The presented project concept is focused on the design of a device enabling the collection and provision of data during flight, i.e. an autonomous flight recorder enabling wireless data transmission. Taking into account the current promise of the European Aviation Safety Agency to introduce competency-based training, the use of flight data and their evaluation to increase training effectiveness is expected. Currently, such data can only be obtained from the Electronic Flight Information System (EFIS). However, there are several limitations to this system, notably that not all aircraft are equipped with this system. Other limitations include insufficient sampling rate of recorded data and uncomfortable data transfer to a target device equipped with software for flight data analysis. Thus, it is evident that such device that would be available provides quality data and allows easy and preferably wireless data transfer to the terminal device is absent on the market. For these reasons, the effort will be to create a device that will meet these requirements. Data will probably be collected from multiple sources. The accelerometer and gyroscope will be used as key-stones in the device. Another option that will be subject to evaluation is to retrieve data from an aircraft transponder. Acquired data will be processed in real time and further provided by wireless technology for further use - mainly for applications in mobile phones or tablets. The data obtained from the designed device will be further compared with data from EFIS (currently Garmin G1000 version).

The use of augmented reality in aviation is a result of a constant effort of increasing aviation safety. The idea of augmented reality is commonly used in form of a Head-Up Display or is in testing as a Head-Worn Display (HWD) technology. HWD is a display unit attached directly to the user which implies that its most commonly in form of a helmet or glasses, specifically smart glasses. The projection of augmented reality into a visual field of a user in aviation department is undoubtedly a step forward, but the limitation of these imaging systems is the absence of an analysis of ergonomics of the display of selected data in the field of view. Presented project is focused on removing the above mentioned limitations and designing a concept layout of flight and navigation data from the primary flight display, in terms of both graphical and spatial, respecting the perceptual possibilities of the visible field of the user. The aim is to develop augmented reality software design and to verify HWD application. The software will be implemented in open-source smart glasses, and the way the flight and navigation data will be displayed will be designed with a view to maximize the usability of the presented data.

The proposed project concept focuses on studying the effect of fatigue on pilots' performance. The current state of fatigue tracking in aviation is based in particular on the collection of subjective data right after finishing the flight, i.e. in particular through questionnaire surveys. There are experimental attempts to quantify fatigue through physiological measurements, i.e. monitoring the psychophysiological condition of pilot. However, regarding these attempts, everything is still in the experimental point of view and the measurements are focused only on shorter experiments. For this reason, the present project introduces the concept of 24-hour measurements to create a variable fatigue level with respect to the subject's alertness and day time. During the experiment, there are simulated flights in which biosignals are measured with a primary focus on the brain and heart activity of the subject, and flight data are collected. In the time span between particular flights, battery performance and psychological tests are performed. The project therefore has the ambition to unify the standard methods used and to extend it to those experimentally used, either in the level of data collection or their evaluation, thus creating a complex experiment to study the influence of fatigue on pilots' performance. Such a study could contribute to efforts to objectify and determine the critical level of fatigue. This study could serve as a foundation for efforts to improve air transport safety.
