In this study, a total of 2,584 domestic research papers with the keywords "Aviation Safety" and "Aviation Accidents" were subjected to Text Mining analysis. Various text mining techniques, including keyword frequency analysis, word correlation analysis, network analysis, and topic modeling, were applied to examine the research trends in the field of aviation safety. The results revealed a significant increase in research using the keyword "Aviation Safety" since 2015, with over 300 papers published annually. Through keyword frequency analysis, it was observed that "Aircraft" was the most frequently mentioned term, followed by "Drones" and "Unmanned Aircraft." Phi coefficients were calculated for words closely related to "Aircraft," "Aviation," "Drones," and "Safety." Furthermore, topic modeling was employed to identify 12 distinct topics in the field of aviation safety and aviation accidents, allowing for an in-depth exploration of research trends.

The Reform Aviation Act of 2004 that which devided the basic aviation act and the act related aviation accident investigation announced in July 2004. The purpose of this study is to review standards and recommendations of Annexes for International Civil Aviation Convention and CFR of FAA in USA, Aviation Act of Japan, Civil Aviation Act of Australia, Aeronautics Act of Canada, Air Navigation Act of Singapore. and then after these review, we tried to compare them with Korean Aviation Law, Enforcement Decree, Regulations related their system. At the result of this study, we find out many advanced countries divided into basic Aviation act and accident investigation act. finally we have suggested mid and longtern plan and implementation which applicable to set up domestic aviation law system.

There were a total of 65 accidents of helicopers between 1990 and 2013. The overall accidents rate has remained around 8 accidents per 100,000 flight hours, and the fatal rate has stayed at about 8 accidents per 100,000 flight hours. In this study, we conduct a series of statistical analyses to investigate the significance of latent failure of groups that operate the helicopter. Analysis of variance demonstrated significant differences in the latent condition score for the 3 groups, with the lower accidents rate groups reporting better scores of latent condition. Results indicated that there are the significant differences of latent condition in accidents between groups of high accidents rate and groups of low accidents rate.

The proportion of airline accidents caused by human factors is steadily increasing. The aviation industry has made considerable progress in reducing the accident rate; however, since the early 1980s, the accident rate has remained constant. Due to airspace congestion, the safety margins of these existing safety promotion methods are gradually decreasing; thus, new methods to prevent accidents and quasi-accidents must be devised. Causative factors of aviation accidents include increased air traffic due to increased air demand, increased cumulative working hours due to long-distance flights, and complicated flight environments. Accidents often occur when several small errors accumulate in the normal course of operation, rather than after a single error. Accordingly, in this study, the impacts on air navigation due to human error by aviation maintenance personnel and varying international standards (i.e., KOCA vs. F.A.A vs. EASA) analyzed, and the relationship between human decision-making and behavior was investigated. The resulting safety analysis and alternatives were presented to prevent aviation maintenance accidents and cognitive ergonomics errors.

Safety is the first priority in civil aviation, and so the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has introduced and mandated the use of Safety Management Systems (SMS) by airlines, airports, air traffic services, aircraft maintenance organizations, and training organizations. The aircraft manufacturing industry is the last for which ICAO has mandated the implementation of SMS. Since SMS is a somewhat newer approach for most manufacturers in the aviation industry, they hardly believe in the value of implementing SMS. The management of safety risk characteristics that occur during early aircraft development stages and the systematic linkage that the safety risk has to do with an aircraft in service could have a significant influence on the safe operation and life cycle of the aircraft. This paper conducts a case analysis of the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 accident/incident to identify the root causes and safety risk levels, and also verified why aircraft manufacturing industry should begin to adopt SMS in order to prevent aircraft accident.

In aviation, it is important to analyse and classify human error in detail. Because human error has been implicated in 70 or 80% of aviation accidents in literature review. But, there is little detailed classification and research of human error. In this study, Objectives are to establish human error model by classifying types of human error in detail and also to analyse human factors by using the established model. Analysis of the data uses Korea Aviation Incidents Reporting System(GYRO). The resulting from actual analysis, there is a some difference between flight steps for human error occurrence and types of human error are different according to the aviation personnel(pilot, ATC controller).

'UAS flight recording system' is a system that is mounted on an unmanned aircraft system consisting of various components and records flight-related data. The data recorded by this system should be used for aviation accident and incident investigations to prevent similar accidents. In particular, for the category of UAS with high operating risk, safety devices close to that of manned aircraft are required, and it is urgent to develop flight recording systems reflecting the characteristics of the UAS to secure airworthiness. This paper highlights the need for UAS flight recording systems for aviation accident and incident investigations and seek a method to derive flight recording system parameters for 'Certified Category' with high operational risk. To this end, Inter-City UAM was used as a concrete use case, and the process of approaching system parameters was devised by assuming accident occurrences and hazards from mission profiles and scenarios. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that parameters could be derived through this process.

Compared with past, helicopters have remarkably high level of safety and accidents due to mechanical defects are decreased about 15%. Most of their duties, however, are to commit at duty area which is hard to access. Because of them, collision probability is high and also has relatively higher accident rates than other aircraft with special mission. A result of analysis is that accident rate is relative high with prevention of disasters, putting out a fire and crop-dusting missions under 500ft. In addition, most of accidents are related with human factors. According to this, it is required to pilots who carry these mission that safety education and detailed analysis about their mission.

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.
