Helicopter accidents due to spatial disorientation in low visibility conditions continue to persist as a major issue. These incidents often stem from human error, typically induced by stress, and frequently result in fatal outcomes. This study employs machine learning to analyze flight data and evaluate the efficacy of a flight illusion detection algorithm, laying groundwork for further research. This study collected flight data from approximately 20 pilots using a simulated flight training device to construct a range of flight scenarios. These scenarios included three stages of flight: ascending, level, and descent, and were further categorized into good visibility conditions and 0-mile visibility conditions. The aim was to investigate the occurrence of flight illusions under these conditions. From the extracted data, we obtained a total of 54,000 time-series data points, sampled five times per second. These were then analyzed using a machine learning approach.

This study is a study to analyze the stress difference of pilots according to the category of aircraft. According to previous studies, pilot stress is affected by several factors such as flight time, fatigue regulation, and operating environment, and it is known that stress also affects cardiac variability. In this paper, we analyzed that there is a difference in stress according to the operating environment through airline pilots and pilots of educational institutions, and then tested the difference in stress between airplane pilots and helicopter pilots. This study differs in that it is a study that has almost no empirical research on pilot fatigue and stress considering the role of flight crew members and operational conditions for each mission. If we expand and verify the sample of the results for the stress difference in the future, it will be a great contribution to practical aviation safety research in connection with the fatigue risk management system in the future.

FLIR(Forward Looking Infrared) geo-pointing is a function that helps pilots to see a target within the field of view under all coordinates and attitudes of helicopter. Geo-pointing controls FLIR LOS(line of sight) toward known target coordinates by using azimuth and elevation angles calculated from several information such as helicopter coordinates and attitudes, a FLIR position from a GPS antenna, and target coordinates. Geo-pointing performance has been tested and evaluated on the ground to save flight test costs and ensure flight safety. In this paper, design and implementation of a geo-pointing system is described with the results of performance test conducted on the ground test system.

According to U.S. NTSB, accidents of scheduled airliners from 1989 to 1992 caused by the lack of SA consisted of approximately 80% of all aircraft accidents, which emphasized the importance of maintaining SA. Furthermore, all of the 27 domestic helicopter accidents between 1996 and 2005 were related with pilot SA and of these, 21 events were directly attributed to pilot errors. Therefore, SA is a matter of great importance to pilots. Following the pre-study of the relations between SA and pilot qualifications, the results of this study which deals with SA and pilot working careers show the statistical importance between those two factors.

According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport press release ('18.12.21.) The amendment of the Aviation Business Act will reduce the capital requirements for aviation leisure operators and make it easier to enter aviation leisure businesses by improving regulations on small air transportation business. In addition, as the scale of the UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) sector is expected to increase globally, the dramatic increase in low altitude operating aircraft, including this, must be taken into account. The low altitude aircraft category is divided into small airplanes, helicopters, light aircrafts and ultra-light aircrafts, and instructors include school instructor pilots and student pilots, military and national helicopter pilots, and aviation leisure operators. In case of low altitude aircraft, there are cases of canceling operations due to low visibility and low clouds, and aircraft accidents due to excessive operation and sudden weather phenomenon. Therefore, in order to prevent low-altitude aircraft accidents, a safe flight plan based on weather conditions and weather forecasts and more accurate and local weather forecasts and weather forecast data are needed to prepare for the rapidly changing weather conditions.

An accident during pilotage may cause several problems such as crippling the harbour function, environmental disruption, loss of life. Since the pilot plays an important role in the safe operation of the port, securing their safety is directly connected to the vessel's safety coming into port in Korea. Pilotage service is offered on request without distinction of day and night. And traveling by helicopter and boarding/disembarking using a pilot ladder from and to a pilot boat have a high risk of falling into the sea. So, pilots can fall into the sea while boarding/disembarking from ship which can lead to serious injury by cardiac arrest. A number of pilots have died or severely injured due to fall from the pilot ladder during embarkation and disembarkation up to now. Current safety measures at embarkation and disembarkation required by pilotage act and IMO resolutions could not prevent all the pilot related accidents. Therefore, to prevent pilot accident during boarding/disembarking from ship, it is necessary to include safety training requirement for new pilots under the requirements for licensing of pilotage act. It is also necessary to compel pilots to take necessary personal protective equipment when they use a pilot ladder. In addition, the placement of emergency kit on pilot boats and first-aid training are required in order to deal with emergency situation promptly.

항공기에 의한 산불공중진화는 지상진화 보다 진화의 효과성이 좋다. 따라서 공중진화는 산불의 대형화를 방지하는데 중요하다. 미국에서는 고정익항공기 및 회전익항공기(헬리콥터)가 합동으로 공중진화를 하나 우리나라는 회전익항공기만을 이용하고 있다. 따라서 헬리콥터에 의한 공중진화의 효과성에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 공중진화의 효과성은 투하되는 물의 분포형태와 범위에 따라서 결정된다. 따라서 본 연구는 산림청에서 운용하는 S-64E, Ka-32T, AS350B2의 3개 기종으로 물투하 실험을 실시하여 유효 분포형태와 범위를 도출하였다. 이 연구 결과로 조종사들이 공중진화의 효과성을 증대시키는데 기여하고자 한다.

Compared with past, helicopters have remarkably high level of safety and accidents due to mechanical defects are decreased about 15%. Most of their duties, however, are to commit at duty area which is hard to access. Because of them, collision probability is high and also has relatively higher accident rates than other aircraft with special mission. A result of analysis is that accident rate is relative high with prevention of disasters, putting out a fire and crop-dusting missions under 500ft. In addition, most of accidents are related with human factors. According to this, it is required to pilots who carry these mission that safety education and detailed analysis about their mission.
