According to general architecture of flight simulator made up of several independent rendering display systems, display synchronization problem between them naturally happens. In addition, since the flight simulator is usually implemented in the same networks where network delay is not big concern, it is necessary to consider different factors of existing synchronization technique. Among them, in this paper, we propose a new display synchronization scheme for flight simulator where each system has different rendering capacity. In the proposed scheme, each system is synchronized by considering maximum and minimum frames per second (FPS) while considering level of detail and latency. Also, experimental results are given to demonstrate the suitability of the proposed scheme for display synchronization scheme.

Factors that cause fatigue, such as circadian rhythm abnormalities, have adverse effects on long-haul flights. Among many elements, the present study focused on the flight crew's expertise as a crucial factor that could influence their fatigue. The purpose of the study was to demonstrate whether long-haul flights cause fatigue and to examine whether this symptom differed between low- and high-experienced flight crews. A total of 62 Korean flight crews were informed to perform a five-minute psychomotor vigilance task twice each before and after the flight to measure objective fatigue level. Also, they were asked to indicate current flight experience to identify their expertise. Results revealed that fatigue was significantly increased after the flight compared to before the flight but this increase was significant for flight crews with low expertise not for flight crews with high expertise. Implications of our findings and limitations of the present study were discussed.

This study aims to provide information necessary for developing a "Competency-Based Training and Evaluation Plan" for general aviation flight instructors in Korea. General aviation training experts designed a survey by selecting "Behavior Indicators" from the ICAO Flight Instructor Competency Model. This study analyses the importance of Behavioral Indicators, the level of instructor performance, and the training needs for flight instructors. According to the factor analysis, ICAO "Flight Instructor Competency Model" is found as a valid tool to measure general aviation flight instructor competencies. According to the training needs analysis, flight instructors training program needs to be improved on "Training Environment Management", "Teaching Method", and "Interaction" competencies. When compared with trainee group, flight instructors & examiners have a higher training demand for "Teaching & Learning Environment Management". This study suggests the flight instructor training program requires to be reorganized based on the competencies related to the flight instructor duties in the training environments.

Helicopter accidents due to spatial disorientation in low visibility conditions continue to persist as a major issue. These incidents often stem from human error, typically induced by stress, and frequently result in fatal outcomes. This study employs machine learning to analyze flight data and evaluate the efficacy of a flight illusion detection algorithm, laying groundwork for further research. This study collected flight data from approximately 20 pilots using a simulated flight training device to construct a range of flight scenarios. These scenarios included three stages of flight: ascending, level, and descent, and were further categorized into good visibility conditions and 0-mile visibility conditions. The aim was to investigate the occurrence of flight illusions under these conditions. From the extracted data, we obtained a total of 54,000 time-series data points, sampled five times per second. These were then analyzed using a machine learning approach.

Since the success of the first flight, vast advancements have been made to the aircrafts with recent developments incorporating highly complex mechanisms, placing greater emphasis on the competence of the pilot. Studies are currently being undertaken to effectively source the trainee pilots with the most ideal level of aptitude for aviation with an aim to optimise the selection process with focus on economy and time, while research into identifying the optimal human characteristics for aviation is being done. As part of the selection process, number of tests is arranged with focus on the individual competence, suitability for flight, health status, aptitude and intelligence with the results of the tests used as reference materials during the selection procedure. This study has investigated the effect the academic competence has on the aptitude for aviation amongst many other abilities of human beings and the findings show that higher levels of aptitude have been demonstrated by the students who have displayed academic excellence across all the courses with statistics pointing to a positive correlation between the two subjects. This supports the theory that students who are academically superior have higher probability of being found to possess greater level of flight aptitude. The outcome of the study iterates the fact that academic competence of the students should not be regarded lightly in the selection process. Based on the current study, it is believed that a research into determining the relationship between the SAT results, average yearly grade and flight aptitude will help identify the key factors in possessing high level of flight aptitude with greater certainty.

An aircraft collision accident is a disaster that causes great losses of inventories and lives. Though a collision avoidance warning function is provided automatically to pilots in the aircrafts by the enhancement of the aircraft capability, achieving fast decision-making to escape a collision situation is a complex and dangerous work for pilots. If an in-flight collision situation is controlled by the air traffic control system which monitors all airplanes in the air, it would be more efficient to prevent in-flight collisions because it can handle the emergency before the pilot's action. In this paper, we develop the collision avoidance warning function in the air traffic control system. Specifically, we design and implement the five stages of the collision avoidance function, and propose a visualization method which could effectively provide the operators with the trajectories and altitudes of the aircrafts in a collision situation. By developing an in-flight collision warning function in the air traffic control system that visualizes flight patterns through the state transition data of in-flight aircrafts on the flight path lines, it can effectively prevent in-flight collisions with traffic alerts. The developed function allows operators to effectively select and control the aircraft in a collision situation by providing the operators with the expected collision time, the relative distance, and the relative altitude while assessing the level of alert, and visualizing the alert information which includes the Attention-Warning-Alert phase via embodying the TCAS standard. With the developed function the air traffic control system could sense an in-flight collision situation before the pilot's decision-making moment.

현대의 고성능 전투기에 탑재되어 있는 전기식 비행제어계통(Digital Fly-By-Wire Flight Control System)은 항공기 조종면의 고장으로 인해 발생할 수 있는 항공기의 안정성을 보장하기 위해 조종면 형상 재구성 모드(Control Surface Reconfiguration Mode)가 설계되어 있다. T-50 제어법칙에는 단일 조종면이 고장 났을 경우, 정상작동중인 나머지 조종면을 이용하여 항공기를 원활히 조종할 수 있도록 형상 재구성 모드가 적용되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 항공기 운용 시 발생할 수 있는 조종면 결함으로 인해 형상 재구성 모드 제어법칙이 적용되었을 경우, 착륙외장형상에서 항공기 안정성을 해석하기 위하여 선형해석(Linear Analysis)을 수행하였다 그리고 착륙에 대한 비행성(Flying Quality) 저하여부를 판단하기 위해, HQS(Handling Quality Simulator)를 이용하여 조종사 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 해석결과, 조종면 고장으로 인해 제어법칙이 형상 재구성 모드로 전환될 경우, 항공기의 조종성 및 비행성의 저하가 다소 발생하였지만, HQS 조종사 시뮬레이션 결과 착륙과정에서는 비행성 요구도인 Level 1을 만족할 수 있었다.
