Aircraft parts are considered as a significant element for the continued airworthiness of the certified aircraft well as a partial component consisting of the new aircraft design. US FAA established the certification system of Parts Manufacturer Approval in 1965, which is contributing to the continued airworthiness of the aircraft in operation and to the expansion of worldwide market of aircraft parts. In this paper, we compared the differences of the certification systems between FAA Parts Manufacturer Approval and EASA European Part Approval, and proposed the rulemaking items to improve Korean Parts Manufacturer Certification System and to contribute to growth of aircraft parts industry.

In conjunction with the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the unmanned aerial vehicle industry is being developed to a new paradigm by combining advanced technologies such as AI, Big Data and the IoT. Aeronautical developed countries such as the U.S. are focusing their efforts on the development of the safer unmanned aerial vehicles. The Korea Aerospace Research Institute, as part of the national R&D project in 2011, had succeeded in developing the first vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) UAS, called Smart-UAV. However, although the development technology of the VTOL UAS is possessed, developing and operating of the VTOL UAS for commercial or military use are limited. The type certification procedure of the VTOL UAS developed by domestic technology is stipulated in the Korean Aviation Safety Act, but the Korean VTOL UAS airworthiness standards (KAS) hsve not been established. Thus, this study investigated the development trends of the VTOL UAS in Korea and abroad and national certification systems and procedures, and benchmarked the special conditions for the VTOL aircraft, announced by the EASA on July 2, 2019, to establish standards for type certificate of the VTOL UAS in Korea.

Airworthiness certification is critical, in ensuring the flight safety of military aircraft for development tests and production operations. The MIL-HDBK-516C, latest airworthiness certification document, handles the field of flying qualities in Chapter 6 (flight technology), and refers to specific chapters of MIL-STD-1797B, which is the specification document for developing military aircraft. Since the MIL-STD-1797B released in 2006 by the U.S. Department of Defense is not disclosed to other countries, the Chapter 6 (flight technology) of MIL-HDBK-516B Expanded, the former certification standards pursuant to flying qualities, has to be applied to military aircraft being developed in the Republic of Korea. However the requirements of Chapter 6 of MIL-HDBK-516B Expanded comprise unclear sentences, because of contents from various development specifications. Also, clarification is needed in that the same requirements have to be verified in different criteria. In this paper, the results of this study present an effective verification method, for acquiring the airworthiness certification in field of flying qualities based on MIL-HDBK-516B Expanded.

Airworthiness certification is a government certification for the military aircraft to safely attain, sustain and terminate flight and It is a mandatory process of qualifying the flight safety within the operational boundaries of a military aircraft. To save the manhour, time and cost for applying all the airworthiness certification criteria to the aircraft equipped with flight control switching mechanism development program, an identification of the risk and systematic assessment of risk is analysed. Airworthiness redesign actions so called software switching mechanism for the modified aircraft in the flight technology and electric system area are suggested to reduce the risk hazard index.

Seaworthiness is an important part of the carrier's obligation in the carriage of goods by sea. Especially seaworthiness of the ship is one of the most important obligations of the carrier in the field of international transport law. Therefore it will be important to examine the expected impacts by adopting a continuing duty of seaworthiness in UNCITRAL Draft Instrument from the Korea point of view because Korean Commercial Act provides that carriers are only obliged to exercise due diligence to make the ship seaworthy before and at the beginning of the voyage. This paper examines the concept of the seaworthiness and analyses the provisions of the Draft Instrument for the duty of seaworthiness in comparison with the Korean Commercial Act.

기술의 발전에 따라 첨단무기체계인 군용항공기는 전투임무 수행시 내장형소프트웨어(Embedded Software)를 통해 기체내의 항공전자 장치, 항법장치, 조종장치 등의 물리적 기계적 움직임을 제어하고 있으며, 내장형 소프트웨어의 비율은 점점 증가하고 있다. 기체의 물리적 기계적 움직임이 내장형 소프트웨어에 의해 제어 되기 때문에 군용항공기의 전투능력 보존과 국방 목적의 수행을 위해선 먼저 내장형 소프트웨어 고유의 특성을 만족하고, 나아가 소프트웨어 안전성, 신뢰성, 보안성을 확보하는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 설계 단계에서 스케줄성에 대해 정형검증 하여, 내장형 소프트웨어의 실시간성, 결정성, 생존성을 보증하고, 이러한 과정을 통해 전체적인 소프트웨어 안전성, 신뢰성, 보안성을 향상시키는 방안을 연구하며, 추가로 2011년 발표된 항공 소프트웨어 표준인 DO-178C에서 요구하는 정형검증을 적용한 국내 감항인증 표준 제정의 확대방안을 연구한다.
