In an effort to decrease aviation accident worldwide, development of aviation safety management has been sought through aviation index and standardization, both by establishing SMS(Safety Management System). It also needs to be done in the domestic. both study on SMS which ICAO recommends and setting the top priority safety goal, each differently classified by nations. Accordingly, defining safety index and developing continuous monitoring approach. Aircraft accident reporting system in Air Force does not operate in a open approach method due to its uniqueness related to mission achievement. Therefore, limits of utilizing the recent worldwide aircraft data sharing and analyzing results to prevent accident is inevitable. This paper introduces an overview of ECCAIRS 5 which become the standard for the recent worldwide aviation safety reporting and data exchange system. Also using ECCAIRS 5, aircraft accident cases of the Air Force are classified such as accident type, year, month, occurrence category, and flight phase. The result of the study will provide a guide line for utilizing the civil system in prevention of future military aviation accidents.

The importance of a systematic approach to collect, process, analyze, and share safety data in aviation safety management is continuously increasing. Accordingly, the domestic aviation industry has been making efforts to build a Big-data platform that can utilize multi-field safety data generated and managed by various stakeholders and to develop safety management technology based on them. Big data platforms not only must meet appropriate technical requirements, but also need to establish a management system for effective operation. The purpose of this study is to suggest the requirements of the aviation safety big data platform operation procedure and plan by reviewing the advanced overseas cases (FAA ASIAS). This study can provide overall framework and managerial direction for the operation of the aviation safety big data platform.

Domestic and foreign aviation industries showed steep growth along with rapid increase in aviation demand, but the industries got directly hit by COVID-19. Now, with the recovery of daily life, aviation demand is gradually increasing, too. However, the risk of aviation accidents also increases proportionally to the increasing demand for aviation. Although it is a point that safety management needs to be actively conducted to prevent safety accidents resulted from the growth of aviation industries, research on safety culture and organizations is not sufficiently done in terms of the depth and scope of it despite the importance of the discussion. Studies in various areas have reported that an organization's safety culture forms the group's safety atmosphere and then results in the workers' safety behavior. Accordingly, this study examined the effects of safety culture in an organization on the safety behavior of its members who are aircraft maintenance technicians. The results of this research can be summed up as follows: first, it has been found that the roles of the person in charge grounded on clear goals and guidelines for the organization's safety policy influence the technicians' attitudes. Second, the important factor in the technicians' safety observance is that the attitude to follow safety rules when performing aviation maintenance raises their awareness of safety, for instance, following standard operation procedures or wearing personal equipment for protection. Third, their attitudes have positive effects on safety participation, and consequently, their intention to comply with safety rules is shown as an active action to achieve the ultimate goal of safety behavior.

To manage State Safety Program (SSP) in a more integrative and proactive manner, an aviation safety authority of the state shall detect and assess the risk of emerging or hidden safety hazards before they provoke accidents or incidents(ICAO, 2018). In case of South Korea, safety risk assessment is conducted by calculating the likelihood and severity of the hazard following ICAO's safety management manual. It is reasonable to extract the safety risk likelihood by calculating the number of occurrence caused by the hazard. However, it is ambiguous to assess the safety risk severity defined as the extent of harm that might be expected to occur as a consequence of the identified hazard. In this paper, a safety risk assessment method which quantitatively calculates the risk of hazard using aviation safety data(i.e. aviation safety mandatory report, etc.) is proposed. By utilizing the proposed method, the existing process that safety risk is being subjectively assessed by safety inspectors can be supplemented. So that essential aviation safety policy decision making can be accomplished by the accurate result of safety risk assessment.

This study is to review the problem concerned with aviation safety in Korea and suggest the solution to secure the aviation safety, in respect of regulation. At first, the definition and characteristics of aviation safety are studied, and then the endeavor for the aviation safety of ICAO and FAA are reviewed. All the fields of aviation safety area are included in the scope of this study; airworthiness in aircraft production and maintenance, flight operation, airport operation and air traffic control. The level of safety can be estimated by the frequency of accidents and seriousness. The causes of air accidents can be summarized as five factors; human factor, traffic environment. aircraft, weather, and unexpected incident. The activities to protect accidents are also can be summarized as five areas; man, machine, medium, mission and management. ICAO established the standards and recommends for the aviation safety, and adopted strategic action plan for 21st century. Federal Aviation Administration of USA also contributes for the aviation safety of world wide. Nowadays, ICAO and FAA tries to coordinate each other to set up efficient and effective ways for the aviation safety. ICAO developed safety oversight manual and FAA developed model regulations, individually. However, there has been trials to merge the results of each institute's studies. The direction of this endeavor is to meet the new environment related to globalization of air transport industry. It is necessary for our government to improve the aviation safety regulation system to address the new wave of aviation safety system pursued by international organization. A systematic and comprehensive measure should be devised by cooperation of all the related field and area.

Aviation Maintenance Technician(AMT)'s error is not directly link to deficiency which is differ to flight crew's error and it potentially maintains. Due to it usually occur as undesired aircraft state, hazards, like unreported maintenance error or near miss fortunately undetected and are not develop to accident. This could be a crucial influence of an accident occurrence. To remove these hazards, just safety culture should be support that anyone can report about safety problems and person who reported safety problems and hazards like near miss, should not get disadvantages. Also if it is satisfied, they must exempt for punishment and guaranteed for security. Hence, on this study, aviation maintenance site's just culture need to be researched and analysed about improvement for aviation maintenance field's positive just culture.

The air traffic industry, one of Korea's major industries, has recently experienced increased demand from overseas air passengers, launched a low-cost airline, and increased special freight transportation capacity. These initiatives have had a positive impact on air traffic (for example, profitability); however, air traffic management has become more complex, which has increased the incidence of aviation accidents and created safety hazards. There is an increasing need to collect and analyze aviation data that can proactively respond to aviation accidents. Concatenation of collected aviation data as big data and the development of artificial intelligence technology are gradually expanding aviation safety event analysis from conventional statistical analysis to machine learning-based analysis. This paper surveys the trends of flight safety event analysis to derive aviation safety risk factors by looking at the types and characteristics of aviation data that can be used to predict accidents related to safety in aviation operations.

Aviation safety requires systematic national attention and management because aircraft accident produce greater undesired social impact, economical damage, and declining national credibility compare to other transportation accident. Specially, Republic of Korea has highly increased risk of air accident as a major air transportation point having small aerospace, connecting pacific ocean and Asia, and explosively increased air traffic produced by economical growth, operating numerous military aircraft for the South and North Koreas' confrontational situation. Also, greatly increased domestic and oversea air travels by Koreans and foreigners as well as air freight based on heightened Korea's national power, launching new low cost carriers, and popularized leasure aviation have produced large amount of aviation needs in various fields. However, national aviation safety management system gratifying increased aviation needs and aircraft operations is seem to be slow in progress. This paper will show optimized measures utilizing private, governmental, and military resources to prevent aircraft accident under circumstances of limited budget and an favorable conditions, then will propose several action items.
