The main goal of this study is the need to solve the problems of safe and effective development of airport infrastructure, since the implementation of effective international and European standards, transformation and modernization of airport infrastructure is one of the directions of Ukraine’s work in the process of implementing international and European standards, as well as in the development of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The authors used the method of analysis of the global reporting format to find out the requirements of the acts of international and European civil aviation organizations in the conditions of restoring the safety of civil aviation of Ukraine, compliance with standards and recommended practices regarding the certification of airport activities. Paths are defined recovery infrastructure of Ukrainian airports after the cessation of Russian military aggression, which caused horrible destruction, in particular, in the airport industry, the requirements for accreditation of airports, existing facilities on the territory of the airport were analyzed. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that the authors carried out a thorough analysis of the requirements of international and European civil aviation organizations for airport activity, directions for certification of airports after the end of the war, which would contribute to the economic development of the state. The experience of Ukraine’s cooperation with international and European civil aviation organizations in the field of airport certification should contribute to the restoration of state’s capabilities for the safety of civil aviation flights.

Air law is the law pertaining to the use of airspace. Over the years, it has progressed through the evolution of public and private international law, drawing principles of other branches of law such as contract law; tort law, and criminal law. At the base of air law are basic principles set out in the Convention on International Civil Aviation, popularly called the Chicago Convention which established The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) - a specialized agency of the United Nations. ICAO conducts its triennial Assembly on matters of importance to international civil aviation. At this Assembly, Resolutions are adopted which recommend and request action by the member States of ICAO; The Council of ICAO; and the ICAO Secretariat. These Resolutions are discretionary for the States while being generally considered mandatory for the ICAO Council and the ICAO Secretariat. These two entities endeavor to implement parts of the Resolutions which require their actions. There have been no accepted legal definitions of these Resolutions, nor have there been any pronouncements of their legal legitimacy as coercive and actionable principles at law, except for some academic opinions to the effect that such Resolutions are the mere outcome of political compromises which carry no legal legitimacy. This book examines Resolutions which address some critical areas adopted by the 41st Assembly of ICAO and their relevance to the progress of air law as well as their functions as a tool of management. This is the first book to scrutinise the legal legitimacy of ICAO resolutions. It gives the reader a comprehensive understanding of the nature of a United Nations resolution. It is a key reading and reference work for aviation lawyers and regulators; academics; students of international law and air law; airlines and airline associations; airports associations; climate change platforms; and NGOs.

Global food demands have led to the rapid introduction of Information Communication Technology (ICT) innovations in the agriculture sector—one such innovation is drone technology. Drones are used in precision agriculture, including aerial observation, sensing, and the spraying of pesticides. Regulations on the use of drones are necessary because drones can violate privacy rules, data protection rights, and public peace. However, many African countries have either very restrictive regulations, or no proper regulation in place, making the process of acquiring a license for drone operation cumbersome. In this study, we present the results of a literature review that explores the current drone regulations in Sub-Saharan Africa and the results of a systematic literature review (SLR) and survey study whereby we have interviewed the relevant stakeholders, in order to understand the challenges posed by the regulations to the effective use of drones for agriculture. The results indicate that the regulations contain about 40 to 85 per cent of the provisions of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) manual on Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPASs). In addition, whilst the SLR focused on the technology, safety, ethics and regulatory hurdles towards drones, the interviewees focused on the need for skill and awareness among the responsible authorities to enforce regulations, and the need for sustainability and participatory process in defining regulations.

In order to study the cruise safety of aircraft under high altitude and low pressure, the combustion characteristics of protective cover and insulation layer of waxy aviation cable FXL under normal pressure and low pressure are studied in this paper. The minimum ignition time (TTI), the maximum radiation temperature, the flue gas density and the mass loss rate of the protective cover and insulation layer of the waxy FXL aviation cable under 96 kPa and 61 kPa were studied. It is found that the minimum radiation temperature and TTI of the cable at 61 kPa are slightly higher than those at 96 kPa, but the activation energy is basically not affected by the air pressure. The smoke density and smoke composition under 96 kPa and 61 kPa were further studied, and it was found that the smoke density of the cable under 61 kPa sheath and insulation layer was lower than that under 96 kPa. The oxygen, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide components in the flue gas were studied. It was found that the O 2 concentration of 96 kPa and 61 kPa cable protective sleeve and insulation layer decreased steadily at first and then increased. The change trend of CO 2 concentration was opposite, and the CO concentration showed a double-peak phenomenon. In addition, the mass loss rate (MLR) at different O 2 concentrations increases linearly with the increase in O 2 concentration. This work helps to understand the difference of combustion characteristics between 96 and 61 kPa, and provides a reference for improving civil aviation safety performance.

