Korean civil airworthiness requirements of powerplant system are regulated by KAS(Korean Airworthiness Standard) Part 23 and Part 33. These are equivalent to FAR Part 23, Part 33 of FAA, and CS-23 and CS-E of EASA. FAA and EASA rewrite the airworthiness requirements for small airplane. They changed current 'prescriptive regulation' to a 'performance-based regulation' which makes safety performance the objective. Powerplant requirements have also been changed extensively by this concept revolution. In accordance with this reorganization, we studied the new powerplant system requirements of FAR Part 23 and proposed ideal directions to rewrite the Korean Airworthiness Standard.

항공전자부품은 항공기의 핵심기능 분야를 구성하는 부품으로서 개발 및 제작 단계에서 안전성 및 신뢰성 평가를 수행하여야 하며 개발한 항공전자부품을 항공기에 창착하기 위해서는 감항기준에 의거한 적합성을 검증 받아야 한다. 미국 연방항공청에서 고시하고 있는 기술표준품(TAO) 중 항공전자부품은 약 65%를 차지하고 있으며 TSO로 지정되지 않은 PMA 부품 등을 고려하며 부품의 종류 및 량은 상당수에 이르고 있다. 최근의 항공전자부품은 디지털화의 가속화로 비행안전기능이 보강되고 조종사의 업무강도를 줄이는 방향으로 발전되어 가고 있다. 그리고 이러한 분야에는 소프트웨어가 채용되어 소프트웨어의 인증이라는 인증절차가 개발되고 있다. 이 글은 국산 항공전자부품의 개발에 앞서 항공전자부품의 인증 내역을 제시함으로서 국내 독자적인 인증 수행은 물론 설계 참여자들이 인증에 대한 인식이 될 수 있도록 하였고 내용적으로는 미연방항공청(FAA)과 유럽공동감항기구(JAA)의 절차를 중심으로 작성하였다.

최신 전투기로 발전할수록 증가되는 소프트웨어 의존도와 네트워크 중심전으로의 작전 수행 개념의 변화, 그리고 무기체계에 대하여 지속적으로 발전하는 사이버 위협의 증가는 전투기 소프트웨어에 대한 강화된 보안 대책을 요구하고 있다. 이러한 상황의 변화는 전투기의 운용 및 소프트웨어 결함에 대한 감항인증 뿐만 아니라, 전투기 소프트웨어에 대한 사이버 위협의 보안 대책도 함께 요구한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 항공기 및 시스템 감항 보안 인증기준인 DO-326A와 DO-356을 적용하여 전투기 운용 환경을 고려한 항공무기체계의 특성과 항공기에 대한 사이버 공격에 대해 살펴보고, 이를 바탕으로 감항 보안 프로세스를 적용해 본다.

Airworthiness certification is critical, in ensuring the flight safety of military aircraft for development tests and production operations. The MIL-HDBK-516C, latest airworthiness certification document, handles the field of flying qualities in Chapter 6 (flight technology), and refers to specific chapters of MIL-STD-1797B, which is the specification document for developing military aircraft. Since the MIL-STD-1797B released in 2006 by the U.S. Department of Defense is not disclosed to other countries, the Chapter 6 (flight technology) of MIL-HDBK-516B Expanded, the former certification standards pursuant to flying qualities, has to be applied to military aircraft being developed in the Republic of Korea. However the requirements of Chapter 6 of MIL-HDBK-516B Expanded comprise unclear sentences, because of contents from various development specifications. Also, clarification is needed in that the same requirements have to be verified in different criteria. In this paper, the results of this study present an effective verification method, for acquiring the airworthiness certification in field of flying qualities based on MIL-HDBK-516B Expanded.

