Recently, despite of the development of aviation safety, there has not been any significant decline of the aviation accident rate. Therefore, in the international society, it is more focused on removing risk factors based on data collected and analyzed, in order to improve the aviation safety. This research introduces ECCAIRS, which is a program developed by European Union to collect and analyze data regarding risk factors. This is used in Korea since 2010. Moreover, using national aviation accident data collected through ECCAIRS, this research analyzes the distribution of the aviation accidents/incidents, annual and monthly aviation accident rate, flight phase, and division system. The analyzation regarding the tendency of aviation accident/incident will give the direction to approach the quantitative safety management.

Recently, in an effort to decrease aviation accident worldwide, there has not been any significant decline of the aviation accident rate. Therefore, in the international society, it is more focused on removing risk factors based on data collected and analyzed, in order to improve the aviation safety. This paper introduces on the characteristic of ECCAIRS 5 which become the standard for the worldwide aviation safety reporting and data exchange system. Also, using domestic aviation accident data collected during last 10 years(from 2003 to 2012), we analyze the distribution of the aviation accidents/incidents, annual and monthly aviation accident rate, flight phase, and occurrence category according aircraft type(Fixed/Rotary wing). The analyzation regarding the tendency of aviation accident/serious incident will give the direction to approach the quantitative safety management.

항공산업의 초창기에는 항공기 안전사고의 대부분이 기술결함으로 인하여 발생하였다. 그러나 항공기술의 발달로 인한 첨단화, 정밀화되면서 기술결함에 의한 사고는 대폭 감소하였지만 인적요인에 의한 사고는 일정한 수준 감소 이후 꾸준하게 유지하고 있다. ICAO따르면 인적요인의 70~80%가 재발 가능성이 존재하며 독자적인 원인이 아닌 위험요소의 복합적작용으로 발생한다고 기술하고 있다. 이를 방지하기 ICAO에서는 항공안전을 위협하는 사고(ACCIDENTS), 준사고(Serious INCIDENTS), 항공안전장애(HINDRANCES)등의 데이터를 수집, 공유, 분석을 통해 항공안전 위해요소를 사전에 제거, 차단할 수 있는 사전예방 시스템의 수립을 권고하고 있으며 이를 위해 국제사회를 중심으로 의무보고제도, 자율보고제도 등이 활발하게 운영되고 있다. 그러나 국내의 경우 운영시스템의 체계화 및 정부, 관련부처의 노력에도 불구하고 일부보고제도만이 정착되어있고 자율보고제도는 사회적 환경, 문화적 요건의 차이 등으로 인하여 활발하게 운영되지 못하고 있다. 따라서 국내 외 안전자율보고제도의 동향을 바탕으로 해당제도의 효율적인 정착 방안을 모색할 필요가 있을 것이다.

최근 항공산업은 항공 기술과 운항환경의 발달로 상당히 안전화되었으나, 인적요인(Human Factor)에 의한 사고 및 준 사고는 계속 발생하고 있다. 따라서 조종사의 훈련은 항공안전을 위한 가장 중요한 과제이나 각국의 규정에서 정하는 훈련과 실제 필요한 훈련 사이에 간격이 있어, 이를 향상하기 위해서 역량기반훈련을 기반으로 한 부조종사 자격제도(Multi-Crew Pilot License, MPL), 증거기반훈련(Evidence Based Training, EBT), 향상된 자격프로그램(Advanced Qualification Programme, AQP)이 개발되었다. 항공 선진국의 항공사들은 기존의 법정 요구량 충족위주 훈련과 항목 중심의 획일적인(One size fits all) 훈련의 패러다임을 개선하여 국제민간항공기구(International Civil Aviation Organization, ICAO)와 국제항공운송협회(International Air Transport Association, IATA)에서 제시하는 데로 개인의 역량을 더 향상 시킬 수 있는 효율적인 훈련 프로그램을 실시하여 사고 유발 인적요인을 감소시키고 있다. 역량을 중심으로 하는 조종사 훈련은 변화하는 복잡한 환경에서 예상하지 못한 위협이 발생하였을 때, 조종사들이 적절히 대처 할 수 있는 레질리언트 크루(Resilient Crew)를 양성하는 데 효과적이다.

