In this paper, the aircraft route scheduling consists of two steps; the pairing generation and the aircraft assignment. The pairing generation is heuristic approach how flights construct pairings from and to the main base. The aircraft resource assignment which is to establish a aircraft route schedule is constructed by constraint satisfaction problem technique. ILOG solver and schedule is used to solve this problem. In addition, a aircraft route reschedule process against departure-arrival delay or aircraft maintenance schedule change is added by partial constraints satisfaction problem technique. Also, Gantt chart made by ILOG views is used to show aircraft route schedule results more easily.

With the exception of some large domestic airlines with adequate maintenance capability, most low-cost and small airlines do not have the facilities, equipment/tools, or manpower to perform periodic inspections over "C check." They are repaired according to maintenance programs specified by manufacturers. The outsourcing (domestic or overseas) of maintenance contracts is thus crucial to achieve good quality service at low cost, and these contracts therefore need to be signed with a full understanding of what is to be expected. This study aims to determine the requirements to be considered prior to finalizing such contracts.

본 논문에서는 항공기 정비 분야에서 paperwork와 현장-사무실의 구분된 작업에 Mobile device를 적용하여 직접적인 부품의 입/출고, 정비작업을 제외한 부분에서 인적오류 및 낭비가 발생하여 항공기의 AOG(Aircraft On Ground)가 길어짐에 따라 항공기를 사용하지 못하는 시간적 손해를 제거하여 정비 작업의 효율성을 높이는 방법을 제시하였다. QR code와 RFID, Tablet PC를 작업 대상 부품의 확인과 현장중심의 업무처리에 사용하였으며, 실시간으로 정비 진행 현황을 확인 할 수 있는 방법을 제시한 것이 본 연구의 특징이다. Arena 10.0으로 시뮬레이션을 구현하였고, 실제 자재보관창고와 hangar의 작업자와의 인터뷰를 통해 문제점 및 연구사항을 정의하였으며, 항공기 부품 중 바퀴를 대상으로 작업시간의 변화를 비교하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 작업시간은 바퀴 한 개당 35.31분이 감소하였으며, 필요 작업 인원도 20%가 감소하였고, 정비 현장의 paperless를 달성하였다.

Aging wiring in buildings, aircraft and transportation systems, consumer products, industrial machinery, etc. is among the most significant potential causes of catastrophic failure and maintenance cost in these structures. Smart wire health monitoring can therefore have a substantial impact on the overall health monitoring of the system. Reflectometry is commonly used for locating faults on wire and cables. This paper compares Time domain reflectometry (TDR), frequency domain reflectometry (FDR), mixed signal reflectometry (MSR), sequence time domain reflectometry (STDR), spread spectrum time domain reflectometry (SSTDR) and capacitance sensors in terms of their accuracy, convenience, cost, size, and ease of use. Advantages and limitations of each method are outlined and evaluated for several types of aircraft cables. The results in this paper can be extrapolated to other types of wire and cable systems.

The first Type Certificate project for small airplane is in progress in the Republic of Korea. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare the circumstances that the airplane developed and certificated by this country will exported to foreign countries and operated in the world. One of the main items to be prepared is the systems related with continuing airworthiness of aircraft during the operation. From this point of view, the systems and corresponding capabilities to maintain the aircraft to continue the flight and safe landing will be the immediate work. This study is to review the continuing airworthiness system established by foreign countries such as USA FAA and European EASA and to propose how we will setup our continuing airworthiness system for the airplane developed and certificated by the Republic of Korea.

A continuing challenge in the aviation industry is how to safely keep aircraft in service longer with limited maintenance budgets. Therefore, all the advanced countries in aircraft technologies put great efforts in prediction of failure rate in parts and system, but in the domestic aircraft industry is lack of theoretical and experimental research. Prediction of failure rate provides a rational basis for design decisions such as the choice of part quality levels and derating factors to be applied. For these reasons, analytic prediction of failure rate is essential process in developing aircraft structure. In this paper, a procedure for prediction of failure rate for aircraft structural parts is presented. Cargo door kinematic parts are taken to illustrate the process, in which the failure rate for Hook part is computed by using Monte Carlo Simulation along with Response Surface Model, and system failure rate is obtained afterwards.

New aircraft category such as Light Sport Aircraft is introduced to prevent Ultralight Vehicle accidents and to promote aviation sports. Therefore, a new rule for airworthiness standard, certification, operation and maintenance of light sport aircraft is being created. The present study deals with LSA concept, development trend of LSA, airworthiness standards and certification policy. In particular, an aircraft type analysis of FAA certified LSA is conducted to establish performance requirements of Light Sport Aircraft designs.

This paper deals with a procedure of changing the current inspection & replacement periods for ROKAF aircraft parts. ROKAF is mostly operating aircraft of foreign makes, and takes maintenance actions according to Technical Orders(TO.) published by foreign aircraft manufacturers. Therefore ROKAF inspects and replaces specific parts at the time noticed from T.O.. These inspection and replacement periods are determined by manufacturers according to the standard operating environment and parts' durability. But the standard operating environment Is different from operator's environment. Because of this difference, the inspection and replacement periods have to be changed according to operators' operation environment. It is resonable that the manufacturer, having design materials and life test data of parts, changes those periods together with materials of operators' operation environment. But we have many difficulties in obtaining the design materials and life test data. Then this paper proposes a procedure of changing the periods of aircraft's parts with life data obtained during operating aircraft. For the reliability analysis, a software of RELEST (Reliability Estimation Version 1.0) is used.

To comply to demand for a development requirement of aircraft design part, the expert system builds up standard knowledge-base based on presently maintained expert knowledge and experience in aircraft structure material selection. It also builds up database based on aircraft design open data, and standard calculation module used for present design and analysis method. This system is developed using Visual Basic language. The expert system standardize aircraft structure material selection and can be applied to all type of elementary stage of aircraft structure design. It is working on Windows, which has a friendly interface and is convenient for debugging, maintenance and transplanting. Explanation of the structure and the function of the system was given in this paper.
