항공전자부품은 항공기의 핵심기능 분야를 구성하는 부품으로서 개발 및 제작 단계에서 안전성 및 신뢰성 평가를 수행하여야 하며 개발한 항공전자부품을 항공기에 창착하기 위해서는 감항기준에 의거한 적합성을 검증 받아야 한다. 미국 연방항공청에서 고시하고 있는 기술표준품(TAO) 중 항공전자부품은 약 65%를 차지하고 있으며 TSO로 지정되지 않은 PMA 부품 등을 고려하며 부품의 종류 및 량은 상당수에 이르고 있다. 최근의 항공전자부품은 디지털화의 가속화로 비행안전기능이 보강되고 조종사의 업무강도를 줄이는 방향으로 발전되어 가고 있다. 그리고 이러한 분야에는 소프트웨어가 채용되어 소프트웨어의 인증이라는 인증절차가 개발되고 있다. 이 글은 국산 항공전자부품의 개발에 앞서 항공전자부품의 인증 내역을 제시함으로서 국내 독자적인 인증 수행은 물론 설계 참여자들이 인증에 대한 인식이 될 수 있도록 하였고 내용적으로는 미연방항공청(FAA)과 유럽공동감항기구(JAA)의 절차를 중심으로 작성하였다.

Currently, the domestic UAS technology is lagging behind the leading countries in terms of both advanced technology and industrial competitiveness, but it cannot avoid the global efforts of integrating UAS into existing manned aviation system and applying them to industries. UAS is a relatively new system to existing aviation world, but ICAO is making a great effort to help Contracting States and the aviation industries to better understand and promote UAV systems. In particular, the UAS is classified as RPAS and other UAS, leading to the standardization work for integrating the RPAS into the manned aviation in the near future. For this purpose, ICAO has been promoting the standardization for the global operation of the RPAS, and in this study, it has been carrying out the study on the strategy to establish the domestic RPAS certification system including the ICAO standardization activities. This paper analyzes the domestic and international regulatory frameworks for RPAS and presents a strategy for building the domestic RPAS certification system.

RTCA DO-178C is a development guideline to ensure aircraft system airworthiness. However, there is an opinion that the application of DO-178C to the development of UAV of more than MTOW 150 kg is over regulated because the severity of the risk from UAV is lower than that of normal aircraft. To address issue, EASA and FAA have been working on the Re-Engineering and Streamlining the Standards for Avionics Certification(RESSAC) project since 2016 with the goal of establishing a new certification scheme that simplifies existing aircraft certification procedures and standards. This paper analyzes the current DO-178C certification process and presents advantages by comparing and analyzing the new RESSAC certification process, which simplifies processes and outputs in comparing with the DO-178C certification process, while it ensures flight safety of the vehicle.

Composite materials used in aircraft must be certified using approved materials to ensure the the airworthiness of the aircraft. Certification is carried out by verifying the physical properties and processes of the materials, and producing material and process specifications. The composite material certification system in ROK(Republic of Korea) has been established through the MOLIT(Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport) pilot certification project for aircraft composite materials. Currently, the KIAST(Korea Institute of Aviation Safety Technology) operates and manages the certification and shared data system. This study identifies realm for improvement in the established certification system for aircraft composite materials based on empirical evidence and aims to propose measures for the certification and industrial promotion of domestically produced aircraft composite materials.

Certification by Civil Aviation Law is necessary for aircraft parts and appliances as well as aircraft, engines, and propellers to ensure safety and reliability in operation. Advanced countries in aerospace industry as like U.S.A require Parts Manufacturer Approval for aircraft parts and Technical Standard Order Authorization for designated appliances. However, there are no legal requirements for certification of aircraft parts and appliances in Korea until now. This study presents the draft to revise Civil Aviation Law, which is applicable to set up domestic certification system and maintain it equivalent to U.S. Federal Aviation Regulation.

An Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) is a small gas turbine engine that is mounted on an aircraft and serves to supply energy for ground and air starting of the main engine. APU also supplies emergency and auxiliary power for the aircraft. APU for aircraft is simple and compact in structure, but because it is mounted on manned aircraft, high reliability is required, so it must be proved its reliability through qualification procedure. The Korea Aerospace Research Institute and Hanwha Techwin successfully completed the design / analysis, fabrication, assembly, development test and certification test of APU for helicopter based on accumulated domestic R & D capability and experience from 2007 to 2012. In this paper, the development and certification process of auxiliary power unit for helicopter is summarized.

The DO-178C guide, which is referenced as the software development guide when a certification of the airworthiness in the commercial airplane is acquired by FAA in US, is recently referenced for the local military aircraft airworthiness. This indicates that when the auditor of the military aircraft airworthiness looks over the software development documents, the auditor reviews if all of the documents are verified in accordance with the DO-178C guide. However, when we developed the military aircraft intercom, We developed its control software in accordance with the CMMI level 3, since there were no requirements for the compliance of the DO-178C guide. Therefore, When we consider the airworthiness of this intercomm system, The analysis for how much the software development based on the CMMI level 3 is different from the DO-178C guide is needed to prepare the essential software documents additionally. Thus, This study analyzes the differences between CMMI level 3 and DO-178C guide and provides that which data on the CMMI level 3 is necessary for the compliance of the aircraft airworthiness comparing with the DO-178C. The analyzed result can be applied at the software development of the other military aircraft avionics equipment based on the CMMI model environment considering the compliance of the military aircraft airworthiness.

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.
