Learning Outcomes

Key competencies: analysis of existing telecommunications systems in aeronautics related to ship and ground control. Emphasis will be placed on short- and long-distance communication systems (analog and digital), location (radar and GPS), radio help and other miscellaneous equipment. In addition to these topics, aspects related to air traffic control, flight plan, routes and dissemination of meteorological information will also be focused.

Transversal competencies: correct use of technical-scientific notation/language; communicate appropriately in the Portuguese language; stimulate the interest/use of the English language, and deepen knowledge in the areas of information technology and electronics.
