Safety is of paramount importance in aviation. Good and effective pilot preparation can contribute to a higher level of safety in the air. The aim of this bachelor’s thesis was to create a graphical user interface that would facilitate the work of general aviation pilots in their flight preparations.
The development process began with a thorough review of the literature on general aviation and the legislative background. Using quantitative methods, we gained insight into the use of technology in general aviation, analysed the functionalities of the most used aviation applications, and studied pilots' preferences regarding graphical user interfaces. Furthermore, we identified requirements and drafted the application and development plan. Based on this, we selected appropriate technologies for development and implemented the interface using the chosen technologies. The developed interface provides functionalities that, based on our requirements gathering process, would be most useful to users.
This contributes to faster and more efficient flight preparation, consequently increasing the level of safety in aviation. Although the interface still has potential for further improvements, this project has opened the door for continued development and enhancement of safety and efficiency in general aviation. Our goal was not only to create a functional interface but also to establish a foundation for further innovation and research in the field of technology use in aviation. This enables researchers and developers to continue working towards improving safety and efficiency in general aviation, benefiting the entire aviation community.
