Pilots and navigators have through history used everything available to support them in the execution of their task. From the simple sounding means (for instance a stick or a line with a heavy object tied to it) to the advanced electronic support systems that are available today. This means that apart from the more traditional side of his set of tasks the influence of modern technology is felt. In general it concerns such diverse and complex subjects that it requires the pilot to remain up to date with regard to the most modern techniques. In a sense this also concurs with the change form a provider of (local) knowledge to that of a manager of a high risk operation. More information flows can reach the pilot on the place where he executes his profession. With marginal scope the pilot has to translate such information to the situation in which he finds himself in order to give a balanced advice. Knowledge of the surroundings, variable circumstances in his specific area but also language and culture play a crucial role. This paper touches on the history of pilot support systems and examines the developments of pilot support systems in the present day operating environment and addresses the implications. These range from the historic basic needs for pilot information to the present and future possibilities, supporting the pilot to make the most precise assessment at each operational stage to continually execute a safe journey in and out of port.

The commercial pilot retirement age has continued to 65 since the International Civil Aviation Organization(ICAO) amended the recommended age limit from 60. The target of this review is to analyse whether aged pilots have an increased age-dependent risk of medical incapacitation. Medical in-flight incapacitation is actually very rare event and the demonstrated annual incapacitation rate provides an acceptable risk within the criteria known as 1% safety rule for a pilot undertaking air transport operations while some controversies exist. There is a possibility that the accident rate has decreased due to the improved skill by increasing pilot's age. At the decision of flight or not for elderly airline pilot the interacting factors of personal health status, piloting experience and new flight environments should be considered to define job limit criteria than mere the age. Results of a survey led by airline pilot association in Korea shows 65% of airline pilots are willing to fly without any age limit and 87% agreed that age limit is worthy to extend beyond current standard on the basis of medical examinations. Only 11% agreed to maintain current age limit.

Recently, the issue of maintaining pilot competency has emerged as one of the major challenges in the aviation industry due to irregular schedules and flight intervals caused by the global COVID-19. Therefore, a survey was conducted on airline pilots to determine how stressed they would be when returning to their flights after experiencing irregular schedules or long-term furloughs. The level of stress that pilots receive due to flight intervals was divided into periods, and correlation with general characteristics was identified to see what emotional burdens exist as the lengths of flight interval increased. As a result, burdened flight intervals and the Pilot Flying(PF) intervals were identified as a statistically significant variables. In the case of the Pilot Flying interval, the level of stress was confirmed to be worse as the flying interval was elongated, and in the case of the burdened flying interval, the tendency of the stress index were lower as the period increased. Through this study, pilots who experienced reduced flight times were found to be accompanied by considerable amount of emotional burden proportionate to the length of the interval period.

본 연구는 부조종사 자격증명 (MPL) 제도 도입을 위한 시범운영 로드맵에 관한 연구로서, MPL 제도의 국내 도입은 기존의 조종사 자격제도와는 다른 역량 (Competency) 기반의 신개념 조종인력 양성 및 자격제도로서 새로운 조종사 교육 및 자격제도이다. 따라서 MPL 제도의 국내 도입은 초기 규정 확보, 훈련사업자 또는 교육생 확보 등의 제반 사항 준비 및 훈련 인프라 구축이 어려울 수 있으므로 MPL 제도의 성공적인 도입을 위해서는 시범운영에 필요한 로드맵이 매우 중요하다. 국내 항공시장에서 MPL 제도가 검증된 훈련프로그램 및 자격체계를 확보하기 위해서는 정부와 항공업계 구성원이 공동으로 참여하여 MPL 훈련프로그램 과정의 점검, 평가 및 개선사항의 도출해내는 국내 비행 환경에 적합한 MPL 제도의 시범운영 로드맵의 중요성을 강조하고자 한다.

