentos por ele referenciados. Para o caso da FAA, serviu de base o documento Airport Design: Advisory Circular 150/5300-13, incluindo-se aqueles nele referenciados e considerados pertinentes ao escopo do estudo. Seguindo-se uma estrutura de critérios de projeto proposta, os padrões e recomendações da ICAO e da FAA são comparados entre si, explicitando-se as diferenças nas especificações em si e também na forma como estas especificações são feitas por cada norma. Para o caso em que comparações diretas não são possíveis, as comparações são feitas a partir de um conjunto de aeronaves com características conhecidas. No caso dos critérios cuja avaliação é mais complexa, equacionamentos matemáticos são propostos. Apresenta-se também uma série de flexibilizações dos padrões, as quais são voltadas à acomodação das aeronaves A380-800 e B747-8 em aeroportos existentes. Estas flexibilizações provêm das conclusões do A380 Airport Compatibility Group (AACG) e do Boeing 747-8 Airport Compatibility Group (BACG), no caso dos padrões da ICAO. Para a as flexibilizações dos padrões da FAA, servem de base os Engineering Briefs (EBs) por ela emitidos. Finalmente, com base nos critérios de projeto considerados, é feita uma análise do Aeroporto Internacional de São Paulo/Guarulhos quanto à operação das aeronaves A380-800 e B747-8.<br>This Master Thesis tackles aerodrome geometric design according to the standards and recommended practices from the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) and the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration). ICAO standards and recommended practices are from the document Annex 14 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation and from the referred documents. In turn, FAA documents herein addressed are the Airport Design: Advisory Circular 150/5300-13 and others referred in this one. By following a proposed design criteria framework, ICAO and FAA standards and recommended practices are compared. From such comparison, it is shown the differences in specifications itself and also in the way by which ICAO and FAA specify their standards. For the cases where direct comparisons are not possible, it is used a set of aircrafts of known characteristics. For the most complex design criteria, mathematical equations are also proposed. Another addressed issue is the flexibilization of design standards, which aims the accommodation of A380-800 and B747-8 aircrafts at existing airports. The ICAO flexibilizations are made from conclusions of the A380 Airport Compatibility Group (AACG) and the Boeing 747-8 Airport Compatibility Group (BACG). FAA flexibilizations are from this same agency, namely through EBs (Engineering Briefs). Lastly, the addressed design criteria are applied to analyse the operation of A380-800 and B747-8 aircrafts at São Paulo/Guarulhos International Airport.

Kirkland, Ian D. "The risk assessment of aircraft runway overrun accidents and incidents." Thesis, Loughborough University, 2001. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/13270.
Full textAbstract:
The UK Civil Aviation Authority has recognised the need for protection against the runway overrun over and above the standard protection recommended by ICAO. Normal protection for the aircraft is provided in ICAO's Annex 14 by the strip at the end of a runway, and a recommendation for the installation of a Runway End Safety Area (RESA). In the UK, the CAA has stated that as part of their safety management system the aerodrome licensee should review the RESA distance requirement for their individual circumstances on an annual basis through a risk assessment. However, current industry knowledge of circumstantial factors in runway overruns is limited. Also, current models that are used to determine likely overrun wreckage locations and RESA dimensions take no account of the operational conditions surrounding the overruns or the aerodrome being assessed. This study has attempted to address these needs by highlighting common factors present in overrun occurrences through the compilation and analysis of a database of runway overruns, and through the construction of a model of wreckage location that takes account of the conditions at an individual aerodrome. A model of overrun probability has been constructed and the consequences of an overrun have been examined. One outcome of the study is an awareness that the industry is in an extremely poor state of knowledge of operational characteristics of non-accident flights, which if not addressed will be a major barrier to future advancement of aviation safety improvement and research.

