Abstract

The aircraft has to be considered for safety very importantly because of peculiarity of flight in the air, so it should be retained through proper inspection and maintenance not only in production phase but also in operating phase. Recently, it is using the latest technology as engineering approach not depending on human factor to determine on maintenance needs, and domestic production rotary aircraft also has the health & usage monitoring system to measure and to monitor major components. However, continued vibration exceedance phenomenon occurred in production and operation phase because of inappropriate thresholds, and it confirmed as false alarm which is not necessary to repair. In this paper, it is described that operational concept of HUMS, and especially it contains a study result for efficiency of aircraft operation and ultimately the improvement of flight safety by optimizing HUMS thresholds to determine efficiently necessity of maintenance under limited conditions and by establishing inspection/maintenance procedures when the re-designated thresholds exceedance occurred.

항공기는 비행이라는 특수성에 의해 안전성이 매우 중요하게 고려되어야 하며, 생산단계 뿐 아니라 운용 유지단계에서도 적절한 검사와 정비를 통해 비행안전성을 유지해야 한다. 최근에는 구성품의 건전성 확인과 정비 필요성 판단을 인적요소에 의존하지 않고 공학적 접근법에 의한 최신 기술이 사용되고 있으며, 국내에서 생산하는 회전익기에도 주요 구성품의 진동측정/감시 시스템인 health & usage monitoring system이 적용되어 운용 중에 있다. 그러나 진동 임계값이 부적절하여 생산 및 운용 간 지속적인 임계값 초과현상이 발생하였으며, 이는 실제 정비가 필요한 경우가 아닌 오경보로 판명되었다. 본 논문에서는 HUMS의 운용개념을 기술하고, 특히 제한된 여건에서 효율적으로 정비 필요성을 판단하기 위한 HUMS 임계값 최적화와 재설정된 임계값의 초과현상 발생시 조치해야하는 검사 및 정비행위를 정립하여 운용유지의 효율성과 궁극적으로 항공기 신뢰성을 향상 시킬 수 있는 연구를 수행하였다.
