Under the Aviation Safety Act of Korea, any person who intends to operate a drone is required to follow the operational conditions listed below, unless approved by the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism; (i) Operation of drones in the daytime, (ii) Operation of drones within Visual Line of Sight, (iii) Maintenance of a certain operating distance between drones and persons or properties on the ground/ water surface, (iv) Do not operate drones over event sites where many people gather, (v) Do not transport hazardous materials such as explosives by drone, (vi) Do not drop any objects from drones. Requirements stated in "Airspace in which Flights are Prohibited" and "Operational Limitations" are not applied to flights for search and rescue operations by public organizations in case of accidents and disasters. This paper analyzes legal issues as to definition and regulations of drones in Korean Aviation Safety Act. This paper, also, offers some implications and suggestions for regulations of drones under Korean Aviation Safety Act by comparing the regulations of drones in Japanese Civil Aeronautics Act.

In this paper, We analyze and present improvements to problems in software quality through Static Analysis for Open Source, which is widely used as the Flight Controller software for small unmanned aerial vehicle drones. MISRA coding rules, which are widely applied based on software quality, have been selected. Static analysis tools were used by LDRA tools certified international tools used in all industries, including automobiles, railways, nuclear power and healthcare, as well as aviation. We have identified some safety-threatening problems across the quality of the software, such as structure of open source modules, analysis of usage data, compliance with coding rules, and quality indicators (complexity and testability), and have presented improvements.

본 연구에서는 항공기 사고의 70%이상을 차지하는 이 ${\cdot}$ 착륙단계 중에서, 이륙 직후 저고도에서 동력이 상실되었을 경우에 이륙활주로 방향으로 Turning Back하는 것은 어떠한 안전 한계를 지니고 있는지를 알아보기 위하여, 우선 조종사에 대한 설문 조사를 실시하여 비행 경력별로 이륙 직후 동력 상실시의 비상 처치 경향과 위험에 처할 확률을 조사하였다. 그리고 실제 활공 성능이 우수한 M20J 항공기와 기동 성능이 우수한 FH20 항공기를 이용한 비행 시험을 통하여 이륙 직후 Turning Back to Runway조작 시의 고도 손실과 선회시 하강율을 실험 자료로 구하였다. 비행 시험 자료를 비교 적용함은 물론 선회 소요 시간과 고도 손실, 선회율과 활공 속도와의 관계 등의 항공 역학적 이론을 적용한 분석 근거에 기초하여 안전하게 Turning Back to Runway 조작을 시작할 수 있는 안전 고도 한계 및 선회율을 제시하였다.

This study analyzed the effect of flight stress on job satisfaction and safety culture on 193 domestic civil airline pilots. As a result of the analysis, flight stress had a negative effect on job satisfaction, and pilots with low job satisfaction had a low awareness of safety culture. In particular, there was a difference in the effect of flight stress on job satisfaction and safety culture according to the airlines and rank of pilots. This suggests the necessity of developing customized stress management programs for each airline and pilot position. The study emphasizes the importance of managing pilots' stress and improving job satisfaction to reinforce the safety culture of the aviation industry. In addition, airlines should develop strategies to strengthen safety culture by reducing pilot stress and increasing job satisfaction. The result of this study is to be used as useful basic data for finding ways to manage pilots' stress and strengthen safety culture in the aviation industry.

The demand for safety certification of Light Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (LUAVs), weighing between 25kg and 150kg, is rapidly increasing in Korea. Unfortunately, the number of LUAV safety certification failures is also on the rise, with manufacturing quality issues being identified as the main culprit. However, there is a lack of quality system standards for manufacturers within the LUAV safety certification system. As a result, this paper aims to analyze the domestic safety certification system and the quality standards set by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) for small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS). The goal is to establish quality system inspection standards specifically tailored for LUAV manufacturers. To achieve this, we propose additional inspection items that reflect the characteristics of the manufacturing quality system. These items will be identified through on-site inspections of LUAV manufacturers, ensuring that the resulting quality system standard aligns with the actual situation of domestic manufacturers. In order to gauge the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed quality system standard, we conducted a survey of seven domestic LUAV manufacturers.

Aircraft diagnostic systems identify system failures and nip aircraft accidents in the bud by removing hazards that hinder Safety Of Flight (SOF). The necessity for diagnostic systems is increasing as aircraft manufacturing technology is modernized. Many countries have conducted studies and developed diagnostic systems. However, studies about diagnostic systems are very few in Korea. This study defines the scope of aircraft diagnostics systems and closely considers methods to ensure the Safety Of Flight (SOF) for military aircraft.

