| Abstract: | The aim of this research, titled "Assessment of Emergency Landing Options: Case Study of Riga Flight Information Region" is to explore and analyze the feasibility of emergency landings within the Riga FIR and evaluate the necessity of an additional runway. The theoretical section of the study covers various types of aviation accidents and emergency landing procedures. The empirical part includes a thorough analysis of meteorological aerodrome reports (METAR) to assess whether weather conditions are conducive to safe landings at Lielvarde military airfield. Based on the findings, conclusions are drawn regarding the need for an additional runway. The study also examines other potential airfields, not listed in the Republic of Latvia's Aeronautical Information Publications, which could serve as emergency landing sites. To enhance pilots' situational awareness, digital maps have been developed to display these alternative airfields. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
