A key component of aviation safety is to eliminate the errors in commercial aircraft air data systems to ensure stable aviation operation. Although the technical aspects such as the maintenance and inspection play a pertinent role, human errors are expected to have a similar or even larger influence on the aviation safety. Aviation maintenance and inspection tasks are often performed by a complex organization, in which individuals perform a variety of tasks in an environment involving time pressure, sparse feedback, and complex conditions. These situational characteristics, combined with the general tendency of human error, may lead to various types of errors, which may have critical consequences such as accidents and loss of life. For instance, if an amber message "IAS DISAGREE" is displayed on the primary flight display while the aircraft is rolling on the runway to takeoff, the crew immediately performs a rejected takeoff operation and troubleshoots the air data system. This paper proposes alternative approaches to address the occurrence of defects due to the human factors involved in the practical processes of the air data system of commercial aircraft.

This study is to review the problem concerned with aviation safety in Korea and suggest the solution to secure the aviation safety, in respect of regulation. At first, the definition and characteristics of aviation safety are studied, and then the endeavor for the aviation safety of ICAO and FAA are reviewed. All the fields of aviation safety area are included in the scope of this study; airworthiness in aircraft production and maintenance, flight operation, airport operation and air traffic control. The level of safety can be estimated by the frequency of accidents and seriousness. The causes of air accidents can be summarized as five factors; human factor, traffic environment. aircraft, weather, and unexpected incident. The activities to protect accidents are also can be summarized as five areas; man, machine, medium, mission and management. ICAO established the standards and recommends for the aviation safety, and adopted strategic action plan for 21st century. Federal Aviation Administration of USA also contributes for the aviation safety of world wide. Nowadays, ICAO and FAA tries to coordinate each other to set up efficient and effective ways for the aviation safety. ICAO developed safety oversight manual and FAA developed model regulations, individually. However, there has been trials to merge the results of each institute's studies. The direction of this endeavor is to meet the new environment related to globalization of air transport industry. It is necessary for our government to improve the aviation safety regulation system to address the new wave of aviation safety system pursued by international organization. A systematic and comprehensive measure should be devised by cooperation of all the related field and area.

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has set up the Global Aviation Security Plan (GASeP), which urges member states to transition to more advanced security systems. This paper examines advanced aviation security policies and technologies at both domestic and international levels, and also investigates the underlying reasons for the challenges faced in establishing an advanced security system in the Republic of Korea. Based on this analysis, we propose effective strategies for deploying advanced security equipment at domestic airports, taking into consideration their respective classifications. Additionally, we identify the need for establishing new technological standards to introduce an advanced aviation security system, and provide evaluation criteria for the maintenance and management of technology to ensure the smooth operation of advanced security equipment.

This study examines the history of Korean aviation industry and presents the investment strategy based on the evidence and the 4th industrial revolution. Looking at the evolution of the Korean aviation industry and its technological development will be a great help to support industrial and technological innovation in the future. The modern aviation industry is divided into stages of development, focusing on maintenance of equipment introduced in advanced countries, localization through license assembly, production of products based on technology, and international joint development. The development of aeronautics technology has been progressing towards a general improvement of economic efficiency, aircraft safety efficiency through environmental-friendliness, unmanned operation, and downsizing. The Korea Aerospace Research Institute has secured key technologies through development of several aircrafts such as Experimental Aircraft Kachi, EXPO Unmanned Airship, Twin-engine Composite Aircraft, Canard Aircraft, Multi-Purpose Stratosphere unmanned-airship, Medium Aerostats, Smart UAV, Surion, EAV-2H, KC-100, and OPV. The development strategy is discussed at the level of the evidence-based investment strategy that is currently being discussed, and so the investment priorities in aircraft is high. Current drone usage and development direction are not only producing parts using 3D printer, but also autonomous flight, communication (IoT, 5G), information processing (big data, machine learning). Therefore, the aviation industry is expected to lead the fourth industrial revolution.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to propose a method to calculate the optimal preventive maintenance cycle of radar used in the aviation weapon system of ROKAF. Methods: A hybrid model is used to estimate the optimal preventive maintenance cycle in a system that can perform condition based predictive maintenance (CBPM) through continuous diagnosis. The failure data of the radars operating in the military were used to calculate the reliability. Results: According to the research results, the reliability threshold of the radar began to decrease after 5 flights, and decreased rapidly after 12 flights. Since the second check, costs have continued to decline. Conclusion: A method is proposed to determine the cycle of optimal preventive maintenance of radar within operational budget through modeling results between reliability limit and cost for radar. The results can be used to determine the optimal preventive maintenance cycle and frequency of various avionics equipment.
