The ICAO AMO global recognition system will be instituted in 2024, with the aim of reducing the certification and surveillance burden on aviation authorities and approved maintenance organizations (AMOs). If the domestic AMO certification and surveillance system is internationally recognized through this system, it may facilitate the rapid development of the domestic MRO industry in South Korea. To ensure international recognition of the domestic AMO system, the AMO surveillance and regulation system must be improved. This study reviewed ICAO policies, standards, guidelines, and leading aviation authorities' regulations and systems with regard to maintenance organization certification and surveillance, and a comparative analysis with the domestic system was conducted. From this, gaps in aviation safety inspection personnel training, qualification, and surveillance were identified, and measures for improving inspection personnel training and organization certification and surveillance system maintenance were elucidated to preemptively respond to the ICAO AMO global recognition system.

Ten AOC(Air Operation Certificate) holders certified by MOLIT of Korea are operating their own maintenance training program. Though the maintenance training program is approved by the same authority, the contents of the program are different even in the mandatory training courses among AOC holders. The survey interview showed that the maintenance training in mandatory training should have the same contents and requirements. Throughout the survey and focus group discussion, this paper suggests the list and contents of the initial mandatory training and the list, contents and interval for the recurrent mandatory training. This paper also suggests how to implement the on-line training program for recurrent mandatory training to keep the quality of the airline maintenance training program.

The air transport industry is experiencing unprecedented fluctuations in aviation demand through the Covid-19 pandemic, and is more focused than ever on maintaining and generating business profitability. During the pandemic, demand for air cargo has soared, and the conversion business from passenger aircrafts to freighters(P2F) is drawing attention as a new business in the aviation maintenance industry. This study derives important factors to be considered in order to successfully carry out the P2F project through a wide range of cases and related literature, and analyzes the relative importance of each factor using the analytic hierarchy process. Through a survey of 33 aviation maintenance experts with more than 20 years of field experience, the importance of main factors and their sub factors was determined and implications were drawn. As a primary result, in order to succeed in the P2F project, the main factors were identified in the order of skill, finance, and location. The most important sub factors for each main factors were identified in order of securing airframe modification skill, securing infrastructure construction cost, and creating P2F business complex and district. The quantified success factors suggested the critical direction for the successful development of Korea's P2F business, and presented viable and specific business strategies and implementation plans for each factors.

Purpose: Military maintenance involves corrective and preventive actions carried out to keep a system in or restore it to a predetermined condition. This research develops an optimal maintenance cycle for aviation oil testing equipment with acceptable reliability level and minimum maintenance cost. Methods: The optimal maintenance policy in this research aims to satisfy the desired reliability level at the lowest cost. We assume that the failure process of equipment follows the power law non-homogeneous Poisson process model and the maintenance system is a minimal repair policy. Estimation and other statistical procedures (trend test and goodness of fit test) are given for this model. Results: With time varying failure rate, we developed reliability-based maintenance cost optimization model. This model will reduce the ownership cost through adopting a proactive reliability focused maintenance system. Conclusion: Based on the analysis, it is recommended to increase the current maintenance cycle by three times which is 0.5 year to 1.5 years. Because of the system's built-in self-checking features, it is not expected to have any problems of preventative maintenance cycle.

As the majority of Korean MRO demand is outsourced overseas, AMO by major foreign authorities is required to promote the Korean MRO industry to keep Korean MRO demand on shore. This study aims to promote consulting for AMO (obtaining repair station certification) by U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for Korean maintenance companies. We analyzed AMO process, studied various industry cases, developed a model for AMO consulting, and identified core competencies for consultants. We suggested a five-step modified Milan model to apply AMO consulting process. We identified seven core competencies (ethics, communications, problem-solving, technical, relationship, resource management, organizational understanding) both social and technical for consultants. Additionally, we text analyzed more than 260 FAA AMO consultant resumes on Linkedin and interpreted frequent words (airline, audit, inspector, DER, regulation, ISO, system) to their competencies. This study contributes to promote consulting for the Korean MRO industry to be recognized by FAA and to develop the Korean MRO industry.

A flare from an Air Force fighter was abnormally dispensed during the landing. To determine the cause of the abnormal dispensing, fracture analysis, signal analysis and reproduction experiments based on physics of failures were performed. The primary cause of the failure was analyzed to be due to an intermittent fault of an internal circuit card in the AN/ALE-40 chaff/flare dispenser by a broken lid of a capacitor, and the root cause which had derived the primary cause was considered to be an improper handling during the domestic maintenance which were changed from the overseas maintenance due to the DMSMS problem. Therefore, the overall process of the maintenance capability development system was reviewed and alternative ways that considers maintenance error decision aid(MEDA) for system improvement were suggested to prevent further failures.

