Abstract

Most of the aerospace industries establish the SAE AS9100 Quality Management System, and acquire commercial certification by the 3rd party. Nevertheless, they repeatably have to cope with similar quality system evaluation by the airworthiness authority for the production certificate, parts manufacturer approval, and technical standard order authorization in accordance with the applicable regulations. The current quality system evaluation criteria of the airworthiness authority could be recommended for reforms in order to reduce duplication and correspond to the industrial development and environmental changes. In this paper, we propose measures to reform the authority's evaluation criteria through comparative analysis among the IAQG SAE AS9100, the FAA quality system codes, and the MOLIT ACSEP requirements.

세계 각국의 항공우주산업체는 SAE AS9100 품질경영시스템을 구축하고, 제3자에 의한 인증을 획득하여 제품 생산에 적용하고 있다. 그렇지만, 항공기에 대한 제작증명, 부품등제작자증명, 기술표준품 형식승인을 받기 위해서는 AS9100과 유사한 감항당국의 품질시스템 평가기준에 따라 법적인 평가를 다시 받아야 한다. 이러한 일부의 중복성을 배제하고, 산업 발전과 환경 변화에 대응할 수 있도록 생산승인 품질시스템 평가기준을 마련할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 국제항공우주품질그룹(IAQG)의 SAE AS9100 품질경영시스템, 미국 연방항공청(FAA)의 생산승인 품질시스템, 우리나라의 항공기 인증시스템 평가 프로그램(ACSEP) 요구조건을 비교 분석하고, 감항당국의 평가기준을 개선하는 방안을 제시하고자 한다.
