Meteorological support of flights (MSF) of civil aviation (CA) is one of the types of support of flights and is carried out in order to ensure the safety, regularity and efficiency of flights by providing the required meteorological information to users of airspace, bodies engaged in air traffic management. The international and national regulation of the MSF CA is based on the recommendations of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and ICAO as well as the Federal Aviation Regulations and other regulatory and guidance documents. In the Russian Federation the MSF CA is performed by "Aviamettelekom of Roshydromet", which is a regional organization with a regional-distributed network of structural units including a head office and 15 branches. Aerodrome meteorological authorities conduct the direct meteorological support. At present, there are a number of problems in the MSF CA, that is availability of the regulatory acts and rules allowing the use by aviation consumers of meteorological information supplied outside the officially authorized providers of meteorological information; insufficient technical provision with modern meteorological equipment of aerodrome meteorological authorities; obsolescence of existing technical means to carry out meteorological observations and supply meteorological information; lack of qualified meteorologists; divisions redundancy of "Aviamettelekom of Roshydromet"; in a number of regions of the Russian Federation there is a lack of reliable methods for weather forecasts and hazardous weather phenomena for aviation; insufficient coverage of the country's territory with a network of meteorological radar and aerological stations. The main ways of improving the MSF CA must be guided in several directions simultaneously: improvement of the legislative and regulatory frameworks of the MSF CA; the development and introduction of modern technical means for carrying out meteorological observations and measurements; development and implementation of computer-aided forecasting on the basis of modern numerical methods and prediction techniques; the centralization of the forecasting processes and sharing weather data.

The implementation of Trajectory-Based Operations, invented by the Single European Sky Air Traffic Management Research program SESAR, enables airlines to fly along optimized waypoint-less trajectories and accordingly to significantly increase the sustainability of the air transport system in a business with increasing environmental awareness. However, unsteady weather conditions and uncertain weather forecasts might induce the necessity to re-optimize the trajectory during the flight. By considering a re-optimization of the trajectory during the flight they further support air traffic control towards achieving precise air traffic flow management and, in consequence, an increase in airspace and airport capacity. However, the re-optimization leads to an increase in the operator and controller’s task loads which must be balanced with the benefit of the re-optimization. From this follows that operators need a decision support under which circumstances and how often a trajectory re-optimization should be carried out. Local numerical weather service providers issue hourly weather forecasts for the coming hour. Such weather data sets covering three months were used to re-optimize a daily A320 flight from Seattle to New York every hour and to calculate the effects of this re-optimization on fuel consumption and deviation from the filed path. Therefore, a simulation-based trajectory optimization tool was used. Fuel savings between 0.5% and 7% per flight were achieved despite minor differences in wind speed between two consecutive weather forecasts in the order of 0.5 m s−1. The calculated lateral deviations from the filed path within 1 nautical mile were always very small. Thus, the method could be easily implemented in current flight operations. The developed performance indicators could help operators to evaluate the re-optimization and to initiate its activation as a new flight plan accordingly.

Aircraft Trajectory

Today, each flight is filed as a static route not later than one hour before departure. From there on, changes of the lateral route initiated by the pilot are only possible with air traffic control clearance and in the minority. Thus, the initially optimized trajectory of the flight plan is flown, although the optimization may already be based upon outdated weather data at take-off. Global weather data as those modeled by the Global Forecast System do, however, contain hints on forecast uncertainties itself, which is quantified by considering so-called ensemble forecast data. In this study, the variability in these weather parameter uncertainties is analyzed, before the trajectory optimization model TOMATO is applied to single trajectories considering the previously quantified uncertainties. TOMATO generates, based on the set of input data as provided by the ensembles, a 3D corridor encasing all resulting optimized trajectories. Assuming that this corridor is filed in addition to the initial flight plan, the optimum trajectory can be updated even during flight, as soon as updated weather forecasts are available. In return and as a compromise, flights would have to stay within the corridor to provide planning stability for Air Traffic Management compared to full free in-flight optimization. Although the corridor restricts the re-optimized trajectory, fuel savings of up to 1.1%, compared to the initially filed flight, could be shown.

Recently, the incidence of civilian aircraft crashes has increased. These disasters lead to many casualties. Around the world, safetyis apriority in regulating air transport. But flight safety is closely related to pilotfatigue. In this regard, the pilot load standards must be clearly verified. The aim of the article is to analyze the possibility of increasing the sanitary norms of the flight load and at the same timereducing the annual leave for the crew members of civil aviation personnel inRussia. The methods used are both empirical (analysis andsynthesis, induction and deduction, systematization), and theoretical. Each airline must develop an effective risk management system based on thosedeveloped abroad. This system should include control over the rest of the pilots, ensure uninterrupted vacation for at least three weeks, take into account the qualityof the inter-shift rest of the pilots, fly in unusual situations.

The article is devoted to the analysis of inaccuracies in the terminology and in the description of safety management procedures associated with both shortcomings in the documents of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and incorrect, and sometimes simply erroneous translation of certain provisions of the documents from English into Russian. As well known, all ICAO documents are originally written in English and correct translation is extremely important for their adequate understanding and application in practice. This is especially important for Russian airlines, as methodological developments on the implementation of safety management systems (SMS) at the state level are not enough. Experience in the development and implementation of SMS in airlines shows that due to inaccuracies in ICAO documents there are additional difficulties. Accordingly, there is a broad and often subjective interpretation of a number of ICAO Rube provisions in airlines, which leads to a conflict of priorities and irrational use of resources of airline and other aviation enterprises. The article notes with a demonstration of specific examples that in each new ICAO document in Russian the names of components and elements of the conceptual framework (structure) of the SMS of the service provider change, although in the original English version these names are constant since 2006.The main methodological difficulties in the development and implementation of the SMS by service providers are associated with risk management, and it is in this part that the greatest number of inaccuracies in the documents is observed. It is shown, in particular, that the term "Risk Factor" appeared in the ICAO SMM due to the erroneous translation into Russian of the English term "Safety Risk", and its use in parallel with the term "Hazard" in high-level documents (the Air Code of the Russian Federation, article 24.1 and in the Decree of the Russian Federation Government from 18.11.2014 No 1215) introduces additional confusion at the level of air enterprises in the understanding of risk management within the technocratic concept of risk.

Using Data

Based on the method and statistical model of the Hydrometeorological Centre of Russia (V. V. Oganesyan) and using data of meteorological observations at more than 1400 stations in Russia, a centralized assessment of potential damage from the main types of severe and adverse weather events is made in monetary terms both throughout Russia and on the territories of individual Regional Offices of the Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring and individual constituent entities of the Russian Federation. To provide comparability of the results for different years, monetary estimates for Russia and its individual territories are reduced to the benchmark price level of 2017. For 2017, the integral estimate of potential damage for Russia is compared with the estimate of damage from severe and adverse weather events as a share of the country’s annual GDP. In this case, the difference in the above estimates does not exceed 5.4%.

Today, countries are developing new forms of interaction between state and mass media and expanding their regulatory frameworks. In several states, specific integrated institutes and legal sectors have been formed that regulate the legal status of mass media. Since the early 1990s, the Russian Federation has been working on special rules governing the constitutional status of mass media. During this period, a comprehensive media institute formed in the framework of information law, which later transformed into mass media law. The evolution of this institute is of particular scientific interest, as Russia did not have any law on mass media until the end of the 20th century.
