Abstract

The significance of pilots' fatigue and the attributed risk management had continuously increased over time as the airline industry expanded. Research and legislation efforts associated with pilot fatigue are being taking place actively all over the world. In the developed world such as the United States and European Union etc., the airline pilot fatigue is already being managed by considering the show up time, the number of take offs and landings made, resting period, jet lag etc., when computing flight duty time. In Korea, the flight duty time is only limited by the total number of hours per given period regardless of the flight conditions and environment. Such lack of regulation demand development of a fatigue management program. According to the survey taken from the airline pilots in Korea, it has been found that acquiring foreign policies directly may in turn, increase the risk of fatigue. This research suggest future studies regarding fatigue management program adapted exclusively to Korean domestic flight environment and culture.

항공산업의 발전에 따라 국제적으로 운항승무원의 피로 위험 관리에 대한 중요성은 증가하고 있으며, 이와 관련한 피로도 연구와 법 제정은 전 세계적으로 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 이미 미국, 유럽 등의 비행 선진국은 비행시간과 비행근무시간 규정을 운항 승무원의 출두 시간, 이착륙 횟수, 휴식시간, 시차적응상태 등의 비행 환경을 반영한 최대 비행근무시간을 유연하게 적용 운항승무원의 피로도를 관리하고 있다. 국내의 경우는 운항승무원의 비행 환경 및 비행 조건을 반영하지 않은 연속되는 일간, 월간, 연간 기준으로 최대 비행근무시간을 정하는 획일적인 방식을 적용하고 있는 실정으로, 피로 위험관리시스템의 개선이 필요한 시점이다. 하지만 선진 해외항공사 위주로 개발된 피로도 관련 법과 규정을 국내의 비행 환경을 고려하지 않고 적용할 시 부작용이 있을 수 있다. 본연구의 국내 운항승무원 피로도 관련 설문 조사 결과에 의하면, 이미 해외에서 적용하고 있는 최대 비행시간 규정을 수정 없이 그대로 국내에 도입 및 적용하는 경우, 오히려 국내 운항승무원의 피로도는 증가할 수 있다는 시사점을 도출하였다. 이에 국내의 비행 환경과 문화에 적합한 한국형 비행근무시간 제한에 관한 연구의 필요성을 제안하고자 한다.
