As seen in the case of the Boeing 737 Max accident, the proportion of aircraft software is rapidly increasing. However, it is vulnerable to safety issues. In case of domestic aircraft software, to operate a Light Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (LUAV) less than an empty weight of 150 kg, safety certification is required for an Ultra-Light Vehicle (ULV). However, software certification procedure is not included. Since the use of LUAVs has increased recently, software verification is required. This paper proposed a checklist of LUAV software that could be applied to LUAV referring DO-178C, an aviation software certification standard. A case study of applying the proposed checklist to the Model-based Development-based Helicopter Flight Control Computer (FCC) project currently used by domestic and foreign advanced companies and institutions was conducted.

Pilots have used checklist as a valuable tool to improve aviation safety and to reduce human error. A checklist however is too complex for a student pilot to use with less flight experience or time than a commercial pilot. It is agreed upon such complex checklist be a factor to threaten aviation safety for student pilots. This paper has focused on a checklist by dividing it into a couple of basic three flight procedures. Making exploratory case study of student pilots, researchers could analyze the correlation between checklist factors and those of human errors. First of all, it was necessary for student pilots to be educated professional knowledge regarding aircraft structures and engines to perform preflight inspection reducing human errors. Moreover it was recommended student pilots as well as maintenance crew confirm checklist together to enhance aviation safety.

시설물 점검은 사람이 직접 들어가거나 올라가 확인하는 방식이 일반적이다. 본 연구에서는 시설물 점검을 보다 안전하고 신속하게 하는 것을 전제로 하여 현재 상용화 되고 있는 드론과 아두이노를 이용한 센서를 적용하고자 한다. 본 논문은 기존의 어려운 조작의 드론에 건물 내부에서 호버링이 가능하게 하는 옵티컬 플로어 센서를 장착아여 조작을 보다 쉽게 한다. 또한, 외부 비행 시 GPS센서를 사용하여 좌표지정을 통한 자동비행을 가능하게 하고 아두이노의 센서와 펌프를 적용한 "오토파일럿이 가능한 시설물 관리 드론" 기술을 제안한다. 기존의 드론과 다르게 카메라와 센서를 이용해 시설물 관리를 대신하고, 외부 시설물 관리나 농업 등에서 사용할 때 좌표를 지정해 사용자가 직접 조작하지 않아도 지정한 좌표로 드론이 이동하여 관리 및 임무를 수행한다. 센서들의 값을 앱으로 전송받아 핸드폰으로 받아 볼 수 있다.

The checklist currently used for Aviation safety inspection performed by ASIs consists of inspection groups and multiple items, it does not have structured hierarchy system which required to efficiently process aviation safety analysis. On this study, through mapping taxonomy of HFACS onto current checklist to secure structured hierarchy system and present a specification on systematic frequency and severity to perform safety risk assessment of detected hazard.

The detection sensitivity of a Walk Through Metal Detector (WTMD) currently being developed and operated in Korea differs from one manufacturer to another, making it difficult for them to be used based on Aviation Security level. In addition, the FAA 3-GUN Test approved by the domestic aviation authority for aviation security supervision is a single test object. There is no Operational Test Piece (OTP) consisting of multiple test objects for the operation of aviation security for a WTMD. This paper, the detection sensitivity of a WTMD applied by a commercial OTP was measured and detection sensitivity standards for a WTMD were developed based on results of measurement. Furthermore, institutional plans to maintain the same detection sensitivity for domestic aviation security were made through suggestions for Korean standards OTP development methods, taking characteristics of the aviation field into consideration.

Aviation safety is the stage in which the risk of harm to persons or of property damage is reduced to, and maintained at or below, an acceptable level through a continuing process of hazard identification and risk management. Many accidents and incidents have been taking place since 2014, while there had been relatively safer skies before 2014. International civil aviation community has been exerting great efforts to deal with these emerging issues, thus enhancing and ensuring safety throughout the world over the years. The Preamble of the Chicago Convention emphasizes safety and order of international air transport, and so many Articles in the Convention are related to the safety. Furthermore, most of the Annexes to the Convention are International Standards and Recommended Practices pertaining to the safety. In particular, Annex 19, which was promulgated in Nov. 2013, dealing with safety management system. ICAO, as law-making body, has Air Navigation Commission, Council, Assembly to deliberate and make decisions regarding safety issues. It is also implementing USOAP and USAP to supervise safety functions of member States. After MH 370 disappeared in 2014, ICAO is developing Global Tracking System whereby there should be no loophole in tracking the location of aircraft anywhere in world with the information provided by many stakeholders concerned. MH 17 accident drove ICAO to install web-based repository where information relating to the operation in conflict zones is provided and shared. In addition, ICAO has been initiating various solutions to emerging issues such as ebola outbreak and operation under extreme meteorological conditions. Considering the necessity of protection and sharing of safety data and information to enhance safety level, ICAO is now suggesting enhanced provisions to do so, and getting feedback from member States. It has been observed that ICAO has been approaching issues towards problem-solving from four different dimensions. First regarding time, it analyses past experiences and best practices, and make solutions in short, mid and long terms. Second, from space perspective, ICAO covers States, region and the world as a whole. Third, regarding stakeholders it consults with and hear from as many entities as it could, including airlines, airports, community, consumers, manufacturers, air traffic control centers, air navigation service providers, industry and insurers. Last not but least, in terms of regulatory changes, it identifies best practices, guidance materials and provisions which could become standards and recommended practices.

Risk Based Oversight is a way of performing oversight, where planning is driven by the combination of risk profile and safety performance. Risk Based Oversight enables prioritization and allocation of State's safety management resources commensurate with the safety risk profile of each service provider. This paper presents the concept of Risk Based Oversight and applies it to the current Korean aviation safety oversight process. In particular, this study presents a method for generating operating profiles, one of the key concepts of Risk Based Oversight. Operations Specifications of Part 121 Airlines can generate operating profiles. In this study, a practical study was conducted to generate the operating profile and scoped DCTs using Part 121 Airlines's Operations Specifications.

Special airworthiness certificates can be issued if the aircraft does not meet the airworthiness standards, but it is deemed that it can be operated safely by partially limiting the scope of operation and flight performance. Currently, Korea is subject to experimental special certification for UAS(Unmanned Aircraft Systems) exceeding 150 kg of its own weight, but detailed guidelines need to be prepared on how to prove that they can be operated safely in a limited range. Recently, Korea Airworthiness Standard(KAS) Part 21 has been revised to reflect this, but it needs to be supplemented. In this study, through an understanding and analysis of the FAA's procedure of expeirmental special airworthiness certifications for UAS, we would like to suggest what we should consider when developing relevant guidelines in our country.

With increasing interest in aviation leisure sports, the demand for ultralight aircraft has increased, highlighting the necessity for robust structural design of the aircraft. In response, this study conducted static structural analysis and free-fall analysis of fuselage frame of ultralight aircraft. Robust design and crashworthiness under operational load conditions and vertical impact scenarios were evaluated by assessing maximum stress and safety factors. Analyses were performed using finite element method-based software ANSYS Workbench. Results including stress distribution and strain were analyzed to verify the safety of the designed fuselage frame. Additionally, this study predicted excessive deformation and failure locations of the fuselage frame during vertical drop impacts.