In the process of civil aviation safety production, countries and organizations have unified the establishment of a mandatory accident reporting system. In addition, in order to prevent aviation accidents and accident symptoms to the maximum extent, and to obtain as detailed information as possible in the first time when accidents, accident symptoms and other civil aviation unsafe incidents occur, Countries and organizations should also establish a non-punitive voluntary aviation incident reporting system to complement this. NASA in the 1970s began to establish the aviation voluntary reporting system, the system ASRS later became the world’s first implementation of the aviation safety voluntary reporting system. This paper is a comprehensive study on the voluntary reporting system for civil aviation safety. By using data mining technology, the 6W structured expression model of aviation safety accident report is established on the basis of ASRS system for aviation safety accident report, and the information of different dimensions and different data structures is studied completely and systematically. According to the data types in the 6W structured representation model, two data mining methods of multi-dimension analysis and text classification are selected.

In order to scientifically predict the passenger throughput of civil aviation airports. The paper taked Hefei Xinqiao International Airport as the research object, comprehensively considers multi-source data such as GDP, permanent population, airport competition, and spatial distance, used multiple linear regression, gravity-regression and other methods to construct a prediction model, and the results were obtained by different methods. The prediction result errors were compared and analyzed. The results of the study show GDP and population are important factors affecting the passenger throughput of civil aviation airports. The multiple linear regression model that considers the factors affecting airport competition can improve the accuracy of prediction, and the gravity-regression model can effectively predict the passenger throughput of civil aviation airports.

The European Union is a supranational structure and is an important part of the global civil aviation market. Terrorist acts are the most dangerous challenge to civil aviation security in the 20th and 21st centuries. Ensuring civil aviation security is one of the key priorities of the member states in particular and the European Union in particular.This article reflects attempts to regulate the process of preventing the negative effects of the terrorist phenomenon on the process of ensuring civil aviation security in the European Union. Following the tragic events of September 11th, 2001 in the United States, the process of regulating civil aviation security in the European Union has rapidly developed. Subsequent attempts to carry out terrorist attacks on civilian aircraft, as well as world experience, have contributed to the awareness of the need to regulate this process at the supranational level. The systemic analysis of the legal norms at the level of the European Union that have as object of regulation the assurance of the civil aviation security is the analysis object of this research.

The career maturity of aviation English teachers affects the level of aviation English teaching staff and the quality of aviation English teaching, which has a significant impact on the civil aviation education. Using the civil aviation English teachers at the Civil Aviation Flight University of China (CAFUC) as the research object, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is adopted to construct an evaluation model and system for the career maturity of civil aviation English teachers. Through questionnaire surveys and data analysis using the AHP, the results show that the overall career maturity of civil aviation English teachers in CAFUC is in the innovation stage, but there is still room for improvement and relevant suggestions are proposed. The aim is to achieve interdisciplinary linkage in the development of teachers in civil aviation colleges and universities, and to establish a scientific, comprehensive, and dynamic evaluation system that is in line with the characteristics of the professional development of civil aviation teachers.

From the perspective of ecological translation, the “three-dimensional conversion” method of civil aviation terminology is proposed to help improve the accuracy of civil aviation English terminology translation. The strategy of cultivating civil aviation English translation talents is provided by three means: enhancing the awareness of ecological translation aesthetics, multicultural literacy, and innovative cultivation modes. Based on the QFD method under the TRIZ theory, the quality evaluation model of civil aviation English translation talent cultivation is constructed, and the degree of talent cultivation demand is calculated. Construct an information technology training platform for English translation talents in the civil aviation industry, focusing on four aspects: system function, innovation theory learning, innovation theory application, and innovation achievement evaluation. The effects of the civil aviation English translation talent cultivation model and quality evaluation are analyzed separately. According to the findings, the innovative civil aviation English translation talent cultivation model achieves scores of 0.68, 0.77, 0.46, 0.7, and 0.41, and is more effective than the traditional talent cultivation model. In the quality evaluation of civil aviation English translation talent training, all 19 indexes scored above 5 points, indicating that the quality of talent training is better and can deliver a number of high-quality English translation talents to the civil aviation industry.

With the rapid development of China’s aviation industry, the accurate prediction of civil aviation passenger volume is crucial to the sustainable development of the industry. However, the current prediction of civil aviation passenger traffic has not yet reached the ideal accuracy, so it is particularly important to improve the accuracy of prediction. This paper explores and compares the effectiveness of the backpropagation (BP) neural network model and the SARIMA model in predicting civil aviation passenger traffic. Firstly, this study utilizes data from 2006 to 2019, applies these two models separately to forecast civil aviation passenger traffic in 2019, and combines the two models to forecast the same period. Through comparing the mean relative error (MRE), mean square error (MSE), and root mean square error (RMSE), the prediction accuracies of the two single models and the combined model are evaluated, and the best prediction method is determined. Subsequently, using the data from 2006 to 2019, the optimal method is applied to forecast the civil aviation passenger traffic from 2020 to 2023. Finally, this paper compares the epidemic’s impact on civil aviation passenger traffic with the actual data. This paper improves the prediction accuracy of civil aviation passenger volume, and the research results have practical significance for understanding and evaluating the impact of the epidemic on the aviation industry.