Pilots are indispensable and central to the aviation industry, with the relevance of their psychological stress and resultant human errors increasingly recognized as critical. This study aims to meticulously explore the interrelations between psychological stressors and associated factors among helicopter pilots, assessing the consequent effects on potential accidents and incidents. The study comprised active pilots from domestic helicopter airlines, with data collated through both focus group interviews (FGI) and comprehensive surveys. These data were subsequently analyzed using SPSS and AMOS for structural equation modeling. The results reveal that heightened psychological stress in helicopter pilots correlates with an increased incidence of human errors, which in turn, elevates the likelihood of potential safety incidents. Based on these findings, it is proposed that interventions designed to mitigate psychological stress among pilots could significantly reduce human errors and enhance overall aviation safety. This research provides crucial insights into specific ways to improve the operational conditions for helicopter pilots and strengthen the safety protocols within the aviation industry.

The first successful sustained powered flight by Wright Brothers was further extended to the rapid development of aviation technology, that led to transpacific flights, the invention of supersonic planes, and enabled hundreds of people to travel in the space, in addition to the fact that around 10 people had stepped on the moon, all of which were made possible within the very same century. However, on the back side of this most wondrous human technology, the vulnerableness to the aviation accident has been constantly accompanied with, right from the very beginning stage of the aircraft development. Moreover, the development of future aircraft is being focused on the aircraft performance, the increment of the number of passengers aboard and also its speed. In proportion to these phenomena of mega sizing the aircraft, the development of new technology and the increment of air traffic volume, the number of aviation accident is expected to augment, resulting in the enormous loss of human lives and properties. In order to prevent the disastrous aviation accident as such, it is essential to conduct the accident investigation in a specialized, systematic and scientific manner. In search for the method to attain the effective function of the aviation accident investigation organization, in this study, issues were examined as follows: The full-time Board Members and the establishment of an integrated investigation agency, The systematized security of status as an accident investigator, Inclusion of a human factors specialist in the investigator group organization, liability limit of an accident investigator Stipulation of the definition and the investigation scope of an accident and serious incident, along with the main body of conducting the investigation into the accident involving both civil and public aircraft, in the regulations related to the accident investigation.

The international community has done a lot of effort to improve the aviation safety. The new high technologies, systems and development of navigation equipments considerably improved the level of aviation safety. However, the aviation accident rate has been showing unchanged status without the decline since 1980. It means it is difficult to secure enough safety by the existing efforts to improve the aviation safety, eventually needs new methods for the accident prevention. With this in mind, the nations interest new methods that can consider a countermeasure by realizing potential risk factors before fatal accidents. In other words, that is to analyze and share the safety information collected from accidents by establishing aviation safety information system. To establish international aviation safety information system, each country's aviation accident incident reporting systems are need to be established. Also aviation safety data taxonomy is need to be standardized. Then, aviation users will communicate the information efficiently. This study investigates and considers each country's aviation accident incident database taxonomy for the analysis of the aviation data and the necessary prevention activity. This will contribute to a better international aviation safety and strengthen the country's aviation diplomacy.

항공기의 이륙단념(Rejected Takeoff) 사고는 흔히 발생하지는 않지만, 발생하면 큰 사고로 이어지는 경우가 대부분이다. 제트기에 의한 운송서비스가 본격적으로 시작된 1959년부터 2000년 까지의 이륙단념 사고사례를 조사해 본 결과 총 94건이 발생했다. 사고사례 모두가 활주로 이탈로 이어졌고, 그 주요 원인은 이륙결심 속도를 넘어서 조작을 시작했기 때문이라고 미국교통안전위원회(NTSB)에서 발표하였다. 이런 결과는 미국 항공우주국(NASA)의 준사고보고제도(ASRS)에서 조사한 자료에도 비슷한 결과가 나온 바 있다. 따라서 항공기 운항의 기준이 되는 항공기 비행규정(Airplane Flight Manual)을 만들 때 적용하는 미국연방항공법(FAR)상의 이륙단념 전환시간이 국내 현장조종사에서도 적합한 지에 관해 연구하였다.

This study analyzes the influential factors and patterns associated with death from aircraft accidents and incidents using data mining techniques. To this end, we used two datasets for aircraft accidents and incidents, one from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the other from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). We developed our prediction models using the decision tree classifier to predict death from aircraft accidents or aircraft incidents and thereby derive the main cause factors and patterns that can cause death based on these prediction models. In the NTSB data, deaths occurred frequently when the aircraft was destroyed or people were performing dangerous missions or maneuver. In the FAA data, deaths were mainly caused by pilots who were less skilled or less qualified when their aircraft were partially destroyed. Several death-related patterns were also found for parachute jumping and aircraft ascending and descending phases. Using the derived patterns, we proposed helpful strategies to prevent death from the aircraft accidents or incidents.
