  • To promote the aviation safety reporting system that is operated to enhance aviation safety and to utilize related information, it should first be preceded by standards for non-punishment and data protection. It is because the purpose of collection and analysis of aviation safety related data through the aviation safety reporting system is to prevent recurrence of accidents by investigating their causes through collection and analysis of diverse types of information related to aviation safety. Both mandatory and voluntary reporting systems are in operation for aviation safety under the current Aviation Safety Act. It is said that they were introduced to survey causes for accidents and to prevent recurrences. In fact, however, it is hard to expect active implementation of the reporting system for aviation safety unless the reporters are firstly exempted from punishment. Therefore, the system should be improved so that it can satisfy its purpose and the purposes of data collection concerning aviation safety through examination of the purposes of the reporting system. One of the matters that needs to be considered to promote the reporting system should be the scope of aviation safety hindrances presupposed under the current institution. The voluntary aviation safety reporting system differs from the systems of ICAO or the key advanced countries, including the USA and the UK as it limits the target accidents subject to reporting to minor aviation safety hindrances only. That being said, improvements should be made by requiring mandatory reporting of aviation safety hindrances based on their severity while recognizing a greater variety of aviation safety concerns like international standards. Safety actions and sharing of information based on collection and analysis of diverse data related to aviation safety will greatly contribute to enhance aviation safety as the purposes of the reporting system are to explore causes for accidents and to prevent their recurrences. What is most important in this regard is strict data protection and non-punishment principles; compliance with them should be secured. We can hardly expect the successful operation of the system unless the reporter is exempted from punishment and the relevant data is protected as promotion of voluntary reporting is an essential factor for enhancing the safety culture. Otherwise, the current system may induce hiding of relevant facts or data to evade punishment. It is true that the regulation for enhancing safety tends to have limitations or blind spots; nevertheless, it should still be enforced strictly and completely. Technological progresses and mistakes of operators appear in different forms based on individual cases. The consequential damages may amount to a truly severe level. Therefore, we have studied and suggested to the methods of activiation and amendments on the aviation safety reporting system, which is referred for one of the proactive safety management systems. The proposed improvement of the reporting system and introduction of non-punishment for collection of aviation safety data for deploying a preemptive prevention system would serve as the backbone for enhancing aviation safety in Korea.

  • 항공산업의 초창기에는 항공기 안전사고의 대부분이 기술결함으로 인하여 발생하였다. 그러나 항공기술의 발달로 인한 첨단화, 정밀화되면서 기술결함에 의한 사고는 대폭 감소하였지만 인적요인에 의한 사고는 일정한 수준 감소 이후 꾸준하게 유지하고 있다. ICAO따르면 인적요인의 70~80%가 재발 가능성이 존재하며 독자적인 원인이 아닌 위험요소의 복합적작용으로 발생한다고 기술하고 있다. 이를 방지하기 ICAO에서는 항공안전을 위협하는 사고(ACCIDENTS), 준사고(Serious INCIDENTS), 항공안전장애(HINDRANCES)등의 데이터를 수집, 공유, 분석을 통해 항공안전 위해요소를 사전에 제거, 차단할 수 있는 사전예방 시스템의 수립을 권고하고 있으며 이를 위해 국제사회를 중심으로 의무보고제도, 자율보고제도 등이 활발하게 운영되고 있다. 그러나 국내의 경우 운영시스템의 체계화 및 정부, 관련부처의 노력에도 불구하고 일부보고제도만이 정착되어있고 자율보고제도는 사회적 환경, 문화적 요건의 차이 등으로 인하여 활발하게 운영되지 못하고 있다. 따라서 국내 외 안전자율보고제도의 동향을 바탕으로 해당제도의 효율적인 정착 방안을 모색할 필요가 있을 것이다.