Eaton, William H. "Automated taxiing for unmanned aircraft systems." Thesis, Loughborough University, 2017. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/33502.
Full textAbstract:
Over the last few years, the concept of civil Unmanned Aircraft System(s) (UAS) has been realised, with small UASs commonly used in industries such as law enforcement, agriculture and mapping. With increased development in other areas, such as logistics and advertisement, the size and range of civil UAS is likely to grow. Taken to the logical conclusion, it is likely that large scale UAS will be operating in civil airspace within the next decade. Although the airborne operations of civil UAS have already gathered much research attention, work is also required to determine how UAS will function when on the ground. Motivated by the assumption that large UAS will share ground facilities with manned aircraft, this thesis describes the preliminary development of an Automated Taxiing System(ATS) for UAS operating at civil aerodromes. To allow the ATS to function on the majority of UAS without the need for additional hardware, a visual sensing approach has been chosen, with the majority of work focusing on monocular image processing techniques. The purpose of the computer vision system is to provide direct sensor data which can be used to validate the vehicle s position, in addition to detecting potential collision risks. As aerospace regulations require the most robust and reliable algorithms for control, any methods which are not fully definable or explainable will not be suitable for real-world use. Therefore, non-deterministic methods and algorithms with hidden components (such as Artificial Neural Network (ANN)) have not been used. Instead, the visual sensing is achieved through a semantic segmentation, with separate segmentation and classification stages. Segmentation is performed using superpixels and reachability clustering to divide the image into single content clusters. Each cluster is then classified using multiple types of image data, probabilistically fused within a Bayesian network. The data set for testing has been provided by BAE Systems, allowing the system to be trained and tested on real-world aerodrome data. The system has demonstrated good performance on this limited dataset, accurately detecting both collision risks and terrain features for use in navigation.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis makes significant contributions to improving the use of Airport Safety Areas (ASAs) as aviation accident risk mitigation measures by developing improved accident frequency models and risk assessment methodologies. In recent years, the adequacy of ASAs such as the Runway End Safety Area and Runway Safety Area has come under increasing scrutiny. The current research found flaws in the existing ASA regulations and airport risk assessment techniques that lead to the provision of inconsistent safety margins at airports and runways. The research was based on a comprehensive database of ASA-related accidents, which was matched by a representative sample of normal operations data, such that the exposure to a range of operational and meteorological risk factors between accident and normal flights could be compared. On this basis, the criticality of individual risk factors was quantified and accident frequency models were developed using logistic regression. These models have considerably better predictive power compared to models used by previous airport risk assessments. An improved risk assessment technique was developed coupling the accident frequency models with accident location data, yielding distributions that describe the frequency of accidents that reach specific distances beyond the runway end or centreline given the risk exposure profile of the particular runway. The application of the proposed methodology was demonstrated in two case studies. Specific recommendations on ASA dimensions were made for achieving consistent levels of safety on each side of the runway. Advances made in this study have implications on the overall assessment and management of risks at airports.

Full textAbstract:
Today, many small aerodromes have a hard time surviving economically, and amongst the largest cost is air traffic control. Airlines are cutting costs where they can, and many times this affects the aerodromes as well, e.g. when airlines decide to park remotely instead of at the gate. The project called Remotely Operated Towers, initiated by SESAR and run by Saab and LFV, is aiming to address this problem. The project revolves around remotely providing ATS to aerodromes where it is deemed suitable. A big challenge in this project is how to assign aerodromes to remote tower modules in the remote control centre. There are many ways to do this, but there is only a few ways to do it to achieve the least amount of modules. This thesis aims to find an optimal solution to the challenge mentioned above. The thesis resulted in a model where the user can provide the input of choice, i.e. aerodromes with associated ATS operating hours and movements, for a specific period – and receive the assignment schedule for the modules, saying exactly which aerodrome are to be controlled by which module at what time.