최근 항공레저사업이 법제화되고 관련된 산업이 제도권 내에서 활성화 기반을 갖추어 경량항공기의 도입과 운영이 늘어나고 있다. 2014년 개정된 항공법에서는 항공레저스포스사업이 영리행위를 위해 사업등록을 의무화하여 법적 제도권하에서 항공기체와 항공사업을 관리할 수 있도록 하였다. 그러나 경량항공기 안전문제에 있어서는 규정을 위반하여 비행하거나, 운영자의 안전의식 부족 및 능력 부족 등이 자주 언급되고 있으며, 개인 운영자들의 경우, 안전관리 미흡과 정비 불량 등 경량항공기의 사고위험이 상존하고 있다. 현재 우리나라에서는 경량항공기 정비는 관련 법규에 따라 항공정비사가 담당하고 있으나 자격과 전문성을 갖추었다고 보기는 어렵다. 항공정비사 제도상에 경량항공기 정비 업무를 담당하는 것이 법적인 문제가 되는 것은 아니다. 다만, 항공기, 경량항공기, 초경량비행장치를 구분하고 정비업무에서 포괄적으로 담당하도록 하고 있어 신뢰성과 적정성의 문제는 지속적으로 제기되고 있다. 즉, 경량항공기에 대한 법적, 제도적 체계를 분리하고 있음에도 많은 부분을 항공기 법조항에 준용규정 하고 있으며, 경량항공기 정비업무 역시 현 항공기 정비체계를 따르고 있는 것이다. 일반항공(General Aviation)이 발달한 미국, 유럽, 호주 등에서는 경량항공기 정비와 관련한 법적 제도적인 장치가 도입되었고, 전문적인 정비업무를 경량항공기 정비사 제도권에서 다루고 있다. 국내외 법령의 분석 결과 경량항공기 정비자격제도에 대한 도입이 필요하다. 미국, 유럽, 호주 등 일반항공 선진국에서는 경량항공기 정비사 제도를 두고 안전관리를 수행하고 있다. 이는 새로운 경량항공기 운영 환경 변화에 대처하기 위한 것이다. 본 연구에서는 단순히 경량항공기 정비사 제도에 대한 필요성만을 제시한 것은 아니다. 법적 체계의 관점에서도 제도의 보완이 필요한 부분인 것은 관련 법령의 검토 결과 나타났다. 해외 사례와의 비교에서도 도입의 필요성이 제기되는 것도 사실이다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 경량항공기 정비사 제도에 도입의 필요성은 있으며, 어떠한 방법으로 개선해 가는 것이 적절한지에 대한 방안을 제시해 보았다.

Airframe maintenance is regarded the most important maintenance action in airlines as the aircraft is the most valuable asset in their operation though the volume of airframe maintenance is the last in MRO market. In the selecting process of airframe MRO provider many kinds of evaluation criteria should be considered such as quality, expenses, TAT, capability, and customer support. This paper will suggest the way to select the airframe MRO in airlines and MRO business sectors using AHP.

항공업계의 외부 이물질(FOD)은 다양한 종류가 있으며 작업자가 분실한 공구는 항공기 제작, 운용, 정비 분야 전반에 걸쳐 위험 요소로 작용하고 있다. 작업자의 부주의에 의해 분실된 공구로 인한 사고는 항공산업 전반에 걸쳐 지속적으로 발생하고 있으며, FAA, EASA 등 항공 관련 기관에서는 FOD 발생 예방을 위해 공구 관리 규정을 제정하고 시스템을 구축하고 있다. 하지만, 국내의 경우 관련 규정 및 절차가 미흡한 수준이며, 항공기의 안정적인 제작 및 인증, 운용 및 정비를 위해서는 체계적이고 효과적인 공구 관리 시스템의 도입이 반드시 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 국내외 감항당국 및 항공산업 관련 단체의 공구 관리 규정 및 절차를 분석하고, 미국 국립 표준 협회를 통해 인증된 NAS 412의 Tool Control 규정을 바탕으로 국내 항공산업계 도입이 필요한 무선통신 기술 기반의 공구 관리 시스템을 제안하였다.
