There have been CFIT(Controlled Flight Into Terrain) accidents that can be prevented if the crew executed go-around. This study is to analyse the common factors of three typical CFIT accidents of Korea in TEM(threat and error management) frame, and the examples of go-around gate and the countermeasures of eight airlines through the survey facilitating go-around to prevent CFIT. The common factors found in three typical CFIT accidents occurred in Korea or by Korean carriers turned out to be in mountainous terrain, in bad weather while in non-precision approach or circling approach by captain as PF(Pilot Flying) when crew make monitoring errors and communication errors. It also turned out that the crew in all three typical tragic CFIT accidents did not execute go-around in unstabilized approaches. The captains did not respond immediately when first officers advised them to go-around until it is too late. Seven out of eight Airlines answered that they use stabilized approach height as 1,000 feet to be stabilized earlier to have more safety margin by enhancing go-around gate regardless of the weather to prevent CFIT in the survey.

Low level wind shear, which often occurs at Jeju International Airport, is a phenomenon that occurs when the topological location and topographical characteristics of Jeju Island are combined with weather characteristics. Low level wind shears, which are caused by rapid changes in wind direction and wind speed, pose a threat to aircraft safety and also cause abnormal situations, such as aircraft go-around, diversion, and cancellation. Many meteorological studies have been conducted on weather patterns, occurrence periods and frequency of low level wind shears. However, researches related to aircraft operations are limited where here we study the similarities and differences between strong southwest winds and bidirectional tailwind type low level wind shears based on aircraft go-around cases at Jeju International Airport. The results are expected to be used to enhance safety when operating to Jeju International Airport, which includes pilot training that reflects the characteristics generated by wind changes, pilot prior notification, providing pilots with latest trends, and increasing extra fuel.

This research examined the influence of status and regulatory focus on go-around decision making. The result showed that there was no difference between captains and first offers on the go-around decision making about various landing situations. But there was significant relationships between regulatory focus and go-around decision making. Prevention focus was positively related with uncertain situation, and runway situation. Promotion focus has positive relationship with deficiency situation but has negartive relationship with runway situation.

Jeju International Airport is characterized by the occurrence of low-level windshear due to its location, surrounding terrain, and its weather characteristics. Especially the low-level windshear accompanied by tailwinds on both sides of the runway i.e., bidirectional tailwind, is a hazardous weather phenomenon with unique characteristics that are difficult to find at any other airports. This study focuses on bidirectional tailwind occurrence at Jeju International Airport in 2020-2021. As a result, characteristic pressure patterns of the types that cause bidirectional tailwind was identified as it was possible to categorize strong wind types such as 1) strong southwest wind, 2) strong east wind, and 3) strong northwest wind, which do not cause bidirectional tailwind, and wind direction variation types such as 4) bidirectional tailwind, and 5) south wind followed by southwest wind, which cause bidirectional tailwind. The results of this study are expected to contribute to improving aviation safety by enabling aviation operators to predict and take appropriate safety measures based on their understanding of the causes and characteristics of bidirectional tailwind.

IATA (International Air Transport Assosiation)의 운송용 항공기 사고 집계에 의하면, 사고 건의 61%가 비행의 접근 및 착륙단계에서 발생 되었으며, 이중 항공기의 불안정한 접근으로 인한 사고가 16%인 것으로 파악되었다. 이는 조종사의 불안정한 접근 및 수정 조작 미흡에 따른 복행을 시행하지 않고, 무리하게 접근을 지속하여 사고로 이어진 것으로 식별되었다. 불안정 접근의 원인으로는 공항의 접근 절차, 조종사의 실수, 잘못된 계획, 업무 부하 (workload), ATC (Air Traffic Control) 혼잡 등 다양하게 있을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 비행 데이터 분석 시스템을 활용하여, 불안정 접근 이벤트가 반복해서 발생하는 국내의 사례 공항과 기종을 선정하여, 주요 발생 이벤트, 공항 접근 절차, 조종사의 조작 뿐만이 아니라 공항의 기상, 지리적 여건 등 다양한 환경적 요인을 포함한 비행 데이터 분석을 통해 불안정 접근 이벤트의 경향성과 발생 원인 및 위험 요소를 식별하고 제거하여 불안정 접근 이벤트의 경감조치 및 항행 안전 증진 방안 마련의 시사점을 도출하고자 한다.

2013년 7월 아시아나 OZ 214편 샌프란시스코 국제공항 (SFO) 사고의 주요 원인은 조종사의 잘못된 접근 조작과 항공기 오토트로틀 홀드(autothrottle hold) 모드로 인해 자동 속도 컨트롤(control)이 불가함을 인지 못하였고, 복행 (go-around) 결심이 늦었다는 것이다. 이와 관련하여 B777 POM (pilot operation manual)에는 FAF (final approach fix) 후 FLCH (flight level change) 모드 사용을 제한하고 있다. 본 연구는 QAR (quick access recorder) 데이터 분석 시스템을 활용하여 국내 항공사의 B777 기종에서 2년간 발생한 44건의 해당 이벤트를 분석 한 결과, 정상 강하각 보다 높은 위치에서 조종사가 FLCH 모드를 이용하여 급하게 강하하는 과정에서 해당 이벤트들이 주로 발생하였으며, 항공기 베이스 선회 (base Turn) 시 정상 수직 경로(vertical path)보다 낮은 상태에서도 FLCH 모드를 지속 사용한 예도 있었다. 아울러 공항의 표고가 500 ft 이상의 높은 공항에서 이벤트 발생율이 높은 점을 확인하였다. 이에 본연구에서는 항공기 접근 시의 강하 계획(descent planning), 수직 경로(vertical path) 모니터링의 중요성과 자동항법장치 사용 기준 및 안정 접근 항목(stabilized approach criteria)의 준수로 이벤트 경감방안 마련의 시사점을 도출하고자 한다.
