Abstract

There are various types of foreign object debris (FOD) in the aviation industry. Tools lost by workers can act as a risk factor throughout aircraft operation, manufacturing, and maintenance fields. Accidents caused by tools lost due to workers' carelessness continue to occur throughout the aviation industry. Aviation-related institutions such as FAA and EASA have established tool control regulations and systems to prevent FOD occurrence. However, in Korea, related regulations and procedures are insufficient. A systematic and effective tool control system is required for reliable manufacturing, airworthiness, operation, and maintenance of aircraft. In this paper, tool control regulations and procedures of domestic and foreign air traffic authorities and aviation industry-related organizations were studied. A wireless communication-based tool control system was proposed based on the NAS 412's tool control regulations certified by the National Standards Association.

항공업계의 외부 이물질(FOD)은 다양한 종류가 있으며 작업자가 분실한 공구는 항공기 제작, 운용, 정비 분야 전반에 걸쳐 위험 요소로 작용하고 있다. 작업자의 부주의에 의해 분실된 공구로 인한 사고는 항공산업 전반에 걸쳐 지속적으로 발생하고 있으며, FAA, EASA 등 항공 관련 기관에서는 FOD 발생 예방을 위해 공구 관리 규정을 제정하고 시스템을 구축하고 있다. 하지만, 국내의 경우 관련 규정 및 절차가 미흡한 수준이며, 항공기의 안정적인 제작 및 인증, 운용 및 정비를 위해서는 체계적이고 효과적인 공구 관리 시스템의 도입이 반드시 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 국내외 감항당국 및 항공산업 관련 단체의 공구 관리 규정 및 절차를 분석하고, 미국 국립 표준 협회를 통해 인증된 NAS 412의 Tool Control 규정을 바탕으로 국내 항공산업계 도입이 필요한 무선통신 기술 기반의 공구 관리 시스템을 제안하였다.
