Researchers from the Department of Avionics and Control at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautics at the Rzeszow University of Technology, Dr Eng. Piotr Grzybowski and Kamil Ziolkowski, are working on an instrument to facilitate flight planning and monitoring as part of the COAST project, which is part of the European Clean Aviation project. 

In Kunovice, the Czech Republic, flight tests and a demonstration of the technology being developed under the COAST (Cost Effective Avionic System) project took place. These were to prove that the developed instrument allows for the real-time indication of problems in the execution of the flight plan, which arise in particular from air traffic, changing weather conditions and terrain.

The COAST project focuses on the development of key technologies to support the idea of low-cost cockpit equipment for disposition aircraft enabling single-pilot flight. The target segment is aircraft carrying up to 19 passengers.
