항공기의 이륙단념(Rejected Takeoff) 사고는 흔히 발생하지는 않지만, 발생하면 큰 사고로 이어지는 경우가 대부분이다. 제트기에 의한 운송서비스가 본격적으로 시작된 1959년부터 2000년 까지의 이륙단념 사고사례를 조사해 본 결과 총 94건이 발생했다. 사고사례 모두가 활주로 이탈로 이어졌고, 그 주요 원인은 이륙결심 속도를 넘어서 조작을 시작했기 때문이라고 미국교통안전위원회(NTSB)에서 발표하였다. 이런 결과는 미국 항공우주국(NASA)의 준사고보고제도(ASRS)에서 조사한 자료에도 비슷한 결과가 나온 바 있다. 따라서 항공기 운항의 기준이 되는 항공기 비행규정(Airplane Flight Manual)을 만들 때 적용하는 미국연방항공법(FAR)상의 이륙단념 전환시간이 국내 현장조종사에서도 적합한 지에 관해 연구하였다.

This study analyzes the influential factors and patterns associated with death from aircraft accidents and incidents using data mining techniques. To this end, we used two datasets for aircraft accidents and incidents, one from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the other from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). We developed our prediction models using the decision tree classifier to predict death from aircraft accidents or aircraft incidents and thereby derive the main cause factors and patterns that can cause death based on these prediction models. In the NTSB data, deaths occurred frequently when the aircraft was destroyed or people were performing dangerous missions or maneuver. In the FAA data, deaths were mainly caused by pilots who were less skilled or less qualified when their aircraft were partially destroyed. Several death-related patterns were also found for parachute jumping and aircraft ascending and descending phases. Using the derived patterns, we proposed helpful strategies to prevent death from the aircraft accidents or incidents.

Purpose: The objective of this study is to suggest desirable direction of Korean accident investigation organization by analyzing the operation status and way of overseas developed countries' investigation agency. Method: To accomplish the objective of this study, we were examined four main characteristics of accident investigation agencies of the U.S., Japan, and Sweden, focusing on (1); the background of the establishment, (2);organizational structure, (3);major tasks and functions, (4); accident investigation procedures. Result: First, the purpose of its establishment and task is to prevent recurrence of disasters and accidents, at the same time, administrating and researching duties such as legal system, policy, recommending improvement and conducting scientific disaster-cause analysis to contribute safety for the government. Second, it is operated as an independent organization under the president, not belonging to the ministry, in order to enable fair investigation in an impartial position. Third, it has the authority to be recognized for its expertise in the results of investigation. In other words, it is operated as a permanent organization with professional personnel, and secures authority through the accident research with indepth investigation and high-quality recommendations. Conclusion: The overseas investigation agencies rapidly manage and coordinate their operational practices in order to resolve national requirements and social conflicts with fairness, accuracy and expertise in accident investigations. In order to prevent the recurrence of similar events, Korea needs to efficiently reconstruct its investigative functions distributed by each government department. In addition, institutional improvement is needed to make general adjustments at the national level, organize and operate control tower for when the accident has happened.
