The subject of the thesis is the aviation industry, more specifically small motor aircrafts and their corresponding electronic equipment. The purpose of the thesis is to present the transition from analog to digital technology in the field of small aviation, which in today's scope of air traffic is technologically obsolete, especially from the safety point of view.
In the first part of the thesis, the key problems and challenges faced by pilots of smaller aircraft due to insufficient equipment are presented. Later, all the systems and technologies that are included in the practical part of the thesis and are the basis for understanding the operation are presented from the theoretical perspective.
Lastly, the procedures and course of action of the practical part of the thesis are described. The latter were conducted in cooperation with the company Aeroservice d.o.o., and performed during the practical training in the course of studies. An example of the digitization of aviation equipment on a Cessna 172 aircraft is shown, which was upgraded from its all-analog interface to a more modern and digital interface.