도선사는 해상에서 도선사용 사다리나 승하선사다리를 통해 선박에 승선하고 있어 예측할 수 없는 해상환경의 위험에 늘 노출되어있다. 도선사는 항만으로 입항하거나 출항하는 선박의 안전을 확보하는 중요한 역할을 수행하고 있으므로 도선사 부상은 선박 전체 안전에 큰 영향을 미친다. 본 연구의 목적은 도선사 관련 준사고를 분석하고 사고를 예측하는 것이다. 이를 위해 도선사 상해사고 사례를 분석하고 설문조사를 통해 잠재상황을 식별하고자 했다. 그리고 도선사 상해사고 경향을 예측하였다. 설문조사의 분석은 IPA 분석법을 활용했으며, 상해사고 경향 예측을 하기 위해 이항분포 및 푸아송분포를 활용하였다. 연구결과 도선사 상해사고 1건당 316.8건의 준사고가 발생했으며, 사고관리 시스템의 현행 유지 시 3개월 내 도선사 상해사고가 발생할 확률은 64.4%로 나타났다. 연구결과를 바탕으로 도선사 상해사고 예방을 위한 관리 시스템의 필요성과 도선사 승선용 사다리에 대한 유지보수 및 설치 강화를 제언했다.

The Long Term Evolution (LTE) system is designed to provide a high quality data service for fast moving mobile users. It is based on the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and relies its channel estimation on the training samples which are systematically built within the transmitting data. Either a preamble or a lattice type is used for the distribution of training samples and the latter suits better for the multipath fading channel environment whose channel frequency response (CFR) fluctuates rapidly with time. In the lattice-type structure, the estimation of the CFR makes use of the least squares estimate (LSE) for each pilot samples, followed by an interpolation both in time-and in frequency-domain to fill up the channel estimates for subcarriers corresponding to data samples. All interpolation schemes should rely on the pilot estimates only, and thus, their performances are bounded by the quality of pilot estimates. However, the additive noise give rise to high fluctuation on the pilot estimates, especially in a communication environment with low signal-to-noise ratio. These high fluctuations could be monitored in the alternating high values of the first forward differences (FFD) between pilot estimates. In this paper, we analyzed statistically those FFD values and propose a postprocessing algorithm to suppress high fluctuations in the noisy pilot estimates. The proposed method is based on a localized adaptive moving-average filtering. The performance of the proposed technique is verified on a multipath environment suggested on a 3GPP LTE specification. It is shown that the mean-squared error (MSE) between the actual CFR and pilot estimates could be reduced up to 68% from the noisy pilot estimates.

Treatment of a synthetic wastewater was made for the purpose of evaluating the performance of a pilot scale of an IFBBR. The particles used in this experiment were circular shaped polystyrene whose density was lower than that of water. The reactor volume was 400 l and the SCOD removal efficiency was more than 90% at HRT of 5 hrs. The IFBBR was successfully operated for 5 months without any significant problems. And it whs certained that IFBBR had a potential capability for treating wastewater.

멀티캐리어 DS-CDMA시스템은 동일 시점에서 파일롯 채널을 제외한 모든 부채널에 동일 한 데이터가 전송된다. 이때 채널 추정을 위한 파일럿 채널의 수가 증가하게 되면 보다 정확한 채널 추정이 가능하나 데이터 채널의 감소로 인해 주파수 다이버시티의 효과가 크게 줄어들게 되어 전체적인 시스템성능을 저하시키게 된다. 따라서 파일롯 채널과 데이터 채널의 수에 대한tradeoff 가 존재하며 채널환경에 따른 요구되는 최적의 파일럿채널의 수가 결정되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 파일롯 채널을 이용한 채널추정을 갖는 멀티캐리어 DS-CDMA시스템의 성능을 분석하고 채널환경에 따른 최적의 파일롯 채널구조를 제시한다. 전체 전송대역폭을 일정하게 유지했을 때 특정 채널환경에서 전체 부 반송파의 개수 및 파일롯 채널의 개수에 대한 최적값이 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 채널환경에 따른 파일롯 및 데이터 채널의 최적값을 수학적인 분석을 통해 제시한다.

For massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) circumstances with time division duplex (TDD) protocol, pilot contamination becomes one of main system performance bottlenecks. This paper proposes an uplink pilot sequence assignment to alleviate this problem for spatially correlated massive MIMO circumstances. Firstly, a single-cell TDD massive MIMO model with multiple terminals in the cell is established. Then a spatial correlation between two channel response vectors is established by the large-scale fading variables and the angle of arrival (AOA) span with an infinite number of base station (BS) antennas. With this spatially correlated channel model, the expression for the achievable system capacity is derived. To optimize the achievable system capacity, a problem regarding uplink pilot assignment is proposed. In view of the exponential complexity of the exhaustive search approach, a pilot assignment algorithm corresponding to the distinct channel AOA intervals is proposed to approach the optimization solution. In addition, simulation results prove that the main pilot assignment algorithm in this paper can obtain a noticeable performance gain with limited BS antennas.