Previous issue date: 2017-08-31<br>Perigo da fauna em aeródromos é o risco potencial de colisão de uma aeronave com espécies da fauna. Em todo o mundo, o índice de colisões desta natureza está aumentando. Assim, a presença incontrolada de animais nas imediações das pistas de pousos e decolagens é um dos riscos que as aeronaves enfrentam durante suas operações, principalmente durante a decolagem e aterrissagem, quando há maior possibilidade de colisões. Por este motivo, faz-se necessário implementar ações de controle e manejo da fauna que devem efetivar a redução ou, até mesmo, a interrupção de colisões em aeródromos. Para tanto, deve ser realizada uma avaliação do risco da fauna associada ao aeródromo, de forma a identificar espécies-problema e direcionar a aplicação de recursos para controle das espécies que representam maior risco para as operações do aeroporto. Considerando o maior risco de colisão de aeronaves com aves, o presente trabalho buscou avaliar o risco da avifauna para o Aeroporto Presidente Itamar Franco, um aeroporto estrategicamente localizado na Zona da Mata de Minas Gerais e que atende à região com voos regulares para passageiros e com infraestrutura para logística de carga aérea. Para identificação da avifauna associada a este aeroporto, foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico que resultou em 185 espécies registradas no ano de 2001, antes da construção do aeroporto, e um levantamento de campo com duração de doze meses, de 2015 a 2016, que teve como resultado o registro de 130 espécies. No mesmo período de 2015 a 2016 também foram identificados os potenciais focos de atração da avifauna tanto no aeroporto como na ASA, que são representados, principalmente, por fontes de alimento às aves. Além disso, através do sensoriamento remoto e da aplicação do índice de vegetação NDVI, foi avaliada a evolução temporal da fragmentação vegetal na ASA do Aeroporto Presidente Itamar Franco, que pode influenciar fortemente a diversidade e o comportamento das espécies de aves na região. Por último, com a aplicação de metodologias propostas na legislação brasileira, foram identificadas as espécies-problema, oito ao total, e, a partir destas informações, foram propostas ações que contribuirão para controle destas espécies.<br>Wildlife hazard at aerodromes is the potential risk of an aircraft colliding with species, soil or airspace. Across the world, the rate of collisions of this nature is increasing. Thus, the uncontrolled presence of animals in the vicinity of runways is one of the risks that aircraft face during their operations, especially during landing and take-off, when there is a greater possibility of collisions. Because of this, it is necessary to implement actions of wildlife control and management that should effect the reduction or even the interruption of collisions in aerodromes. In order to do so, a risk assessment of the fauna associated with the aerodrome must be carried out in order to identify problem species and to direct the application of resources to control the species that represent greater risk for the airport operations. Considering the greater risk of collision of aircraft with birds, the present work sought to evaluate the risk of avifauna to Presidente Itamar Franco Airport, a strategically located airportin the Zona da Mata of Minas Gerais and that serves the region with scheduled flights for passengers and with infrastructure for air cargo logistics. In order to identify the avifauna associated with this airport, a bibliographic survey was carried out, which resulted in 185 species registered in the year 2001, before the construction of the airport, and work sessions on field lasting twelve months, from 2015 to 2016, which resulted in the registration of 130 species. In the same period from 2015 to 2016, potential sources of avifauna attraction were identified at both the airport and the ASA, which are mainly represented by food sources to birds. In addition, through remote sensing and the application of the NDVI vegetation index, the temporal evolution of plant fragmentation in the ASA of the Presidente Itamar Franco Airport was evaluated, which can strongly influence the diversity and behavior of the bird species in the region. Finally, with the application of methodologies proposed in the Brazilian legislation, the problem species were identified, a total of eight, and, from this information, actions were proposed that will contribute to the control of these species.

The plan to train Commonwealth pilots and aircrew on Canadian soil from 1939-1945 was a critical component to the Allied victory in the Second World War. As part of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP), Canada graduated 131,553 men from training stations across the country. This thesis examines the experience of two British Columbia communities, Delta and Abbotsford, as hosts to BCATP stations. It concludes that both sites experienced a profound social and economic impact as a result of their role in training pilots and aircrew. Hosting a training station meant an immediate influx of jobs, infrastructure, money and excitement. In addition, the airfields left behind after the war ended still exist today as viable economic entities in their communities and as valuable hubs in Canada’s aviation network.<br>Graduate

This research studies the standards and recommended practices regarding the navigation visual aids by ICAO, and compares with the related regulations in Taiwan. This research takes the CKS Airport, the Tainan Airport and the Hengchun Airport as case studies. The layouts of Approach Lighting Systems, Runway Lighting Systems, Taxiway Lighting Systems and Apron floodlighting Systems are examined to find the discrepancies with ICAO SARPs. The results show that the airport layouts of Aeronautical Ground Lightings in Taiwan are not completely satisfied with ICAO SARPs. Taiwan used to follow the system of FAR. Some differences existing between ICAO SARPs and FAR. The major discrepancy for the Aeronautical Ground Lighting is about the Approach Lighting Systems. To solve this problem, it needs to acquire more land. For most airports in Taiwan, this would be quite a issue. In addition, some military facilities are classified as civil aviation obstacles on runway strips at joint used aerodromes in Taiwan.

