Although continuous passenger injuries and physical damages are repeated due to the unexpected aviation turbulence encountered during operations, there is still exist the limitation for preventing recurrence of similar events because the lack of real-time information and delay in technological developments regarding various operating conditions and variable weather phenomena. The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the meteorological data of the aviation turbulence occurred and actual flight data extracted from the Quick Access Recorder(QAR) to provide some precursors that the pilot can identify aviation turbulence early by referring thru the flight instrumentation indications. The case applied for this study was recent event, a scheduled flight from Incheon Airport, Korea to Narita Airport, Japan that suddenly encountered turbulence at an altitude of approximately 14,000 feet during approach. According to the Korea Meteorological Administration(KMA)'s Regional Data Assessment and Prediction System(RDAPS) data, it was observed that the strong amount of vorticity in the rear area of jet stream, which existed near Mount Fuji at that time. The QAR data analysis shows significant changes in the aircraft's parameters such as Pitch and Roll angle, Static Air Temperature(SAT), and wind speed and direction in tens of seconds to minutes before encounter the turbulence. If the accumulate reliability of the data in addition and verification of various parameters with continuous analysis of additional cases, it can be the precursors for the pilot's effective and pre-emptive action and conservative prevention measures against aviation turbulence to reduce subsequent passenger injuries in the aviation operations.

Recently a traffic accident of heavy duty vehicles under the mandatory installation of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) is often reported in the media. Heavy duty vehicle accidents are normally occurring a high number of passenger's injury. According to report of Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, FCW (Forward Collision Warning) and AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking) were associated with a statistically significant 12% reduction in the rate of police-reportable crashes per vehicle miles traveled, and a significant 41% reduction in the rear-end crash rate of large trucks. Also many countries around the world, including Korea, are studying the effects of ADAS installation on accident reduction. Traffic accident statistics of passenger vehicle for business purpose in TMACS (Traffic safety information Management Complex System in Korea) tends to remarkably reduce the number of deaths due to the accident (2017(211), 2018(170), 2019(139)), but the number of traffic accidents (2017(8,939), 2018(9,181), 2019(10,095)) increases. In this paper, it is introduced a traffic accident case that could lead to high injury traffic accidents by being equipped with AEB in a bus. AEB reduces accidents and damage in general but malfunction of AEB could occur severe accident. Therefore, proper education is required to use AEB system, simply instead of focusing on developing and installing AEB to prevent traffic accidents. Traffic accident of AEB equipped vehicle may arise a new dispute between a driver's fault and vehicle defect. It is highly recommended to regulate an advanced event data recorder system.

2013년 7월 아시아나 OZ 214편 샌프란시스코 국제공항 (SFO) 사고의 주요 원인은 조종사의 잘못된 접근 조작과 항공기 오토트로틀 홀드(autothrottle hold) 모드로 인해 자동 속도 컨트롤(control)이 불가함을 인지 못하였고, 복행 (go-around) 결심이 늦었다는 것이다. 이와 관련하여 B777 POM (pilot operation manual)에는 FAF (final approach fix) 후 FLCH (flight level change) 모드 사용을 제한하고 있다. 본 연구는 QAR (quick access recorder) 데이터 분석 시스템을 활용하여 국내 항공사의 B777 기종에서 2년간 발생한 44건의 해당 이벤트를 분석 한 결과, 정상 강하각 보다 높은 위치에서 조종사가 FLCH 모드를 이용하여 급하게 강하하는 과정에서 해당 이벤트들이 주로 발생하였으며, 항공기 베이스 선회 (base Turn) 시 정상 수직 경로(vertical path)보다 낮은 상태에서도 FLCH 모드를 지속 사용한 예도 있었다. 아울러 공항의 표고가 500 ft 이상의 높은 공항에서 이벤트 발생율이 높은 점을 확인하였다. 이에 본연구에서는 항공기 접근 시의 강하 계획(descent planning), 수직 경로(vertical path) 모니터링의 중요성과 자동항법장치 사용 기준 및 안정 접근 항목(stabilized approach criteria)의 준수로 이벤트 경감방안 마련의 시사점을 도출하고자 한다.
