Circling to land is a relatively dangerous maneuver. It contains the worst elements of IFR flight. There is a minimum obstruction clearance, a limited space in which to maneuver, an absence of visual reference, and trying to keep the runway in sight while preparing to land. At night it is quite a bit more than dangerous. The required continuous turn in marginal conditions that keeps the airport in sight is hazardous. Therefore, this paper proposes an application of GNSS to circling approach to reduce or remove chances of accidents which may occur under such unfavorable flight conditions. The study reviews relevant documents published by ICAO and FAA and provides scenarios for non-precision and precision approaches and circling approach based on the GNSS for Kimhae airport. Also requirements for the ground facility design are studied and provided.

A properly determined separation minima applied in Air Traffic Management(ATM) is critical for safe and efficient aircraft operations. The separation minima is primarily determined by the accuracy performance of surveillance system, and, due to the stringent aviation safety standard, the position accuracy of the surveillance system must be estimated with a high level of reliability. This study proposed a method for estimating the position accuracy of surveillance system with a relatively small amount of data by finding upper confidence limit instead of maximum likelihood values of unknown parameters. Through the proposed method, it is possible to determine a required separation minima with a more reliability in the face of data scarcity which often occurs when we implement a new surveillance system such as Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B).

It is often misled that Multi Pilot License is introduced by International Civil Aviation Organization for the shortage of pilots. The truth is, however, that the license is focused on efficient training of co-pilots in the airline transportation system which an autopilot system is increasing in the Multi Crew environment. ICAO has been researching on the license since 1982, and made it international standard on 2006. Currently, co-pilots trained under Multi-Crew Pilot License courses are continuously increasing over the world. Although the license has introduced to Korea in September 10, 2009, it has not won popular support yet. This paper will lead people to precise understanding of Multi-Crew Pilot License and suggest its introduction plan.

항공기 사이징은 항공기 설계에서 설계 및 임무 요구조건을 만족하기 위한 항공기의 무게를 계산하는 과정이다. 사이징 프로그램은 엔지니어가 기본적인 파라미터만 입력하면 내장된 코드에 의하여 자동적으로 사이징 과정을 수행하여 주는 프로그램을 말한다. 본 연구에서는 개발된 프로그램의 프로세스, 프로그램 구성을 설명하고 실행 예를 통하여 사용자가 편리하고 직관적으로 활용할 수 있는 사이징 프로그램을 개발하였다. 개발 된 프로그램은 사이징 과정에서 편리한 임무작성, 입력된 임무에 따른 임무형상 도시, 그리고 사이징 및 임무해석결과를 한눈에 확인할 수 있는 것이 특징이다.

In this work a guidance and control system for an a powered ram air parafoil under wind disturbance is considered. After analyzing a 6 Dof and 9 Dof nonlinear dynamic models of the parafoil, wind effect is added to them. In order to actively respond to the wind acting on the transverse direction of the vehicle a new guidance algorithm is proposed. After a Hardware-In-the-Loop Simulation (HILS) study, flight tests are performed to demonstrate its potential under wind disturbances.

This study is to analyze the performance for ADS-B(Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) operations by the Balanced Scorecard(BSC). It is also to collect the opinions of users(pilots, air traffic controllers and ground operators) relating ADS-B and to use the results as data about preparing political measures of aviation safety. For these purpose, BSC model redesigned on 4 different points of view is used for measuring the performance of the ADS-B operation. The proposed perspectives are affairs effectiveness, user orientation, system orientation and the capacity. As the results of this study, it is showed that the continuous development of ADS-B should be required and the users must be involved in the activities, additionally, the relevant authorities should try to be drawn the user-oriented results through the process.

This paper presents a tracking filter of radar beacon system (RBS) for automatic takeoff and landing of an unmanned aerial vehicle. The proposed tracking filter is designed as the decoupled tracking filter to reduce the computational burden. Also, an adaptive estimation method of the measurement error covariance is proposed to provide an improved tracking performance compared to the conventional decoupled tracking filter whenever the accuracy of RBS observations is degraded. 100 times Monte Carlo runs performed to analyze the performance of the proposed tracking filter in case of normal operation and degraded operations, respectively. The simulation results show that the proposed tracking filter provides the improved tracking accuracy in comparison with the conventional decoupled tracking filter.

Up-to-date cargo transport system, CVO(Commercial Vehicle Operations) is the system to manage efficiently cargo distribution as providing at real time the information of cargo location and situation through ITS and GPS technology. In this paper, we proposed the Gate Automation System of harbors among AEI/AVI. To implement his system, we use the DSRC/RFID(Dedicated Short Range Communication / Radio Frequency IDentification) which adopts an wireless communication between RSE(Road-side Equipment) and OBE(on-Board Equipment) on a vehicle. When constructing the Gate automation system of harbors, the business application ability are reviewed practically and the logistics facilities to be constructed in the near future may use this project results according to the international standard and it could help complete integrated logistics system.

In this paper, the optimal design of composite rotor blade cross-section is performed using a genetic algorithm. Skin thickness, torsion box thickness and skin lay-up angle are adopted as discrete design variables. The position and width of a torsion box are considered as continuous variables. An object function of optimal design is to minimize the mass of a rotor blade, and constraints are failure index, center mass, natural frequency and blade minimum mass per unit length. Finally, design variables such as the thickness and lay-up angles of a skin, and the thickness, position and width of a torsion box are determined by using an in-house program developed for the optimal design of rotor blade cross-section.

This paper seeks to investigate the effect of technology readiness on the usage of smart entry service. The questionnaires were distributed to passengers who were experience with smart entry service and structural equation modeling was utilized to analyze the data. The results revealed that optimism had a positive impact on perceived usefulness and insecurity had a negative effect on perceived enjoyment. Perceived ease of use had a positive impact on perceived enjoyment, perceived usefulness and intention to use. In addition, perceived usefulness had a positive impact on intention to use. The results from this paper can be used as basic knowledge for developing the smart entry service activation plan.
