According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport press release ('18.12.21.) The amendment of the Aviation Business Act will reduce the capital requirements for aviation leisure operators and make it easier to enter aviation leisure businesses by improving regulations on small air transportation business. In addition, as the scale of the UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) sector is expected to increase globally, the dramatic increase in low altitude operating aircraft, including this, must be taken into account. The low altitude aircraft category is divided into small airplanes, helicopters, light aircrafts and ultra-light aircrafts, and instructors include school instructor pilots and student pilots, military and national helicopter pilots, and aviation leisure operators. In case of low altitude aircraft, there are cases of canceling operations due to low visibility and low clouds, and aircraft accidents due to excessive operation and sudden weather phenomenon. Therefore, in order to prevent low-altitude aircraft accidents, a safe flight plan based on weather conditions and weather forecasts and more accurate and local weather forecasts and weather forecast data are needed to prepare for the rapidly changing weather conditions.

Meteorological information is essential for the safe operation of aircraft. Many organizations both at home and abroad provide meteorological services for small aircraft flying at a low altitude as a part of open public service and have performed relevant studies. Recently, such a service has been expanded to an online platform in order to deliver information more efficiently. The ultimate goal of this study is to improve the meteorological service for small low-altitude aircraft that mostly travel a short distance for a short time. To achieve this goal, this study considered requirements for developing an effective information delivery system and conducted a survey of user requirements to derive the necessary information that could be used to develop a real service.

Clouds are an important factor in aircraft flight. In particular, a significant impact on small aircraft flying at low altitude. Therefore, we have verified and characterized the low level cloud prediction data of the Unified Model(UM) - based Local Data Assimilation and Prediction System(LDAPS) operated by KMA in order to develop cloud forecasting service and contents important for safety of low-altitude aircraft flight. As a result of the low level cloud test for seven airports in Korea, a high correlation coefficient of 0.4 ~ 0.7 was obtained for 0-36 leading time. Also, we found that the prediction performance does not decrease as the lead time increases. Based on the results of this study, it is expected that model-based forecasting data for low-altitude aviation meteorology services can be produced.

This study is to evaluate the accuracy of the meteorological information provided for the aircraft operating at low altitude. At first, it is necessary to identify crucial elements of weather information closely related to flight safety during low altitude flights. The study conducted a survey of pilots of low altitude aircraft, divided into pre-flight and in-flight phases, and reached an opinion that wind direction, wind speed, cloud coverage and ceiling and visibility are important items. Related to these items, we compared and calculated the accuracy of TAFs and METARs from Taean Airfield, Seosan Airport and Gunsan Airport because of their high number of domestic low-altitude flights. Accuracy analysis evaluated the accuracy of two numerical variables, Mean Absolute Error(MAE) and Root Mean Square Error(RMSE), and the cloud coverage which is categorical variable was calculated and compared by accuracy. For numeric variables, one-way ANOVA, which is a parameter-test, was approached to identify differences between actual forecast values and observations based on absolute errors for each item derived from the results of MAE and RMSE accuracy analyses. To determine the satisfaction of both normality assumptions and equivalence variability assumptions, the Shapiro-Wilk test was performed to verify that they do not have a normality distribution for numerical variables, and for the non-parametric test, Kruscal-Wallis test was conducted to determine whether or not they are satisfied.

In aviation, with the rapid transformation of the mobility industry, UAMs are emerging to operate green low-altitude airspace in urban environments. In order for UAM aircraft to fly safely transporting passengers and cargo in low-altitude urban airspace, a traffic control system that supports the safe operation of the aircraft is essential. In particular, traffic control systems that reflect the characteristics of the flight environment, such as operating at low altitude in urban environments for a short period of time, are required. In this study, we define the definition of UATM and its main services that perform traffic control for the safe operation of UAMs. In addition, we analyzed the development trends of UATM systems based on domestic and overseas cases. Based on these analyses, we present the results of the concept design of the UATM system. After analyzing UATM development cases, we found that there is no commercialized UATM system, but overseas development is focused on systems that can integrate ATM and UTM. And we identified key stakeholders and interface data, and performed UATM system architecture and functional design based on the identified data. Finally, as a necessary element for the future development of UATM systems, we propose the establishment and advancement of UAM traffic flow management systems, the establishment of integrated control systems, and the development of interface with aircraft operation systems in preparation for the unmanned UAM aircraft.

T-50 훈련기에 탑재되어 있는 전기식 비행제어계통 (Digital fly-by-wire flight control system)은 통합 다기능 감지기(IMFP : Integrated Multi-Function Probe)를 이용하여 항공기의 고도/속도/받음각 정보를 획득한다. T-50에는 3개의 IMFP가 장착되어 있으며, 이는 제어법칙에 3중의 소스를 제공한다. IMFP로부터 제공된 3개의 공기 정보는 중간 값을 채택하여 보다 신뢰성 있는 정보를 제어법칙에 제공한다. 고고도 초음속 비행시험 결과, 초음속 영역에서 발생하는 항공기 충격파(Shock wave)의 영향으로 인해 IMFP에서 측정되는 공기정보에 일시적으로 오차가 발생하였다. 이러한 오차정보는 항공기의 안정성에 영향을 미칠 수 있으며, 특히 저고도영역에서 이러한 오차정보가 제어법칙에 제공되어 질 경우, 항공기의 안전성에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 저고도 초음속 영역에서, IMFP 오차정보로 인하여 발생할 수 있는 비행안정성 및 조종성(Controllability)을 해석하기 위해 민감도해석(Sensitivity analysis) 및 HQS(Handling Quality Simulator) 조종사 평가를 수행하였다.

This study examines whether unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) operated in the context of UAS traffic management (UTM) can be properly operated in its flight environment. In detail, this study examines the influencing navigation factors affecting UASs during flight and examines factors affecting the navigation of UASs under UTM. After deriving various factors affecting navigation, their importance are determined by applying the analytic hierarchy process technique, and the important influencing factors are examined. For low-altitude UAS navigation, errors are classified into navigation-system and flight-technical errors, and a hierarchy is constructed for their sub-factors affecting the influencers. Through this, influencing factors for precise navigation of low-altitude UAS are analyzed, and high importance items are identified.

The flight information visualization of the aircraft is the system which is widely used to the threat against low altitude tasks and terrain altitude. But, it is difficult to implement the system because of restrictions that GPS data and huge geographic information should be stored. In this paper, it proposes economic DMM (Digital Moving Map) system for flight information visualization from open-source-base. First, the flight information is transferred from X-Plane through UDP and then demonstrated on the DMM system. In the proposed DMM system, flight information is visualized on the map information downloaded from an ArcGIS Map server using the mapping data between the present altitude of the aircraft and the terrain altitude. The result of this paper could be used an economic tool in the field of flight information visualization and the game algorithm research.

In a pressurized fuel supply system of aircraft, a flow passage opening device is required to keep fuel continuously transferred from one tank to the other. The device utilizes balancing weights in order to follow up an acceleration at special conditions such as negative g. It is very difficult to test the device in a real high-speed and high-altitude test since severe test conditions and expensive supports are needed. Therefore, this paper deals with performance analysis of a flow passage opening device through low speed aircraft captive flight tests (CFT) including roll and negative-g maneuvers. It is shown that balancing weights in the device can open the passage in accordance with fuel position.