The utilization of small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has expanded into both military and civilian domains, increasing the necessity for research to ensure operational safety and the efficient utilization of airspace. In this study, the calculation of minimum separation distances for the safe operation of small UAVs at low altitudes was conducted. The determination of minimum separation distances requires a comprehensive analysis of the total system errors associated with small UAVs, necessitating sensitivity analysis to identify key factors contributing to flight technology errors. Flight data for small UAVs were acquired by integrating the control system of an actual small UAV with a flight simulation program. Based on this data, operational scenarios for small UAVs were established, and the minimum separation distances for each scenario were calculated. This research contributes to proposing methods for utilizing calculated minimum separation distances as crucial parameters for ensuring the safe operation of small unmanned aerial vehicles in real-world scenarios.

The aviation has improved safety through technological innovation and strengthened flight safety through safety regulations and supervision by aviation authorities. As the industry's safety approach has evolved into a systematic approach to the aircraft system, airlines have established a safety management system. Technical defects or abnormal data in an aircraft can be warning signs that could lead to an accident, and the risk of an accident can be reduced by identifying and responding to these signs early. Therefore, management of abnormal warning signs is an essential element in promoting data-based decision-making and enhancing the operational efficiency and safety level of airlines. In this study, we present a model to statistically analyze quick access recorder (QAR) flight data in the preliminary analysis stage to analyze the patterns and causes of crab landing events that can lead to runway departures when landing an aircraft, and provide a precursor to a landing event. We aim to identify signs and causes and contribute to increasing the efficiency of safety management.

오늘날과 같이 시스템의 복잡화에 따른 고가의 시스템 구입비, 크기 및 중량의 허용한계 등과 같은 여러 제한요인 때문에 고도의 신뢰성 있는 무기체계 개발을 위해서는 무기체계 개발과정의 전 순기 동안에 시스템 안전(system safety)분야의 적용이 불가피하게 되었다. 시스템 안전에 관한 연구는 매년 증가하는 사고로부터 발생하는 엄청난 손실을 줄여보자는 필요하에 1960년 경부터 미국의 군대에서 시작되었다. 1969년 7월 미국 군사표준서MIL-STD-882(시스템 및 관련 부시스템에 대한 시스템 안전 프로그램 요구조건)가 제정된 이후 요즈음 미군의 방산물자 조달 및 획득시 시스템 안전분야 적용이 의무화되어있다. 시스템 안전분야는 개발중인 시스템의 설계, 개발, 운용과 관련된 여러 분야, 즉 품질보증, 인간공학, 시스템공학, 형상관리분야 등과 상호 밀접하게 연관되어 있으므로 이 분야에 대한 상호 이해와 끊임없는 정보교환이 요청되고 있다. 시스템 구성분야별, 무기체계 개발단계별로 조직적으로 분석된 시스템 안전결과를 토대로 프로 젝트 관리자(PM)는 개발중인 무기체계 시스템에 내재된 시스템 위험을 어느 수준까지 수용할 수 있을 것인가에 대한 현명한 판단을 내릴 수가 있게 되는데 항공기개발 프로그램의 경우 시스템 안전의 궁극적인 목표는 성공적인 초도 비행이라고 할 수 있다.

본 연구는 F-16 Simulator에서 모의비행하는 조종사를 그 대상으로 하였고 피실험자의 시역에서 물체에 대한 상대적인 눈의 움직임을 분석하고영상처리기법을 사용하는 EL-MAR의 eye-tracking system을 사용하여비행시 cross-check 하는 좆ㅇ사의 준 위치를 정확히 측정하고 안구움직임의 특성을 파악하였다. 비행상황을 정상상황, 비상상황으로 나누고 조종사는 숙련급, 비숙련금조종사로 구분하여측정, 분석하였다. 정상비행상황에서는 숙련급조종사가 비숙련급조 종사보다 계기에 머문시간은 짧고 계기의 관찰횟수는 많았으며 비상비행상황에서는 두 그룹의 조종사가 중점적으로 보는 계기가 달랐다. 조종사들이 많이 관찰하는 계기를 살펴보면, 계기에 머문시간에서는 HSI-ADI-ASI-ALT순으로 나타났고 계기의 관찰횟수에서는 ADI-HSI-ASI-ALT순으로 나타났다.