For operating military aircraft, military certificate of airworthiness (MCA) must be obtained from military authority. Among procedures of general airworthiness certification, there is a military type certification process that aircraft design complies with military airworthiness certification criteria. The Surion is the first military rotorcraft which has obtained military type certificate, production validation and airworthiness certificate in Korea, and the Surion derivatives for special mission are being operated for government services. Based on Aviation Safety Act, in order to operate the Surion derivatives (military aircraft) for special purpose (such as emergency patient transportation and firefighting), the issuance of special airworthiness certificates was needed from civil airworthiness authority, and the restricted category type certification (RTC) is one of design approvals for special airworthiness certification to be streamlined. This study discussed the procedures for acquiring RTC for special purpose operation of the Surion derivatives classified as military derived aircraft, and suggested procedural ideas to improve Korean RTC system.

The aircraft fuel system performs a number of functions such as supplying fuel, transferring fuel between fuel tanks, and measuring the amount of residual fuel in each fuel tank. Since it is a direct cause of fire hazard in crash incident, it is a must to improve survivability of crew members by designing the airframe to tolerate expected crash impact. The civil aviation authority requires intensive verification of the fuel system design to determine precise application of the airworthiness requirement. Research activity on airworthiness certification criteria and verification scheme is still insufficient, although it has a significant importance. In this paper, as part of a study to improve flight safety by developing guidelines for demonstrating fuel system crash resistance, analysis results of fuel system crash-related airworthiness certification standards, verification scheme, and cases study applicable to military rotorcraft have been reviewed.

Since Korea has invested only on developing an aircraft, it is true that Korea has neglected detailed standards and procedures about certification activities including essential safety procedures. Most developed countries have implemented mandatory airworthiness system by legislating it for operational safety of aircraft based on ICAO Annex 8, and the U.S. Department of Defense and the FAA's Airworthiness system have been adapted it to the realities of their circumstance. Therefore, Airworthiness system that can guarantee the safety of the aircraft at international level is necessary to enhance flight safety and to create export opportunities of an aircraft as a country which can develop an aircraft by itself To achieve this, a study on the improvement of aircraft airworthiness was carried out by analyzing the problem of domestic airworthiness system and by reflecting international best practices on the establishment of a system for improved Airworthiness.

This study would like to propose a certification of aviation components manufactured through 3D printing. Currently, many types of 3D printers are being used in various industries. Among them, a lot of research is being done in the aviation sector to manufacture drones and aviation components. However, the current level of 3D printer technology and the application of aviation components using it are lacking in many problems and related airworthiness certification standards. Furthermore, clear certification criteria for conformity and coherence are rarely presented. Therefore, we would like to propose matters related to certification of 3D printed equipment for application as aviation components. It is expected that 3D printing equipment will improve precision, reduce defect rate, sagging problem, and bed leveling problem will be solved in the future, and certification standards will be clearly established. In addition, we hope that the reliability of aviation components applied with 3D printing technology will be improved and the relevant certification standards will be further developed.

Aircraft parts are considered as a significant element for the continued airworthiness of the certified aircraft well as a partial component consisting of the new aircraft design. US FAA established the certification system of Parts Manufacturer Approval in 1965, which is contributing to the continued airworthiness of the aircraft in operation and to the expansion of worldwide market of aircraft parts. In this paper, we compared the differences of the certification systems between FAA Parts Manufacturer Approval and EASA European Part Approval, and proposed the rulemaking items to improve Korean Parts Manufacturer Certification System and to contribute to growth of aircraft parts industry.

Due to the development of domestic technology, a variety of aircraft launch weapons have been developed, and the importance of aircraft-store integration certification is increasing. The aircraft-Store integration certification is to certify compliance with the armaments/stores integration criteria set out in the Standard ACC and to prove that there is no problem with the safety flight. Therefore, it is necessary to reflect the requirements of the aircraft in the store development process to reduce the design change requirement in the compatibility verification stage. In this paper, the relationship between the Standards ACC, aircraft-store compatibility reference document MIL-HDBK-1763, and the development process of cruise guided weapons have been analyzed. As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that the design changes in the aircraft-store integration certification stage could be reduced if the aerodynamic and structural design requirements were reflected from the conceptual design stage.