By collecting literature reference, we found the contribution factors to the stress of Flight Crew as follows: information related to flight operations, complexity of flight path, internal/external environment factors, and performance of Air Traffic Controllers and so on. To specify what may cause the threat in the external environment, we classify Aerodrome Facility and Air Traffic procedure. To minimize the particular issues what the Flight Crews are concerned, this study concludes the Runway facility, Taxiway facility and other related issued for Aerodrome Facility; taxi before take-off, initial climb, cursing, descending and taxi after landing for Air Traffic Control procedure.
From this study we may get some useful information, which are: unsatisfied with facility and procedure such as:
Airport facilities can be seen on the part of flight operations directly affect the runway, taxiways satisfaction are poor, at the airport and Makung airport taxiway blazing dissatisfied with the quality of the most obvious. Most of the reasons for their dissatisfaction is the runway, taxiways not straight, uneven pavement, and frequent flight or maintenance of the quality.
Flight stage part of a phenomenon can be found, regardless of where an airport, as long as the flight controllers and more contact with the stage of a more dissatisfied with the project that is taking off and climbing up and drop-stage approach Air controllers have frequent contact with the more dissatisfied with the project, level flight stage, a mediocre response.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立成功大學<br>經營管理碩士學位學程(AMBA)<br>105<br>Fatigue is one of the important issues since it is considered to be a potential risk factor for human error. Despite this, fatigue is often ignored because it is defined as a mental or physical state that is difficult to measure. The ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) announced the concept of FRMS (Fatigue Risk Management System) in Annex 6 in 2011, which provided suggestions to reduce aircrew fatigue. In 2016, CANSO (Civil Air Navigation Services Organization), ICAO, and IFATCA (International Federation of Air Traffic Controllers’ Associations) published the Fatigue Management Guide for Air Traffic Service Providers, and for the first time proposed recommendations for air traffic controllers to address this issue. Based on the above management guide, this research used the Samn-Perelli fatigue scale to measure air traffic controllers’ fatigue levels in an international aerodrome control tower. The results indicated that there are significant differences between day and night shifts, time periods and various work shifts. It should be noted that the possible impacts of successive work days and aircraft movements on fatigue were also examined in this research, but they had no significant effect to ATC’s fatigue. This research wishes to shed some new light on aviation safety by investigating air traffic controllers’ fatigue levels with current scheduling models, thus helping governmental departments concerning this subject improve and adjust the current scheduling models to further reduce the risks relating to fatigue.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立金門大學<br>管理學院事業經營碩士在職專班企業管理組<br>103<br>Kinmen Airport (RCBS Aerodrome) is located in a special island and facing the sea with the hills for a background geographical position. In annual Fog season (February to May), heavy fog always impacts aircraft taking-off & landing operation, also interrupts frequently the only air transport to Taiwan. It seriously affected passengers traveling schedule, such as Kinmen resident, Taiwan businessman, Mainland Chinese resident and foreign tourist etc., so they disappointed to Kinmen infrastructure. Although relative department tries their best to reduce the visibility from 1200 meters to 900 meters in 2011 year, but the heavy fog still influences the visibility lower than the taking-off & landing criteria and causes closing the airport frequently, such situation has been seriously impacting Kinmen's sightseeing industry, tourist trips and economic development.
This study begins with the assumption that the Kinmen Airport upgraded first-class airport for the development goals, analyzes compared to the difference of navigation facility with other First-class airports, and to understand the newest PANS-OPSz (Procedures for Air Navigation Services -Operations) theory, examine 06/24 runway of Precision and Non precision approach procedure, the status of natural terrain and artificial obstacles. The observed current navigation facility in Kinmen Airport has achieved the bottleneck, unless village relocation, removal of the terrain and artificial obstacle or relocation of the airport to further improve the taking off and landing in low visibility.
The research found that current 06 runway using ILS precision approach landing procedures, aircraft descending according the signal, the pilots must runway in sight on RVR (Runway Visual Range) at least 900 meters or see runway guiding lamp over the OCA (Obstacle Clearance Altitude), due to under OCA, Aircraft Pilot will relieves the autopilot and depends on visual approach until landed safely. If there is heavy fog, the pilot cannot see the runway and have to execute Missed Approach / Go-Around Procedures. If flew repeatedly again still could not see runway, then must return to base. Therefore suggested that revises the law to recommend the newest technical and negotiate Airline Company to installs the HUD + EFVS equipment in the aircraft, it will help the pilot to see the runway and Approach Lighting System both clearly in the heavy fog and matches to navigation facility smoothly till safe taking-off/landing, those are the research conclusion.
