Provision of air navigation services entered a new era of performance scheme. The performance scheme provides binding targets on four key performance areas of safety, capacity, environment and cost-efficiency. It is imposed that targets are fully achieved, but it is not prescribed how, this being typical for the performance based and goal oriented regulation. Those key performance areas are interlaced by proportional and inversely proportional interdependencies. Namely, for example and simplified into one sentence; if one aims to increase sector capacity with existing human resources (constant staff costs) and not investing into the technology (constant support cost) to achieve improved cost-efficiency of service provision, the resulting overloaded system might unlock the Pandora box of latent safety issues. Since failure is not an option, we - the general, migrating and traveling public, airspace users, airport operators, air navigation services providers and the economy - will gain attaining the goals of performance scheme in the process. However, un-answered cardinal question is what is the winning strategy? This book provides do-not-forget-peculiarities insight into the elements of new business model of air navigation services provision as evolution of the latter became essential.

This book offers a timely snapshot of research and developments in the area of air traffic engineering and management. It covers mathematical, modeling, reliability and optimization methods applied for improving different stages of flight operations, including both aerodrome and terminal airspace operations. It analyses and highlights important legal and safety aspects, and discusses timely issues such as those concerned with Brexit and the use of unmanned aerial vehicles. Gathering selected papers presented at the 6th edition of the International Scientific Conference on Air Traffic Engineering, ATE 2020, held in October 2020 in Warsaw, Poland, this book offers a timely and inspiring source of information for both researchers and professionals in the field of air traffic engineering and management.

This book covers all aspects of aircraft accident investigation including inflight fires, electrical circuitry, and composite structure failure. The authors explain basic investigation techniques and procedures required by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). There are also chapters on accident analysis, investigation management, and report writing. The appendices include the Code of Ethics and Conduct of the International Society of Air Safety Investigators.
