In this paper, the activities of North America to enhance the flight safety of helicopter were introduced. In North America, by 2009, 49% of worldwide civil helicopters are in operation. The development trends of North America to enhance the flight safety of helicopter are expected to have a significant impact to the other helicopter operating areas. The analysis of the case of Gulf of Mexico where large fleet of Helicopter in operations, FAA's NextGen program, and the Canadian plan to comply with the ICAO's Aviation System Block Upgrades plan shows the direction of helicopter avionic development for enhancing the flight safety of helicopter.

Not only in Korea, but also in other countries, most helicopter accidents occur at low altitude. Analysis on accidents data collected both in Korea and other countries has brought two conclusions. Firstly, helicopter operations during the night hours carries a high risk. Secondly, the most common cause of night hour operations is loss of control due to the flight illusion. As an operation relying on a night vision in particular has a very high accident hazard, accompanying instruments such as NVG are ought to be provided. Hence, a thorough preparation and inspection on missions for night forest fire extinguishing should be required and perfect guidelines/road maps and enough training programs for the operation should be provided before the engagement in missions.

In this paper, We explain the development of helicopter avation information system which provides the current location and other pre-saved informations in order to guarantee the safe aviation. The system we developed has the functions such as displaying digital map data and current location, route planning, displaying the rate of deviation, calculating and displaying the cross sectional view through the route and providing a real-time speed, heading and other informations. In this system, we use GPS to get the current location, made the 1:250,000 digital map to display the current location and made the cross sectional view from the DEM(Digital Elevation Mode)) data to help safe aviation. This system provides many kinds of route setting methods by using UTM coordinates, Lati. Longi, coordinates, database of heliport location, scanned map, etc., and displaying the heading and distance. Moreover, it also has a characteristic of providing a consistent user interface.

EMSS is the organic system offering quick and efficient transfer and treatment for those who need an emergency service. For EMS aviation operation is the important transportation for the common benefits. There are several types of aviation operation. Among the different types of the operations, helicopter operation is very common because it is free from any locations. Notwithstanding the benefit, various types of EMS helicopter accidents and incidents are occurred because of its poor operation condition. In South Korea, even though so much effort was put to decrease the accidents rates, there are still many accidents happening by fire helicopters and the forest service helicopters. Therefore, in order to regularize the EMSH operation, measures for the aviation safety have to be prepared. This research is, related to the EMSH, focused on the suggestion of safety measure for the EMSH in Korea based on the accidents analysis in various countries.

민항기나 군용항공기의 경우 대부분 항행 안전성을 확보하기 위해 다양한 기능을 수행하는 레이다가 부착되어 있으나, 소형항공기 및 저가의 헬기의 경우 무게, 비용 등의 제약으로 항행 안전을 확보할 수 있는 레이다가 장착되어 있지 않는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 민항기 및 군용 항공기뿐만이 아니라 헬기 및 소형항공기에 장착하여 충돌감지, 이착륙보조, 기상관측 등의 기능을 수행할 수 있는 레이다로 35GHz 밀리미터 대역의 항공기 탑재형 레이다의 적용에 대한 제반 요건과 필요성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 그리고 제안된 레이다를 이용하면, 저속 항공기 및 헬기에서는 치명적인 사고를 유발시킬 수 있는 전력선 탐지가 가능함을 확인함으로써, 제안된 레이다가 항행 안전성을 높일 수 있음을 보임으로써 밀리미터 대역 레이다의 적용이 가능함을 확인하였다.

Korea's HEMS are mainly operated during the week, but they are pushing for 24-hour operations. This study has made an overall comparison and review of helicopter safety management that should be accompanied to this end. For research purposes, helicopter regulations and helicopter accident statistics were analyzed, with a high accident rate associated with pilot error and night flight. It was proposed that future preparations would require reinforcement of laws and regulations, reinforcement of pilots' night training, and introduction of training and preflight risk assessments. This study will provide a direction for future helicopter safety. This study will provide for future direction of helicopter safety research.

헬리콥터와 같이 비행 중 고장 또는 작동 불능 시 대처가 용이하지 않고 대형의 참사로 이어지는 비행체에 대해서는 안전이 최우선으로 고려되어야 한다. 미국의 국가교통안전위원회에서는 1963년부터 1997년까지 34년간 민간부문의 회전익기의 사고를 조사하여 분석한 바 있다. 본 논문은 터빈엔진 헬리콥터의 사고 동향을 파악하여 헬리콥터 안전 운항에 기여하고, 또한 한국형 중형 민수헬기를 개발하기에 앞서 주요 설계요소를 고려하기 위하여 NTSB에서 미국의 민수용 단발 및 쌍발 터빈 엔진 헬리콥터 사고에 대하여 유형별로 집계, 조사한 결과를 인용하여 전반적인 사고 경향, 사고 유형 또는 원인, 활동별, 운용 단계 별에 사고에 대하여 심층적으로 비교, 분석하였다.

Because of dense forests and restriction of approaching for fire fighters, forest fire is easy to be a larger fire in Korea. For this result, the air attack was about 90% of extinguishing, so the application of aircrafts, especially helicopters, will be increased gradually. In the all process of forest fire attack, the method of heli-scattering water was the chief element of success of efficient forest fire attack and safe flight. Therefore, a standardized method of heli-scattering water was required. However, as it was not already standardized, a efficiency and safety of fire fighting have been decreased. In this study, we suggest a 11 patterns of methods for scatterling water based on a actual experience of air attack.

This paper describes the detection method of wire-like obstacles using millimeter-wave radar system. Passive sensor like CCD camera can be used for the detection of high power electric cables on the hills or mountains and it can give very good quality of obstacle target information. But this system is very limited to use by bad weather condition. The detection capability for different diameters of wire targets using millimeter radar system have been accomplished. To simulate the target on the moving helicopter, rotating targets are used with fixed radar system. In the experiment 11mm, 16mm and 22mm diameter of wires have been detected in single, two and three wires in one position. The detected signal from single wire was very clear on gray level image. Three wires placed very closely together could be recognized in range, cross range image plane. For two and three wires, blur effect due to mutual scattering effect is observed.
